Label me the skeptic
Are you so surprised?
All these years of sight unseen
Have left me with some aching eyes
My hands are stained and shaky
From wars within and without
When you came to claim my soul
Why did you leave behind the doubt?
Will I ever change at all?
As I live this life between the glory and the fall
I could keep on asking
Or I could bide my time
Live with the uncertainty
And take all of these mysteries blind
Forgive my indiscretion
Please don’t turn away
As I give voice to my darkest thoughts
And say the things the others will not say
Do you even hear at all?
As I live this life between the glory and the fall
Can you hear the crashing sound
Of all the arguments falling to the ground?
Is the space just too far
For me to ever know just what I am and who you are?
Ever broken, ever small
As I live this life between glory and the fall (2x)
