What I Am

I see faces in the sky

Of sad forgotten souls.

Low-down, decaying joy,

No hope to keep me whole.

No breeze to comfort me,

No love to save my mood.

Sunlight present to me,

Unbranded solitude.

How many times can I ignore

The devil standing at my door.

How many times can I forgive

I want to die but still I live.

Too many thoughts demanding,

What's a man to do.

Too many pains of old

Call out the pains of new.

I squeeze my head so hard

To force the demons out.

Dark angels laugh at me

And all that I'm about.

How many times can I ignore

The devil standing at my door.

How many times can I forgive

I want to die but still I live.

I can't go on.

I hate myself.

I can't let go

Of what I am.

A poison mind corrupts

The fabric of my soul.

I rip apart the script

But still I play the role.

How many times can I ignore

The devil standing at my door.

How many times can I forgive

I want to die but still I live.

How many times can I ignore

The devil standing at my door.

How many times can I forgive

I want to die but still I live.

I can't go on.

I hate myself.

I can't let go

Of what I am.

I can't go on.

I hate myself.

I can't let go

Of what I am
