Guilt
I don't like to battle.
I get up and travel.
Suspense...
Defense?
I run and hide...
I'm
Always on a chase
Never face to face
I don't
Confront
Instead,
I try
To
Convict you of the trial;
I'm always in denial.
You are
The problem,
It's not I...
No.
It's everybody else
I'm running from myself,
Even
My shadow
Mocks my pride
It
Reminds me of my past,
Things that wouldn't last
I used
To fill
Me up inside
But,
My shadow still prevails,
It's always on my trail
It
Never leaves
It stays behind
Me
Everywhere I go
It follows and it holds on;
It
tells
Me that I live a lie...
It says,
"All of your mistakes
Will never be erased,
They
will
Torment you 'til you die."
Am I
The hero or the villain?
I have a gut feeling
That
People
See through my facade
This
Has turned into a war,
Worse than before
I don't
Know how
I will survive
If I
take you to the grave
I will be a slave
To
You,
You'll haunt me all my life
It's like,
Every single day
Memories replay
My
Thoughts
Are eating me alive...
Stop!
I surrender, I give up.
I have had enough;
With you,
No peace
I'll ever find
So,
To feel sweet relief
And get back on my feet
I must
Confess
To free my mind
Of guilt.
