My life, it seems, has taken a turn…

I realize that this song is about drug addiction, but it translates nicely to the position I am in right now.

Sunspots cast a glare in my eyes.
Sometimes, I forget I’m alive.
I feel it coming and I’ve gotta get out of its way,
I hear it calling and I come ’cause I can’t disobey –
I should not listen and I shouldn’t believe but I do,
yes I do.
She turns me on,
she makes it real.
I have to apologize
for the way I feel.
My life, it seems has taken a turn.
Why, in the name of God, would I ever want to return?
Peel off our skin,
we’re gonna burn what we were to the ground.
Fuck in the fire
and we’ll spread all the ashes around.
I wanna kill away the rest of what’s left
and I do,
yes I do.
She turns me on,
she makes it real.
I have to apologize
for the way I feel
and nothing can stop me now –
there’s nothing to fear,
and everything that ever was
is inside of here.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
Inside of here.
Now, I just stare into the sun
and I see everything I’ve done.
I think I could have been someone,
but I can’t stop what has begun
when everything is said and done,
and there is no place left to run.
I think I used to be someone –
now, I just stare into the sun.
