The pride that I once felt
has left me now
Broken pieces fill the emptiness in me
Floating embers scatter
and burn the soul
Leaving scars that show the pain that lies in me
Take what I have left
and bury me
Hide the truth I sought
the weight that burdened me
Encumbered by the knowledge
the possibilities
Blind to what lay beside me
something to set me free
Torn within myself
locked within this lie
Ever searching for the promise never kept
Losing sight of ground
floating high above
No net to guard my safety as I fall
Take what I have left
and bury me
Hide the truth I sought
the weight that burdened me
Encumbered by the knowledge
the possibilities
Blind to what lay beside me
something to set me free
Drifting far away
seeking peace at last
A restful place to keep me from my fear
Take what I have left
and bury me
Hide the truth I sought
the weight that burdened me
Encumbered by the knowledge
the possibilities
Blind to what lay beside me
something to set me free
oh please come set me free
