My mother said, "Son leave all of your requests under the cross",
So that night I prayed for everyone except me- under the stars,
I feel my downfall coming, I leave it up to my God,
For every cover up there's an untold story if you read behind these scars,
An enslaved soul trapped behind these bars,
I am so alone, one amongst all of these stars,
And we're all one - in God's eyes. He is the one that hears all tongues
Listens to all languages
He hears the spoken and unspoken,
Mends the minds and spirits that are broken and unbroken,
So help me Lord. .
I'm headed down a road and the sign reads "Where Hope Ends",
I'm caught between a dark road and a culdesac
All I can do is start pacing back
In a different direction...,
Toward a different difficult dead end,
Beaten and broken by bitter words- I once was a man of benevolence,
But I bow my head now; befouled by shame
I denounce thy fame
When you can only look to the man in the mirror- then it is he to blame
You start to contrive reasons why. .
I defy you stars, I deny you flames
LoneStar LoneStar, give a man a title, and that man unconsciously embodies thy name
Not for its deeper meaning, he surrenders to the eyes of the surface seeing, drawn in like game
He is so far drawn, he doesn't realize that he is so far gone,
It takes a nightmare to wake him up. . a nightmare to cut him like thorns,
I've sinned. I'm torn,
Turned my back, to the only woman whom could never turn her back,
So I hope you see, why for me, there's no turning back,
Honestly, I don't know if I'm coming back,
And I want to cry, but those tears get cast out by the blood that floods my eyes
And I have to much pride, so No, you won't see me running back,
I'm tired of talking, I'm out of breath like I'm running track,
Save your breath, your words fall on def ears; they get tuned out like a running track,
These worries whirl around my mind like they're running laps,
Above the surface I am fine, but when you look beneath that line, I get worse with the time
Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
But you can't tell, I keep all that pertains to my downfall under wraps,
Why is it when a man says he's fine- he is walking on his thinnest line?
I wonder why we all wonder that,
Tick Tock. Tick Tock.
