Mea Culpa

Everything i did for you


Is not enough



The sacrifice i bid for you


Is not enough




Everything I've been through



I'd do it again for you



Everything I've bled through



I'd do it again for you





The things that i would die for



Is not enough



The things they took my life for


Is not enough



Wanted me on the side walk
Fighting a psy-war
You are the one that i try for




is not enough...




Everything I've been through



I'd do it again for you



Everything I've bled through



I'd do it again for you






I stopped thinking about me


When i think about you


I stopped thinking about me


When i think about you





Everything I've been through



I'd do it again for you



Everything I've bled through



I'd do it again for you

A haunting, refrain-driven lyric that captures devotion pushed beyond reason and endurance. The recurring “I’d do it again for you” works like a chorus, giving the poem the pulse of a confessional song, while the spare spacing lets each admission land with stark emotional weight.
