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.

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.

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.
