I'm standing at the precipice
Looking over all of this
A lifetime of missteps and mistakes
I've thought of steeping out of it
Throw in the towel, it's time to quit
But never had the fortitude that takes
To sleep
Perchance to dream
But that ending is
Not quite what it seems
I could regret the way the past betrayed me
Or embrace the future that saves me
I chose to go on
I've traced it all back to the source
A congregation of remorse
These mortal sins can never be repaid
Though the lesson has been learned
The damage can't be overturned
My conscience is forever decayed
