My Passion, My Penance
verse 1
Do you want to know who i am.
To find what desire strives my hand.
Well come on closer and hear my word,
as they take you to my fjord!
Etched out from the river of broken dreams,
shrouded with the mist of hollow screams.
Do you still want to journey through this fog,
to find what secrets lies unfound!
(Heh) well let's go!
let's Go!
let's go, go go, go, go , go gogogogo!
You looked at my actions, you thought me a gentleman.
You looked at my face, you thought me handsome.
You looked at my words, you thought smart.
Yet through it all you never once looked inside my eyes!
Chorus
You called me perfect but I'm flawed.
This facade is still going on.
This mask is still on my face so tight, so tight.
It is once said that the truth must be veiled , before the truth blinds all our eye.
Well i say NEVERMORE!
I'm a liar, a thief a no good drunken fool.
Never again will i be this broken tool.
I'm shy, a faker, an opportunist taker.
Like gilded gold I have coal in my coal in my core.
Verse 2
Now that you know just who i am, do you still want to see what drives these hands?
These hands so steeped in imperfection, what drives them toward my redemption?
I want to live my life knowing i did some good.
I want to see this world growing better and better.
No more pointless tears, no more broken dreams
I want to see your smile growing wider and wider
I may not be the best choice or a perfect man,
but come on you know I'm gonna turn this world upside down!
Lets go!
(musical interlude fast before slowing down and playing slow)
Chorus
They called us perfect but we're flawed.
This facade is still going strong.
This mask might still be on our face so tight, so tight.
The world may see us for what we say we are
But deep inside we can see what a wreck we truly are
we truly are
We may be ugly, and rude,
With a crooked, cracked, reflection
we may be liars and thieves, and drunken, helpless fools.
we may be misers or fakers or opportunist takers.
Though we may be sinking in the quicksand of our ever present failures.
We can change it all!
We can change it all!
Someday
When we can finally breathe again
Someday
This mask will finally fall from our face
Someday
We will finally embrace our self
Someday
and finally smile once again
Someday
