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.
