Redemption.

I look at your painted face

I stare at your changed clothes

You think that your just a waste

You try to be like those -----

This is redemption

A new beginning

This is liberation

A new foundation

You try to hide who you are

I guess your afraid

You feel like your stuck in tar

You feel like your in to far

You try to hide those tears

When you walk into a room

You try to hide your fears

With a couple beers

This is redemption

A new beginning

This is liberation

A new foundation

You look into a mirror

But your too blinded to see

You think to yourself

How did this come to be?

You wait to die

But the time never comes

You just sit and cry

You think that you’d rather die

This is redemption

A new beginning

This is liberation

A new foundation

You write a letter to yourself

Not to say that you still hate them

But to just say

Your alright

“Its been hard without you at my side

Where were you the nights I cried?

Where were you the nights I almost died?

You just left me to die”

“Do you think about yourself

Do you miss your little girl

How do you sleep at night

Huh, do you guys still scream and fight?”

“Do you even care about me?

Or is it good riddence?

What do you want from me?

What should I be?

“Do you even wonder about your children?

Do you even care if were still alive?”

This is redemption

A new beginning

This is liberation

A new foundation
