It begins with a process of denying anything that happens to you is your fault.
Place blame, blame on anyone but you.
Turn a blind eye as if consequence somehow escapes you.
Let your guard down for just one time in your life,
would you let sincerity move you?
How does it feel trying not to drown,
swimming a sea of regret with your past bearing down upon you?
Selfish in nature, given into impulse.
I've lost so much from hurting others for my gain.
No way to justify, no more excuse.
Begging forgiveness is a custom I've embraced for too long.
Let your guard down for just one time in your life,
would you let sincerity move you?
How does it feel trying not to drown,
swimming a sea of regret with your past bearing down upon you?
Begging forgiveness from lips that hold hatred for me.
Slip a small blade between tissue and frame.
Keep this as my first souvenir of your trust.
Shameless damage of the skin and bone.
No recourse. Wounds of character are what is killing me.
Let your guard down for just one time in your life,
would you let sincerity move you?
How does it feel trying not to drown,
swimming a sea of regret with your past bearing down upon you?
