Tried and True

lyrics

Back from Hell
I thought I'd absolved my sins
I've done my time
Trying to be honest
But every time I turn around to speak they say
"To be clear is wrong"
Grey is the shade of white I wear
But I'm more transparent than ever

Take these eyes
I use them to judge you all
But closed the sound
Is purely unjudgable

The devil lies in the details
Of things we've all chosen to miss
God forbid a single mistake
Would ever go unnoticed

Honesty is honestly a policy I can't keep
The things I take, take back from me
Karma's a filthy whore who lies in wait while you lay down to sleep

I stand alone
In desolation
All my fears and sorrows
Left me in isolation

So I cry out, "I am nothing"
I look at myself, and I see nothing
Nothing worth saving

I know I've hurt the ones I love
But I can do nothing
I would if I could, I would change the past
But I can do nothing
I have no control

As I survey the wreckage of things yet to come
I'm reminded that these things cannot be undone
And I can see ever more clear that nothing
Nothing can save me

No more hope

I stand alone in desolation
My fears have kept me in isolation
And I can feel it, deep down in my gut
That there is no hope, there's no hope
There's no more
