Story Behind The Song
Many people go down a path in life only to end up where they don't want to be or being forced to be someone they never intended, drugs, crime, etc. Some of these lifestyles are very destructive to the health and well being of the individual and their families. This song is an attempt to capture that desperation when the lifestyle decisions start to take over.
Song Description
A young man sings about pending consequences for his past actions and decisions. He wonders how he can get out of this life he has made and find a way to live the life he really wanted all along. He notices that all of his friends are in the same situation they just don't know it. He is desperate to find a solution and ultimately breaks down and begins to pray even though he doesn't know how to pray or to whom he is praying but he's desperate and willing to try.

Lyrics
I've gone so far
in the wrong direction
All my bad decisions
Now attacking
My selfish life
has turned on me
Like a current
Pushing me
toward self-destructing
Who will save me now
from this selfish flow
who can reach this far
who can reach this far
Who will save me now
from this life I've made
Catch me as I fall
Catch me as I'm falling
All my issues
my own making
I chose a life of
self-destructing
Surrounded by
others just like me
in this mad rush to
Self-Destructing
Who will save me now
from this selfish flow
who can reach this far
who can reach this far
Who will save me now
from this raging flood
before I'm swept away
In my desperation
I began to pray
Oh God I am so sorry
Save me from
my self-destructing
Your my only hope
My only way
The only One
The only Way
You can save me now
from this selfish flow
You can reach this far
You can reach this far
You can save me now
from this life I've made
Catch me as I fall
Catch me as I'm falling
