My Fall
I am ashamed of my position
How far I let myself fall
Now with all I have left
There's no one left I can call
I burned all their faith
Bridges of hope long gone
I sit lonely with only my shame
As a cold wind blows in the dawn
Colder still are the stares
From those that once cared
Unable to continue watching my freakshow
Turning away, so their own lives were spared
Here at the bottom I stand alone
As it should be I need reminding
Of my strength and ability
This new sun outside is blinding
Clearing my vision now I see
I can and will make it out
This hole I dug is deep but I can see
I have the ability to go another route
How far I let myself fall
Now with all I have left
There's no one left I can call
I burned all their faith
Bridges of hope long gone
I sit lonely with only my shame
As a cold wind blows in the dawn
Colder still are the stares
From those that once cared
Unable to continue watching my freakshow
Turning away, so their own lives were spared
Here at the bottom I stand alone
As it should be I need reminding
Of my strength and ability
This new sun outside is blinding
Clearing my vision now I see
I can and will make it out
This hole I dug is deep but I can see
I have the ability to go another route
