Rebirth

i wasted years telling myself that i had no purpose here
that i was just a burden and a strain
hiding my shame
i had no one left to blame
but i finally filled this empty space
i found my place
i can't forgive the man i've been
but i'll use the rest of my days to make amends
i'm lost, but i'm free
and i have so much left to give
i finally embrace a life that i was so afraid to live
i'll learn and i'll grow
and i'll learn to let it show
i'll let love be my guide in a world that left me behind
these empty days weren't meant to last
my darkest days have come to pass
and now the answer comes so clear
i am all i have to fear

i still have hate in my heart
but love runs through my veins
breathing new life and letting go
of all the things that i can't change
places i'll never go
people i'll never see again
by letting go of your ghost
i'll learn to face the man i've been
i'm so disconnected from the world that's around me
i've given up hope that one day i'll escape my fate
i've accepted that i can't erase my mistakes
and now i see
the bastard i've become
and the man i need to be
numb and misguided, i embrace my sins
and i'll let the guilt sink through my skin
it brings me peace
i'll wash away the broken memories
take hold of all i've lost from my selfish ways
i'm hollow, but i'm whole
and i have so much left to give
but i'm terrified i'll die before i finally get the chance to live
i'm not ready to leave
i've yet to walk the path that i've paved
living with the fear of all the scars that i'll save
i will never fade
my perspective will change
but my vision remains the same
to be a better man than the one that you all left to fucking rot
tear me apart
break me down until i have nothing left to lose
you can take it all away from me
because you live to see me fail
leave me for dead in this life i've wasted
haunted by the judging eyes from unfamiliar faces
maybe i'll never change
an empty soul behind an empty gaze
every color i see will turn the same shade of grey
a mindless slave to fate
i'll only be remembered by my mistakes
so you can hand me the blame
you can write me off and forget my name
i'll regress to the empty days from which i came

Apology

it plays in my head over and over again
the moment that i realized that you were never coming back
craving the connection that we never had
the stars in your eyes and the hope in your heart are now gone
and everything is wrong
i lost the will that i had to better myself and carry on
now there's nothing left to your name
but a hollow son and a father who died in vain.
i would give anything to have a chance to say goodbye
the thought never leaves my mind
it follows me into my dreams
where you could live forever
until the color leaves my eyes
your memory haunts me as much as it blesses me
but i'll still let my soul fill with your love
because i know one day we will walk together
i'll show my gratitude with every step that i take
and maybe then you'll forgive me
for all the bridges i've burned
and the mistakes i've made
i'm lost, but i was never free
just a slave to fate in a world that never wanted me
too selfish to love
too proud to cry out for help
too afraid to admit that i can't save myself
hearing your voice would make the distance disappear
now all i feel is empty space
i never wanted to push you away
but i can't blame you for wanting to leave
you walked to your god
your steps so nervous and faint
in the end i hope you found what you were looking for
i'm sorry i never knew how to help
i'm sorry i couldn't save you from yourself
i'm sorry for all the things i said that i never meant, that i never felt
i lived to learn and to grow
and i learned to let it show
with every moment that i had left
i gave all i had to give
and i'm still hopeless and alone
it turns out not even love could heal our broken home
no solace, no truth, no peace
the thought of you still tears me apart
but your soul never lost its place in my heart
til death do us part
