I hold my mistakes in the contours of my face
Scarred and inflamed, I wear your shame like war paint
What do you have to say?
It won't change anything
Don't know if I can suffer for your love anymore
I won't be held responsible for this war, your war
Never forget who you are
Surely the world will not
Maybe the black sheep of your herd, but I am not your son
I fear who I am, I know you do too
Was just as surprised to find my spirit burned blue
I wanted your love, I thought it'd be real
Fled to the nest but my wounds won't heal
I speak my mind, romanticize your shadow on my life
Lie through your teeth
You can't take the heat, then get your feet out of the fire

*It's time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: Who are you, and what do you want? Understanding others... will help you become whole*
A moment to rest
Another failed test
Held my emotions in my chest, and ember that burned
How I was obsessed
Slow fade out, felt like I might break down
Be thrown to the earth I almost drowned
Then I saw your back turn back around
Hoped I could rectify my lies and still be free
Pray that there's better parts of life to help remind me
Grief and jasmine wreaths, you were right about me
A stretch of road alone, just barns and burnt down homes
If family's always first, I've thrown away the meaning
A lesson that I learned only once I left the valley
It was your love that braced me through the storm
And after it all I forgive you for forgiving me of what I've done
*Protection and power are overrated. I think you are wise to choose happiness and love. Sometimes life is like this dark tunnel; you can't always see the light at the end of the tu--*

I searched around for signs but your light blinded my eyes
As the morning broke I realized this was the way it felt before you died
Filled in the gaps to find the answers lied
Followed your path and hope we reunite just to hear you say I did it right
Maybe make up for my wretched life
