lyrics

Verse 1:

I’ve been in bright lights, I've been in dark moments,
I’ve pushed em all down with the hope that my heart holds it,
My heart's broken, and also part hopeless,
I felt the hate inside of me and saw it start growing,
I jotted down every thought for the right time,
When I can put them all together in my right mind,
So many days past drowning in the darkness,
Writing lines down to the sounds of my apartment,
Regardless, it was penance as an artist,
Hearing whispers from the wall, silence from the garden,
Facing the void was a choice that I made,
But now I cut through the night with my voice like a blade…

Yea, tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no harm

Verse 2:

Where’s the opportunity? Where’s the love?
Where’s the next step when nothing is enough…
…The pain is dull it’s funny how it cuts..
You down to size when you find that strength is just a bluff,
cups of blood, I gave away chasing life,
I hope they use it on the walls instead of painting beige and white.
A collection of dreams caught within these images,
To break down the edifice we’ve all been condition with,
and yes I'll pay the debt,
Or choose to take a chance and place another bet,
Now everywhere I look there’s cross on the wall,
And in 3rd person above, I'm watching it all….
