Poem
I'm the son of all that's been Drinking deep of my sin Of premarital and of lies I've told And responsibilities I hold Scattered them all in the breeze It barely even bothered me I thought I was king, I knew everything Thought the world was just a jewel on my ring But now I see that I was wrong And I'll confess my sins in song But like a God that failed you all You don't believe in me I went through most my life Coasting by on luck And when my lucky stars blinked out Man, I'd just get stuck But every day, I'd pray To a God That I'm not even sure is a thing But a spiritual energy Inside every living thing Praying to myself and you City of the lost Crying out for something to live for Slaving away in this small town City of the lost In endless boredom we found sin's the cure That's what history has shown So me and her found a place to sit No one else knew about it An hour passed and the air was hot The sounds were sweet and it was just what we sought We didn't think about what we'd done We were just looking to have fun Now I'm laying alone in bed Worried sick and I'm clutching my head Can't afford a mistake It's more than we could take Hoping for blood To end our flood Of sin and tears Dearly beloved, can you hear me from afar? All the way in the other town, where distance keeps us barred I'm sorry I've lied to you but it's something that I'll fix Even if you never knew, it still makes me sick I'm kicking my addiction so I can make you smile Figured I'll toss my sins with it to make it worth my while Might as well improve myself so if your blood graces our day We can try again way on down the road some day Til then, these are my crimes From now, til the start of my time I've lied, stole and coveted The peace of the dead And it took until today When the sky was clear and blue I left the shelter of my home And maybe I'll find my way And leave this town with you But first, I must... Atone It's leaving I'm leaving We're leaving Looks like we're leaving it behind
