The only soul I'm ever gonna have
Is on the bottom of these
Old pair of boots I got
The only time I ever saw the light
Was on the coldest night when
I was getting questioned by the law
Forgive me father
Take me to water
I so ashamed of what I've done
When the time has come
For my soul to take
If I confess my sins it would be too late oh
Look away look away look away look away oh god
When the truth ain't said
But the lie is told
When the water runs red
From this knife I hold
Look away look away look away look away oh god
The only peace I'm ever
Gonna have is at the bottom of a
Bottle lay me down on the floor
I'm only awake right
When I wake up in the morning
But the devils knocking on my door
Forgive me father
Let me cross over
I'm so ashamed of what I've done
When the time has come
For my soul to take
If I confess my sins it would be too late oh
Look away look away look away look away oh god
When the truth ain't said
But the lie is told
When the water runs red
From the knife I hold
Look away look away look away look away oh god
Look away
Father
Look away
Forgive me god
Turn your back
Father
I can't change
Forgive me not
Can I start over
Breathing gets harder
I'm so afraid of dying
I'm getting closer
It's getting darker
Why don't I see the light
When the time has come
For my soul to take
If I confess my sins it would too late oh
Look away look away look away look away oh god
When the truth aint said
But the lie is told
When the water runs red
From the knife I hold
Look away, look away, look away, look away, oh god
