Lonely Faces

(album: Troubadour Of Troubled Souls - 2021)

I see those lonely faces
Staring back at me
It's like I have the answer
I'm just a fool
I'm just like you
Yeah we all make mistakes

I'm just
A step away from the top but a stumble from the bottom
The leaves only fall in the fall lately it's been autumn
The apple doesn't fall far the tree but I'm not rotten
So I'm still climbing for the fallen so their names are not forgotten
I refuse to quit now lay it down and play possum
The problems that I bottle hard to swallow gotta solve 'em
So I'm searching for the answers begging for the truth used to figuring shit out on my own
I'll settle for a clue
They say it do what it do but what
I did ain't forgiven
This story has been written in the blood of a sinner
Drowning in the river of regret from my mistakes
But I'd make 'em all again with no regret if that's what it takes

I see those lonely faces
Staring back at me
It's like I have the answer
I'm just a fool
I'm just like you
Yeah we all make mistakes

Still living check to check even though now it's big amounts
Nemo said I'm rich in friends so nothing else counts
I've been counted out now they count on me to get 'em out
Just had 7 figure year but still ain't got this shit figured out
No rest for the righteous cause the wicked never sleeps
So I'm still workin overtime to pull my people out the deeps
Cause they've been slipping gripping on to every single lie that they hear
Dying with no hope they out here living life in fear
I ain't scared never been better than
I ever been
Been through hell made it out baby
I'm a veteran
Team captain bullet holes bleeding through my letterman
Cut ties with the devil but I never seen a severance

I see those lonely faces
Staring back at me
It's like I have the answer
I'm just a fool I'm just like you
Yeah we all make mistakes

I see those lonely faces
Staring back at me
It's like I have the answer
I'm just a fool I'm just like you
Yeah we all make mistakes
