I took the short cut
And all I got was cut short.
You see,
The clear path began to distort.
Straight lines became blurred
Yeah all my words started to slur.
Treasure is what I seek
But what I got in return was bleak
Thoughts became violent
and,
relationships silent…
alone…
No true home…
The seed had been sewn,
but the roots didn’t take.
Darkness abides in the short cut
I can’t see,
yeah, what a mess up
Sink deeper and deeper
Medicate the pain
One with the darkness.
Can I sleep forever?
…
…
Awake again,
But why?
I thought I removed myself.
Is this a sign?
All the pain rushes back in,
all the guilt on accounts of my sin
Forgive me…
Oh God Forgive me.
“Let go of the pain”
A life restored again
Sell my life for the true treasure
Yeah I give with pleasure
Fight for the good
protect what I have understood.
Till up my heart
Just like at the start.
A new season
Yeah no more treason.
You see,
I took the short cut
But never again will I get cut short
