Wild Faith - All I Can See

A betrayal of the self hurts the worst
It’s an empty canteen when you’re dying of thirst
The desert keeps going
How will I know what I’m knowing?
When these shackles were locked with my own fists
For the children of trauma it never adds up
She gave it her best shot
It wasn’t enough
You asked how it is
Well the truth is
It’s fucked
My anger distilled into rage
Put it on a top shelf
From her sons it’d be safe
But the day that they drank it
I just couldn’t take it
And I turned and I walked away
But there was really nowhere left to go
So I wondered for miles
Getting drinks with fake smiles
Til it was finally my time to go home
When I walked through the door
Sure I'd been here before
There was a pain that had been building awhile
None of this really makes sense
How will I ever make peace between my heart
And what’s left of the lies holding on by a thread?
So I pulled out my blue pocket knife
To keep a promise to slice all this shit from life
If it leaves me half dead
I sleep until noon again
It’s expensive and I pay the price
Oh, It’s expensive and I pay the price
And right now, I’m running on empty
Only the flame of this anger burns hot
And the haunts of old stories
Still taunt me with glory
Of what I might have been
If I joined them again
Of what I might have been
But I’m not
Of what I might have been
But I’m not
Where is the road I am walking
Ever going to lead?
If I don’t stand my ground and heal these wounds right now
My heart will beat me to death where I bleed
And what is the song I will sing?
Broke my rose colored lenses
Set fire to the fences
And from here this is all I can see
Oh from here this all I can see
And right now, I’m running on empty
Only the flame of this anger burns hot
And the haunts of old stories
Still taunt me with glory
Of what I might have been
If I joined them again
Of what I might have been
But I’m not
Of what I might have been
But I’m not
And what is the song I will sing?
Broke my rose colored lenses
Set fire to the fences
And from here this is all I can see
Oh from here this all I can see
Oh from here this all I can see
