Lyrics

Could it be I've given up?
Could it be I've had enough?
Troubles sit at my door, but I dont want them anymore.

I drank my dreams to demise
Now I can't look you in the eyes.
Shame stares back at me, and I'll see what I dont wanna see.

Clear my eyes, clear my mind
Lay my shame on the line
Take my pain, break my strife
Give me back my life

Could it be the world is cruel?
Could it be I broke the rules?
I cant find my faith, I lost it in my early days.

I'm afraid the demons struck
Could it be I'm out of luck?
Can you find forgiveness, cuz I need forgiveness

Clear my eyes, Clear my mind
Lay my shame on the line
Take my pain, break my strife
Give me back my life
**repeat

You asked for truth I gave you lies
I'm getting tired of this disguise
Can you find forgiveness, cuz i need forgiveness
