I sold my soul so they’d tell the truth
“Have faith, my son,” when I asked for proof
Subjected myself to their abuse
They called it “love” and then pressed down on the bruise
I need to back up a distance
From that unforgiving sun
I once absorbed your warmth
And now you want to scorch everything in sight
Please tell me this is not how it is
That I just misunderstood
There is still a seed in me that can overcome
My bad and my good
The more that I seek this closeness
The more those devils resurface
I tend to forgo forgiveness
And these hurts are embedded in my chest
I know the future in my memories
I change the future in these daydreams
I didn’t mean to vilify your screams
Maybe your way of just reaching me
Please tell me this is not how it is
That I just misunderstood
There is still a seed in me that can overcome
My bad and my good
Swung from the gallows
Quick to pass judgment
Slam down the gavel
You gave my sentence
Now let me live it down
Cannot outrun that approaching sun
Pull up a seat and just swing along
With company who’ll invite the calm
Enjoy the view to a final song
And I will pretend
To not be afraid
…and wait for the end
