Slipping Away

Something I'm desperately trying to find,
I can't think what is slipping away,
Confusion always clouds my mind,
Someone is trying to make me pay.

I walk towards the fading light,
A cloudy night, no moon or stars,
All my fears are now in sight,
I can't break through my prison bars.

Give me a life to live and I'll live it,
Give me a check to sign and I will,
If you admit to your crime I'll forgive it,
Give me a heart and I'll mail you the bill.
