Here I come
Come to you in the very clothes
That I killed
Killed you in and now I know I'm alone
I walk to you
Rain falls from you
Can you wash me?
Can you drown me?

I wanna be a lot of things
So much pent up inside of me
I wanna be stronger
Too long I've sat here undecidedly
Planning stragedy
Half of me knows it's all just a fallacy
Failing miserably
Drastically and then I crash dramatically
Into a wall I've hit a hundred times before
And yet I still ignore the dark red blood stains on the floor
And I'm back in front of you, Lord, with the blood on the floor
Is the blood mine or yours?
Don't wanna do this anymore

Back and forth between being me and who you call me to be
You see a man free who thinks he has to buy a key
To a door but he can't cause he's poor and he can't
Fall down anymore cause he's already on the floor
And his heart is broken and all and this is his call
But it's more of a cry cause he will try nine times
To realize nine crimes but he has more than nine lives
So he picks himself up and keeps climbing for the prize
Again

Here I come again to you
Just to show that blood soaked through
Through my bones and all I own
Is there a way for me to grow?
I walk to you
Rain falls from you
Can you wash me?
Can you drown me, please?

Every time I feel selfish ambition is taking my vision
My crime is my sentence
Repentance is taking commission
It's taking a toll on my soul
I'm screaming submission and
I don't know if I'm dying or living
Cause I will save a face for name's sake
Abuse grace
Take an aim to obtain a new name in a newer place
But my name is lame
I can't walk and I ain't the same
And my name became a new destiny to the grave and
They say the ocean's blue
But it's black right now
In the dark, on the sand
Looking out at my crowd
Depression and drowning singing now the full parts
Of lightning reveals where the ocean stops and the sky starts
I've been told by the sky that the ocean I shall win
But it's hard for me to see where the ocean stops and the sky begins
A random strikes of light remind me of what is true
But right now the ocean's blacker than black
The sky is too
