Away
Verse
Venom of the serpent flows in my veins.
Indentures me in slavery.
Holds me in her grasp like cold iron chains.
Chorus
Oh, the shame, the burden of guilt
Swallowed by the haze.
I am weightless, I float away.
Verse
Oh, it’s almost religious this feeling.
It’s euphoric in its relief.
Feels like I’m dreaming but I’m not asleep.
Chorus
Oh, the shame, the burden of guilt
Swallowed by the haze.
I am weightless, I float away.
Verse
It’s an answer but it’s no solution
But for a moment, I’m at peace.
But God and I know there’s no saving me.
Chorus
Oh, the shame, the burden of guilt
Swallowed by the haze.
I am weightless, I float away.
Bridge
The light flutters and fades into blue.
I rise like an ash from a fire.
Higher and higher and higher.
I am weightless I float away.

Is this about drugs, Carroll? I particularly like this verse:
The light flutters and fades into blue.
I rise like an ash from a fire.
Higher and higher and higher.
I am weightless I float away.
One little quibble - I don't think you can be indentured in slavery. Indentured service and slavery are two different things. One has an end, a hope and a future and the other doesn't.
I may or may not be an enigma

Yes addiction. It's referred to as indentured servitude. Yes, I know exactly what it is. Many Irish came over to the colonies as indentured. Basically, short term slavery to pay off the debt of passage.
