Desperate Times

Time and time again
I stand at the crossroad
Where the weight of my burden
Eclipses my resolve
This broken path I've chosen
I walk it alone
Though I feel forgotten
You've carved my name in stone
In these desperate times
This I plead
When all else fails
Remember me
Broke!
This is daily crucifixtion
And these rusted nails leave scars
My jagged crown is at my side
Anguish is never far
In these desperate times
This I plead
When all else fails
Remember me
This is a blood-oath
They are nothing to me anymore
But your voice means more to me
Than you'll ever know
Theres no question
Youre the answer
I will find you
In these desperate times
This I bleed
When all fails
Remember me
In these desperate times
This I bleed
When all fails
Remember me
