Left Behind

Haunted by hesitation This game of cat and mouse Is weathering my pride When life and lie collide New days and more frustration It seems defeat is Constantly in my eyes Should the blind lead the blind Scars and tears Left behind With words of strength Healed by time Broken, tempered hearts Won't last forever Afraid to live We fade away Victim of every lost chance Suffering with my own forgiveness Fitting in to a life benign Hope from you I will never find Growing itch manifests within Amplified by your every sin Casualty of forgotten pride Tainted by the poisons let it be, let me be Scars and tears Left behind With words of strength Healed by time Broken, tempered hearts Won't last forever Afraid to live We fade away Blinded by my own obsession Catered to mismanaged minds Lost within your false existence Trapped between your truth and lies Focused on my own transcendence Tell me now, who to trust Me, myself, and I alone As the world shatters to dust Scars and tears Left behind With words of strength Healed by time Broken, tempered hearts Won't last forever Afraid to live We fade away We fade away Afraid to live We fade away
