Lyrics August Burns Red

August Burns Red

Provision

You give us dreams to wake us up

You say, "Take pride in the provision"

When all we see is the face of defeat you say,

"Take pride in the provision"

My future's finally found me, figured me out

It's painful, it's tough

I never saw it coming

Come as it may

'Cause all of this life is a lesson

I'd rather learn than end up in a cold covered up dark grave

These are the words of a man

Who finally let go

These are the goals of a man

Who's laid it all down

Losing it all made me realize I am the victim

The culprit, the casualty, and the cause

Losing it all led me to you (to you)

Losing it all led me to you

I'm sick

I need sight

I need help

I need you

And I'm not getting any better

I am the deceiver

I'm not getting any better

I'm the thief, the whore, the murderer

It's times like these, it's times like these

You forget to remember who you are

The way up is down

Truth is found

When life throws you out and kicks you to the curb

I'm just as much the problem as the man behind bars

He did with his business what I do in my heart

You wronged me, you crossed me

I'll never let it ruin me

Lessons are learned, deep down within my heart

In my heart

The worst men make the best stories come true

The past is a part of me, but not who I am

I realize my identity is not in what I've seen

But in what I believe to be true

I know what I need now

I know what I need

All that was lost is not lost

Even the worst of mankind can't disrupt sovereignty

You've given me this nightmare to wake me up

You say, "Take pride in the provision"

You've given me more than enough

You say, "Take pride in the provision"
