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
