Penance

Lyrics

I have a question You can't answer I won't tell you It's for the better The way I learned was nights Regretting my whole life Coyotes call High desert sunrise I fly so far Just to kill the time A silent war Is loudest in my mind Why can't I just live with the past And change my life Gods forgive me I am the reason I can't promise Things will be different My odds are paper thin This is my penance To be the keeper Of all my mistakes And feelings Thеre's a voice outside your window With thе same face that you lied to The cause of all that isn't right Is something beyond the point that you would've recognized A numbness rippled up and down The shafts of light won't hide it now Your hands all stained with shades of red You weren't in control and now it weighs upon your head Gods forgive me I know the reason I understand that this time will be different Had tunnel vision for twenty years so It's only now that I learned to let go I wanted to love you but maybe I didn't I guess that the distance you made was deliberate Did I misunderstand when you wanted to be close 'Cause if I was wrong tell me how the hell would I know
