I'm not a god just a mortal with dreams

Looking up from the ground where I stand

In the break of dawnn the streets so wide

Searching for my conscience lost and wide

Faith a laughing stockso easily swayed

Betrayal but a sign of our restless days

I'm not a child of heaven just a stepping stone

On this path to happiness I'm alone

I thought I couldn't be sly but I learned to be vague

Never thought to say thank you but you stabbed me from behind

It's not that I can't see the grains it's that I've gone blind

I'm just a vessel my soul's home left in tatters behind

I thought I'd never be dishonest but fate had its way

Lies told as justifiable are the feathers I've lost along the way

It's not my innocence it's your heavy investment in love

It's not my stubbornness it's the ease of being the shadow of solitude above

Cursed with a face that time forgot

Paused moments split into countless plots

A pity from the rebel's mouth a ritual in the face of loyalty

I'm an angel in the devil's den they call me fool

I've learned to be

I thought I couldn't be sly but I learned to be vague

Never thought to say thank you but you stabbed me from behind

It's not that I can't see the grains it's that I've gone blind

I'm just a vessel my soul's home left in tatters behind
