Once & Future - Hurt Heal

Beneath the burden of a few good lies
Wound up where honesty won't keep me alive
Shaking from keeping my crooked straight
Indebted, embedded in a darklit fate
Creeping the edges of a saving light
Just close enough to be taken at high tide
Forget the manner of judgement day
Because who says I'm right decides where my allegiances lay

Is it wrong to not want it this way?
Does the hurt heal or deepen the pain?

Bitter from building up "Empire I"
Whittled my "would's" into something alive
Never giving thought to my skill less hands
Oh, I reprimand "why didn't I give a damn"

Is it wrong to not want it this way?
Does the hurt heal or deepen the pain?
Do you care for me? Did you ever at all?
An echo comes back, no it's the response

I've got to be honest, I know it's much too late
But better than never for sanity's sake
Could this grow into something and grown beyond despair?
Or will it fade away here?
