Walk The Streets

I walk the streets of this town alone
Just collect my thoughts on how to right all my wrongs
Trying to find the reason why I'm standing here today
Looking to the heavens wondering what's he going to say
I've been hiding in the shadows in the corners of my mind
Trying to stay Amay from what's deep inside
Of my precious heart so I've been told
It wasn't made of mud...it was carved from gold

And I'm on that line between love and hate
I try hard to forgive Everything that they take
And I'm past the dream of beauty and grace
I pounded through the pain just to keep up with the race
Nothin ever happened through all the fear
I've lived my life thinking that the end is near
Never knew myself I just took the pills
To cure my body of the things that kill
I left my mind in my childhood days
What I wouldn't give just to come out and play
And dance the dance of an unwounded child
Loud and free young and wild
But freedom won't come cause they hold the key
That keeps myself far away from me

I'm just like you I hurt the hurt
I bleed the blood wearing my heart on the sleeve of my shirt
I dream of better days
Ones with out the clouds
Ones where my demons will get lost in the crowd

I love my father my brother too
I shed a tear for my mother when the day is through
She gives it all gets nothing back
Walking this world under the wings of a heart attack

So I walk the streets of this town alone
Just collect my thoughts on how to right all my wrongs
Trying to find the reason why I'm standing here today
Looking to the heavens wondering what's he going to say
At the shape I'm in today
