The hate in my heart is the hell I will receive
Regret becomes a lesson
Which offers no reprieve
I have dined with liars
Made my bed among the thieves
Begged the broken their forgiveness
This failure sickens me
Here in the end
Where pain begins
The sight of it breaks you
Do not bend
Here in this moment
You'll feel it burn
Strength won't come easy
It must be earned
Own this moment
Peace will be the prize
Face this broken world with open eyes
You've come so far
Still miles to go
Claw
Crawl
Climb
Can't go down that road again
Let it fade into the past
Cherish what has come
But realize it could never last
With sand as our foundation
We sunk from the very start
How could love someone that I cannot trust with my heart?
Forever becomes the cruelest of jokes
Each word unspoken; a reason to choke
I've lived for myself through struggle through pain
Each moment with you; a lifetime in vain
If all we are
Is what we do
I guess I'm nothing
Or just a fool
The weight of guilt made me a slave
A servant to my shame
Now insecurity have become strength
Year after year, I would not rise
I thought I was forsaken
Now I see beyond my pride
I have been awakened
