Justified

No excuses
My search for truth has led me to believe
There's nothing worth believing
The steps I've taken
I know keep shaking
But at least I'm only deceiving me

Been kissing ground, beaten down
Wanting so much more
Would question why
I have suffered way too long
So I don't feel the need to justify

Fingers stepped on
Grasping for rings I have been denied
I will make them mine
Beyond compassion
While laughter burns my ears
And solely my convictions are now to be my guide

You don't see this, I won't apologize
When I have eaten so many of your lies

I speak, you don't hear
Somethings out of place
I sing, strong and clear
Every breath a waste
I scream, get nowhere
Realize my mistakes

Bewildered stares, half spoken prayers
Neither slowing down
The change that's come between
No excuses, my search for truth has
Led me to believe I'm not worth believing
Rising from the ashes, leaving my heart frozen
To what has come before
Refusing to acknowledge what was once the given
Forevermore
