Poetry From a Past Life - Part 5
This song was written after I terribly hurt someone by my careless actions, Whether it could be used by the band, i wasn't sure, but I was overwhelmed with pain from my own foolish mistakes. It took minutes to write, probably because of all that was flowing from wounds too deep to see on the surface.needed to be drained.
That being said, I was happy with the way the song turned out, both from a lyric standpoint and a music standpoint. It did not, however, make my wrongs right.
Still
The time has come to go.
The night has turned to day,
And all the things I know
Get lost in what I say.
Still, I hope you can see through me.
I'm not what I seem to be.
And in the aftermath of the glow
The emptiness still shows
The time that's lost to us
Is that which fades away
Into untold years
Never minding what we say.
Still, if you could only see
What I was meant to be,
And if I could only know.
The pain would never grow.
The difference in what might have been
Is the way things really are.
Wisdom, wine, and wealth
Have left an ugly scar.
Still, my feet do move,
And my mind forever goes
To a place I knew
To reap what I must sow.
Still, I look at all my years
Through the stain of all my tears,
And I missed the Master plan,
So I stand with empty hands.
