Laurent Sparks - Ballad for my soul

Hope that I dont spend the rest of my life
Coaxin' that anger and fear

Worshipin' idols that hide behind my eyes
Like artists who tortured their ears

And the souls I relate too died so long ago
most of them wont be born yet for years

And the stories I tell wont develop my growth
But immortalize me like Shakespeare

Medals and badges of honor all rust
And the men who adorn them will all fade to dust
But you
Want it all
On your own

Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go
Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go
Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go
Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go

Hope that I don't spend the rest of this path
Chasin' a dream that's long dead
Tryin' to keep up with a me from my past
But he always outruns me instead

And I've tried and I've tried
To devote all my soul to the ways of the church but can't see
The more that I learn oh the less that I know
The only god I've met is me

Where will you go when this all fades away
Back to your corner to hide
Conceited and coated in all kinds of pain
You'll carry it all of your life
All your life

Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go
Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go
Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go
Just a ballad for my soul
Just a ballad til' I go
