lyrics

No light shines
Through a broken mind
When there’s not
Much left to save
One more child
In the drunken wild
Where I took more
Than I gave

Caught the stank
Of the general’s rank
Got the message
Loud and clear
Now I’m claimed
By the unformed stain
In the lexicon
Of fear

Please
Take me home
Please
Call my name

Wrote my tale
In alcohol
It’s a
Disappearing ink
Now I pray
For just one day
When I still know
What I think

Please
Give me peace
Please
I’m begging you
Please

May light shine
On my open mind
Let me please just
Have a taste
I’ll explain
All the unformed stain
If I might just
Find the grace

Please
Give me hope
Please
So I might
Cope

I’m gonna
Find myself
Alone
I’m gonna
Find myself
Alone
Ooooo
I’m gonna
Find myself
Alone
