So strip away all of my shadows
And light me up brighter than the sun
My hands are stong from building these gallows
Many will be left hanging before my time here is done
Before my time is done
Before my time is done

Well I could show you no merciful side again
I could just hold you, wouldn't that be nice?
One thing I know by now is that in the end
You can never swim in the same river twice

Try and you're wasting your time
Oh, I don't know why god made me this way
(And I'm so sorry)
I don't know how much more I can take
(And I'm so sorry)
You know it's always my mistake
(And I'm so sorry)
And I'll be sorry when I break you

So take me high, fly me over the mountains
Cry of the raven and the scream of the dove
And I'll be gone on the wings of the eagles
High road behind me, left everything that I loved
All of the things I loved
Oh I don't know why god made me this way
(And I'm so sorry)
I don't know how much more I can take
(And I'm so sorry)
You know it's always my mistake
(And I'm so sorry)
And I'll be sorry when I see that you're gone
Gone away
Like a god gone astray
Not a word
Will be spoken
Of how it broke me when I saw you broken
Broken
Broken
When I broke you

Want it all but Can't pay the bill
Just staring out my little window sill
My companion, one colorful pill
Nobody cares about what they can't kill
