A Means To An End

A Means To An End Innocense lost to a lifetime of cost And a childhood mistake Don't lose your health finding yourself Or deny the journey that you take The truth didn't die, and neither did i Though i tried to set us free Held by the mesh in my cage of soft flesh It cuts me more than me Hoped time would heal scars too real But the wounds bled again Self-infliction is a sin But it's all i can feel Must suffer my buffer A means to an end
