So strip away all of my shadows
And light me up brighter than the sun.
My hands are strong from building these gallows.
Many will be left hanging before my time here is done.
Before my time is done (x2)

Well I could show you no merciful side again,
I could just hold you wouldn't that be nice?
One thing I know by now is that in the end,
You can never swim in the same river twice.
Try, your wasting your time.
Oh, I don't know why God made me this way.
I don't know how much more I could take.
You know it's always my mistake.
And I'll be sorry when I break you.

So take me high, fly me over the mountains.
Cry of the raven and the scream of the dove.
And I'll be gone on the wings of the eagles, crowd behind me, left everything that I loved, all of the things I loved.
Oh, I don't know why God made me this way.
I don't know how much more I could take.
You know it's always my mistake.
And I'll be sorry when I see that you're gone.
Gone away, like a god, gone astray.
Not a word, will be spoken, of how it broke me when I saw you broken.
Broken.
Broken.
When I broke You!


Want it all but,
can't pay the bill,
just staring out my,
little window sill.
My companion,
one colorful pill and,
nobody cares about,
what they can't kill!
