A journey yet far

What past lies before me, 

On this path that I've taken,

Each misstep in line with, 

The love it was made in,

The heart I poured out,

For your light that I bathed in,

Now just darkness surrounds,

Unto love, I have gave in.

Can you hear me now?

My heart speaks Upon deaf ears,
So my soul bleeds Into these pages,
I gave love my everything,
It stole my dreams and took ages,
The cost of my life was prepaid,
Thanks to bad credit and slave wages,
Your velvet revolver never stood a chance,
When I laid my head in twelve gauges.
