Redemption

Stuck in this in-between and tethered by the guilt

I set myself free

In this forgiveness of self, I’m breaking the chains

So I may leave this world in peace

Greed is a hunger that won’t fill the void

Just a false sense of happiness to us all

With only emptiness left

In the darkness the rage was beginning to grow

But once you spill the blood

You’ll never rid of the stain

Realizing too late, is it too late to change

Break free, atone, and surrender your pride

What a sight

Following the fantasies you devise

You find yourself at the end of the road

Running from the shadows in the night

Surrounded by the exit signs

And there’s no turning back

Buried the fear and unrest

Only to manifest as regret

I could have painted the walls with red

Or jumped off the fucking ledge just to hear the sound

But once you spill the blood

You’ll never rid of the stain

Realizing too late, is it too late to change?

Break free, atone, and surrender your pride

Following the fantasies you devise

You find yourself at the end of the road

Running from the shadows in the night

Surrounded by the exit signs

Will you remember the person I thought that I could be?

Will you remember my innocence?

Will you remember? Wish I could erase everything

Will you remember my innocence and for who I could have been?

To know that your days are numbered

To know that your time is short

Death is what gives life meaning

So who will you be at the end of the road

Letting go, going home

Remember me not for the mess I’ve made

But who I could have been

Finally I’m going home

Letting go, letting go

Running from the shadows in the night

Surrounded by the exit signs

Rise above the shadows putting forth your hands

Finally I'm going home

Rise up, rise up above the shadows

Finally I'm going home

Letting go, going home
