I'm realizing just how sorry I truly am for all the shame and self deception
Like it all just came apart
Each cause, each pause, finite, imperfect flaws
I've reached my utter zenith, tearing through this shallow moderation
Pray there's no cause to pacify what's left undone
Just lucid traces of a path we chose to stray from long ago
What kind of fool revisits blights and contradictions once he's free
Just let it go she said, along with every tired turn of phrase I've ever heard
It leaves me empty because I know she's got it right
And I've been so passive more contagious than inspired
A little light breathed into darkness where nothing ever really grows
Pray there's no cause to pacify what's left undone
Just lucid traces of a path we chose to stray from long ago
What kind of fool revisits blights and contradictions once he's free
Your best taints the rest Fools like up and they swallow
Following the same apprehensive state of mind that we follow down
So many wasted days hiding out in the shadows
Sorrow filtered through the cracks of what becomes of tomorrow
Nothing left but the truth, shine a light and we got it
Draw yourself to a place where the lies are forgotten now
Prepared for the worst of what becomes of the others
Just one more life for me to sacrifice
