Penance
Album • 2001
So long I've searched for answers to my life The great mystery of being I've yearned for validation from without When I should have looked within In every mind resides the soul, the second self The you so seldom known The you that holds the light to cut the blackness You were born into long ago We are all the wizards of our minds And we each can work the spell To open gates of deeper understanding And to storm the gates of fate itself

Here I stand looking into you No need to tell me what you're going through Cause man I've been there myself When life dealt out pain I'd swallow it and hold it in Then I learned to unlock the scream Buried deep within Now parts standing still are moving Reborn as a new machine Here I stand looking into myself Reflecting on the times that I conquered hell Prides swelling up within me I hold the keys to lock away the stress and strain I'll change the color of the rain I've learned I hold that power Power of a new machine Living as a new machine
All you feel is pain Huddled there in the dark Looking for the last bad reason To end it all Well I've been watching you In your self made hell And you don't see the pain You cause yourself Won't you see the light? Won't you see the light? In a world of pain There is always a way Reach inside yourself For the keys to a brighter day And if you're ever afraid Know that I'm by your side You won't travel alone I'll help you find the light Won't you see the light? Won't you see the light?

Reaching for the heavens But my hands are full of holes The holes in my hands Won't let me grasp the stars Reaching for the heavens But my hands are full of holes The holes in my hands Won't let me grasp the stars So long I've been a dreamer My head high up in the sky But my wings wetted down Would never let me fly My arms are growing weary Stardust in my eyes My heart full of envy Longing to be satisfied Reaching for glory Reaching for the sun Reaching for the magic That will make me one with the gods Reaching for the heavens But my hands are full of holes The holes in my hands Won't let me grasp the stars For years my spirits traveled Round the circles of beyond It never will rest It will carry on

A bleaker day I've never seen Reality has settled in Cause when I look at you I'm sick inside When I think that what we shared has died Love dies... only pain survives The cruelest of all illusions Darkest of all deceptions I naively believed that love transcends years Now I gaze in terror as it disappears Love dies... only pain survives Love dies

I've opened myself up Exposed my vulnerability Yet all you can do is sit there in silence Leaving me empty God forbid you should show some emotion God forbid you should ease my pain God forbid you allowed me security That all my words have not been in vain Goddamn you for silently choking me Goddamn you you've frozen my soul Goddamn you for keeping me hanging on I burned for you yet you remained cold I've risked much to love you Yet you're content to take without giving Drink in all my love So smug in the knowledge Like a fool I'll keep coming back again God forbid you should open your eyes up God forbid you should look at what's true God forbid you attempted to right the wrongs Of all the hell you're putting me through Goddamn you for silently choking me Goddamn you you've frozen my soul Goddamn you for keeping me hanging on I burned for you yet you remained cold

If you could see the world In the same light as I do But you don't So you can't and you won't You'll never understand my views And I don't care You can't relate I'm past the point of hate And you know it I've got my heart on my sleeve For you to love or hate Put up or shut up I ain't got time to wait no more I ain't gonna waste my time To see if your water turns to wine A perfect picture hanging on a crooked wall A house of cards just waiting to fall The gilded keys are the way to hell For you to buy or sell But you can never tell And I'm laughing You know I can't resist Gonna roll over you like you never existed I smile while all the while I'll put you up just to tear you down Bleeding hearts only beat so long I won't sing your misery song No more
