Desolation

I’m in it now, I’ve really done it this time And now I’m getting hit by a whole wave of trouble There isn’t a point in trying to cover my crime ‘Cause everywhere I go I leave a burning trail of rubble. I promised I’d be good and I meant it when I said it But these demons of mine were quick in making me forget it. My sun’s gone out and the sky is burnt Everywhere I turn I see desolation No one left to love and nobody to hurt I hate that I’m the cause of this situation I found some sharp objects I was sure I’d lost And used them to carve a big hole in my life At the time I didn’t much consider the cost But it’s clear that I’m the one who orchestrated the strife. I said I’d never do that, God, I meant it when I said it But this sickness of mine made me hastily regret it. My sun’s gone out and the sky is burnt Everywhere I turn I see desolation No one left to love and nobody to hurt I hate that I’m the cause of this situation If I could take it all back, believe me, I would I’d do everything I can to hold up the ceiling But apologies from me won’t do any good And I’m powerless to try and initiate the healing. I’ll make you proud of me, I swear I meant it when I said it But the fear I hold inside me is always trying to upset it. My sun’s gone out and the sky is burnt Everywhere I turn I see desolation No one left to love and nobody to hurt I hate that I’m the cause of this situation
