Accept the Way (11/24/2006)

I’ve said a few things that have pissed people off
I’ve angered them a bit in my moment of lost
Self control, emotionally charged situations
I laid it hard with a heart of temptation
The darkest persuasions that would cloud my life up
Until I broke down and thought that my life sucked
Tearing my mind up ’til I snapped at both ends
And went off on my family and attacked all my friends
Watching life bend, trying my hardest to break it
If it all falls away, then I won’t have to take it
I was soulless and faithless and left there for empty
A soul left in thirst that would give when you’d tempt me
And you’d call me out and ignite up a battle
And I’d spill a line like a boat with no paddle
Going no where simply riding the current
When I saw the lines for everything that they weren’t
Lacking the passion and the meaning that filled me
Riddled with words that had proven you killed me
I let it be still me and focus the outcry
I took it all in cause I will never let doubt lie
Cause I am what I am, some hope I’ll change for the better
But the path that I’m on won’t let me stick to the letter
There’s no turns, no stops, no apologies
I’m not sorry for the past that will follow me
Would you hollow me? Would you take it away now?
The past has been done, please let it fade out
And watch it all go, as it shrinks in the distance
It’s all that I was, but it’s not in this instant
