lyrics

Well it killed me to think that I’d done this to you
Unconscionable act of betrayal undue
In the silence of evenings in despair I boiled
Fearing the worst in regret tightly coiled

Destructive at least, suicidal at best
How could I engage in some defeating test
Of limits to locate a vain constitution
That undermines our peace and sees dissolution

Remorse ain’t enough, it’s just token you see
For the damage is permanent, deep within me
When the crossroads appeared, well, I didn’t think twice
Of the lifting I asked for of defeating vice

Again turned to the spirits for guidance and more
I’m forced to confront this and settle the score
With my conscience embattled, my soul is at stake
There’s so much to undo, deeper than mistake

Nearly breaking apart, I could take it no more
I was drowning and sicker, its target my core
And immersed, floating quicker, I long for the womb
Give my love to my people, I’m coming home soon

Now I’ve found not to act anymore
In jeopardy acts, killing what I adore
Our power for evil is lethal I’ve learned
So I’m changing direction before we get burned

Now I’m lifted, forgiven through narrow escape
I’ve had so many chances to humbly partake
In a wholesome existence, in love with my friends
Now I’m reborn, I’m living to kill never again
