It’s with myself that I wage this fight
A battle fought both day and night Everything’s wrong, nothing’s right Can’t escape my abject plight So many things inside of me I don’t allow anyone to see Still my seraph hears my silent plea I see her cry when she sings Put her thru such hellish things She truly earned her heavenly wings A perfect love I hear in the lilt of her voice Drowned out by the din of my choice I don’t know why she keeps on trying Continues to smile instead of crying Knowing I’ll only risk leaving her again Wish I could say it’s my only sin

I’d take it back
Make it all good I’d change all of my tomorrows If yesterday would only say I could A flash of a badge and trumped up charge And I’m a fiendish criminal writ large Archaic punishments for victimless crime They even the score with who After I’ve done the time The more I think The more I find An eye for an eye Only makes the whole world blind All that remains are these chains I wear And my mind searching for a way to make it fair. I am only a pawn
In your sadistic game No stars but your own On your wall of fame You don’t see me Don’t know my name All the pride is yours Mine is only shame So far out of touch Guess you’ll never know You don’t love all you keep Don’t realize what you reap Has nothing to do with what you sow You’ve grown weak and weary Life has taken its toll Now whats left to soothe your aching soul A smile from the young A touch from the old There’s no more guiding light No shelter from the cold Will you find strength to fight Or cut your losses and fold Its not what you envisioned You reached your goal You have everything you wanted But it isn’t what you sold |
