Question?

Sometimes things get lost in translation
Sometimes people just do not listen,

Things have been pushed down deep within
Can they look past what they see as a sin?

I know all the dangers and I've heard all the speeches,
I know most turn into snakes and leaches...

Open arms, open mind
Some lost, some blind...

Dark paths are the ones I know best
This is me now, I'm not like the rest.

I'm not going to try to convince
I'm no knight or a prince...

You would think by now that I'd be numb,
I'm willing to accept whatever may come...

Too bad there's no reset button once something has been said
No way to turn back on this path that I've led.

I'm not looking for answers, I was looking for ends
All alone for too long, no family or friends.

What is a lie if the question was never asked
Completely me... never masked.
