Verse one
Captivated, I’m a man consumed
Pickin’ at these open wounds
Adding up the final cost
Mindful of the one I lost
Remembrance of my hopes and dreams
Swept away in crimson streams
Comfort comes in numbing waves
As I push to wash the pain away

Pre-chorus
Circumstances set the stage
But I’m the one who digs my grave
Chorus:
A rusty spade just diggin’ holes
To bury my remorseful soul
As I recede in my escape
I disappear without a trace

Verse two
Angels whisper in deafening voices
Convicting me for selfish...

I woke up this morning in quiet meditation
Reminded once again by the memories
Memories of my senseless addictions
And the destructive tragedy
Of mind altering transformations
An epiphany strikes to reveal the beauty
Of how it was all meant to be

After decades of blinded vision
I’m now searching for clarity of mind
Seeking truth and understanding
To leave my past behind
So I’m asking for forgiveness
For all my selfish sins
Even though I've made bad choices
The fallen can surely rise again
Lord, you've opened up my jaded eyes…...
