Sorry

I should show more grace for all I have

and not push hope into such a hard place to live

remember the vision and the light we share

kindness and the strength to forgive

myself in the shadow of angels

myself for all this wasted play

what I really meant to do for you was come clean

what I really meant to say

I'm sorry

so sorry

It comes from staying out there way too long

then stumbling around into your room

overloaded and breaking down

these precious things that mean the world to you

I'm not hateful I'm just frustrated

I'm not evil I'm just naked dumb

into the water when I first waded

too many times, too many times I had to turn and run

any fool can get down on his knees and pray

but what are you going to do boy

when the lines are drawn down

and the connections are lost

because you can't find your way

for all the times I did not call you

and even more so for the times I did

channeling demons despite all progress

writing books that no one ever read

out of my body down in the darkness

out of my mind I cannot explain

for riding the fence on your witness

for living my life somewhere down there in between

I'm sorry

so sorry
