lyrics

I’ve forgotten how to speak again
I’m just tongue-tied and sticking to my seat
I still struggle, though the past has fallen far behind me
The dust collecting on my sleeve serves as a cruel reminder

I was trapped in stone, a hundred years or so
And somehow learned to speak

Before I disappoint you
Take a careful look at me    
I’ve walked a crooked path
It’s been a long and harrowing journey
I’m doing everything I can
To be a better man
            
I’ve forgotten how to sleep againI just can’t face another wicked dream  
I’m still haunted, though the past has fallen far behind me
The shadows cast against the wall serve as a cruel reminder

I’ve seen kindred souls earn an early grave
And I’ve kissed death on the cheek

Before I disappoint you
Take a careful look at me    
I’ve walked a crooked path
It’s been a long and harrowing journey
I’m doing everything I can
To be a better man
                  
I’ve forgotten how to be a friend
I’m just so busy lookin after me    
I’m still broken, though the past has fallen far behind me                
Your betrayed and bitter words served as a cruel reminder

I was left alone to tame my troubled heart         
And I rocked myself to sleep

Before I disappoint you
Take a careful look at me    
I’ve walked a crooked path
It’s been a long and harrowing journey
I’m doing everything I can
To be a better man
To be a better man
