From grace I fell into the depths of hell
Down into the desolate valley of lost souls
Scratch the surface of me and you’ll find a failure
Failure in a sense that I’ve given up on a solution
Given up on hope
The white flag is flown above my head
Showing the world my embarrassment and demeaning spirit
I give up trying to understand or be understood
Trying to fix a broken system, being constantly destroyed by ignorance and poor planning
But I know time is on my side
How much? I have no clue
The time of others will run out
And no longer will they torture my soul with piercing eyes and sharp tongues
Time is a beautiful thing
Time is on my side, yes, it is!!!
So I sit and wait patiently
But my patience is running thin
