A Mile In My Shoes

As i stand at the precipice of my soul

I stare deep into its black abyss

I'm numb, scared and shaking with a sweat on my brow

This time i've bitten off more than i can chew

There's an old post standing almost out of place

A silent witness with scars from times before

A fateful warnings inscribed "all secrets are kept"

But we cannot promise pity or redemption

[chorus]

All this pain is confusing, has me all out of sorts

I often think i can't go on anymore

All i ask is please don't judge me, don't judge me at all

Until you walk a mile in my shoes

I find solace in the bleeding from the scabs on my wrist

And my forehead and also on my face

I know that no one else can see the strangers i meet

As they come to me when all others are asleep

If you find yourself with these words in your hands

Then i have be unsuccessful in my quest to survive

The pain and the guilt of my spineless existence

Was so much more than i was worth
