There have been times throughout my life When I fell so far I thought I'd never stand again I watched my dreams depart These aberrations had their place In the grand design But it's unnatural to feel So bitter and resigned
Forgive me my mistakes I'm only human I bleed just like you From time to time So why can't I convince you I'll be fine?
Ignore the writing on the wall It just decorates A place that I have lived so long: Delusion's vast estates There's nothing sinister at all Gnawing at my soul But these confessions that I give Help me feel in control
No absolution comes for free And it never will And those among us without sin Are even rarer still
If imperfection is the lens That you see me through Don't be surprised if someday soon That lens stares back at you
