Throes of Desperation ft. Threshold Lyrics

Everything slips straight through your hands

Face never-ending hardships you wish would come to an end

But you fall victim

Again and again to the same disease, forever destined

To stare at the sky and beg on your knees

Welcome to the evil streets

Where people stuck in the cycle sleep rough on the cold concrete

But you've got to scratch and claw your way back to life

Don't let this be your fate

The belt tightens like the knots on the noose

What are the odds? Win or lose?

Is this destiny or the grip of dependency?

The reapers searching for your soul

Track marks show the heavy toll

Only so many ways to keep the demons at bay

Intravenously before mind, body, and soul decay

So don't be fooled and led astray by parasites

Who will promise you this is the only way

Throes of desperation

No escape

Don't let this be your fate

Don't let this be your fate

I don't want to be reminiscing on friends that passed away

Because of a lifetime of decay

Lost their lives to the struggle of the streets

When they could have lived to see a better day
