Truth Be Told

(album: Of Life And Love And Longing - 2013)

There's nothing good within me
If I'm honest
And If I'm honest, there are times
I will try
To dress up all my darkness
And make it seem like it was light
All along
But it's a lie

If truth be told, I'm nothing
On my own
The only thing I know for sure
Is that I don't know a thing
To be sure

If you only knew
What I've been prone to do
You'd run far and fast away
From me, Oh God
Hear my plea
Cause all I see
Is this darkness that is buried
Within me

So darling don't dare trust me
If I say I'm ok
If truth be told, I do the things
That I hate everyday
Anyway

If ever I may think
Myself to be more than a wretched man
Forgive me, and please don't let me
Ruin myself once again with these chains
That I cannot sever
I'll do whatever it takes just to make sure
My head stays above
This water that is filling my lungs

If only I could do
The good I want to do
I'd leave this place forever
And I would never
Turn back around just to fight this old war
Because I'm broken and I'm begging
For something more
