Absent Minded

Whispers inside of the arson

I want my guilt to consume me
i want to die knowing i felt it
and that i cared with my whole heart
I want this burden on my shoulders
I carry around to be lifted
but I'm sure I'll be reminded in the after life

I wish it didn't turn out this way
I wish things have could have been better
Sometimes when I'm lonely I remind myself
of that day
and I'm humbled
by the demons
who took me down this road that I'm on now.

I'm glad i apologized to your face
but i wish i was man enough to cry
it still haunts me to this very day
all the confusion back then
that rules my life that i know of today

Not much has changed
i grew to be broken
i was broken then
but you couldn't help me
like you wanted to
you beautiful soul
i grew to be hopeless
the hope i had back then
is now just a scar
you were my angel
sent to guide me
and the whispers
made me light your house on fire.
