01. 2 pts. penance - my 1st song Nov 2008 |
Lyrics2 parts penance, 1 loss of soulI counted up my sins today It nearly took me all the day I counted some in twos and threes Wishing one might set me free I tried to find my dreams today But they could not be found I tired to breathe new life today No oxygen was found (chorus) My life has changed so many ways Temptations take their toll I'm stuck inside an endless trance Two parts penance, one loss of soul Two parts penance, one loss of soul I counted up my sins today And spread them in the sand Scrubbed them carefully on the rocks Washed each one by hand Who's dreams are these? I do not know I found them on my walk today Who's demons look the other way I need some room to breathe today (repeat chorus) My life has changed so many ways Temptations take their toll I'm stuck inside an endless trance Two parts penance, one loss of soul Two parts penance, one loss of soul (bridge) I can't lose hope It lights my soul Love lights the way Make my life whole What seemed OK what numbed the pain What drowned my sorrows fast Abruptly fell into the sea With such a mighty crash (repeat chorus) My life has changed so many ways Temptations take their toll I'm stuck inside an endless trance Two parts penance, one loss of soul Two parts penance, one loss of soul |
