You made it out like I'm the enemy
The words I've tried to fight
The lies I've died to face
Helpless and broken
Sightless but not lost
Those eyes watching me
Those eyes judging me
The cries damning me
The cries drowning me
You can reject me now and forever
The truth is I'm the saviour
Say I'm just a sinner, I'm the problem
Now I'll turn my back on you
And leave you for dead
I laid it out for you to make a change
The light that chases me out
The sight that I've given up
Restless and dying
Precious and lying
As it all comes to a close
You can reject me now and forever
The truth is I'm the saviour
You believe the liar, the demon in your skin
Now I turn my back to you
And leave you to die
I've lied, cheated and played you all
I'm alive, conceited and blamed
A failure who always wins in the end
Now angels fall and I can see again
Devise my demise and realise I've survived
The lies that I've tried to visualise have died
And now I've lost this fight
You can reject me now and forever
The truth is I'm the sinner
You believe in lies, the horror you hide
Now I can turn my back on you
And leave it all behind

wakingDownalmost 9 years agoThe long-standing aggression and resentment is palpable and vehement. It would seem that there are no innocent parties here, that everyone is to blame in some way for something, much as it is life. The transformation of the ending of stanzas three, five, and six is small but potent, giving an evolution to the overall picture presented that makes the whole work all the more powerful.
