My Own Angel


Every day is the same, living life without a name I lost my way a long time ago, And I’ll find myself again; even if I have to do it alone Life is one long crossroad with many choices to make The places you’ll go will end up sealing your fate I’ve made every wrong choice, all within the blink of an eye My inside voice is slowly starting to die I’ve had one too many to try to drown out the worst in me If I ever had one final wish, I’d wish for my own happiness Faith can only get me so far, In trying to save me from the dark God left me to clean up his mess He made it easier for me to choose Between this loaded gun or this noose There’s nothing left of me for him to bless No matter how hard I pray There’s nothing left for me to say I’m leaving all this behind to find my own way I’ve been running in circles, with nothing but my own self-doubt It would be a miracle, if I found a way out I lost against sin and all I see now is red The only way to win is to lay on my deathbed I’ve paid for my mistakes; there’s only so much a man take If I can’t learn from what I’ve been through; it will be the last thing I do Hope is what got me here in the first place And now, I’m a failure to the human race Redemption is out of reach I’ve dug myself a six foot grave A lost soul that the church couldn’t save And there will not be a farewell speech No matter how high I climb Happiness will soon be mine It’s time to find my new meaningful life Every day is the same, living life without a name I lost my way a long time ago, And I’ll find myself again; even if I have to do it alone
