Forever 2013

I don't believe in the existence
 Of mercy's guiding hand
 Not with all that I have witnessed
 I cannot understand
 Forever burdened with the knowledge
 That I could have been so much more
 When the truth is hard to suffer
 I knew this all before
 There is no comfort in faith
 The heavens still will fall
 A thousand towers rise before me
 And I cannot climb them all
 There is no kind of joy in this
 There is no time that it can heal
 When emptiness & shadows bliss
 There is nothing left to feel
 I have not abandoned hope
 Though I know there's nothing more
 Tired & alone
 You forget what you have hoped for
 I will walk this ground forever
 And stand guard against your name
 I will give all I can offer
 I will shoulder all the blame
 I am sentry to you now
 All your hopes & all your dreams
 I will hold you to the light
 That's what forever means
 I was never what you wanted
 I could never never please
 I swallowed all our sorrow
 In the midst of my disease
 All my fortunes all my gains
 All the battles I have won
 Now collapsing like the rain
 I stand alone your only son
 Take solace in these words
 Take notice of this place
 Hollow whispers that they are
 Like the wind upon my face
 Sing softly in my ear
 And look at me with wonder
 I will try to ease your fear
 As the darkness pulls you under
 I will walk this ground forever
 And stand guard against your name
 I will give all I can offer
 I will shoulder all the blame
 I am sentry to you now
 All your hopes & all your dreams
 I will hold you to the light
 That's what forever means
 I will walk this ground forever
 And stand guard against your name
 I will give all I can offer
 I will shoulder all the blame
 I am sentry to you now
 All your hopes & all your dreams
 I will hold you to the light
 That's what forever means
 That's what forever means
 That's what forever means
 That's what forever means
 That's what forever means
