lyrics

Mea culpa

Is it better to be guilty in the eyes of men
Than in the eyes of God?
Will the bile eventually rise again because it's my fault?
My Fault

The loss
The cost
The dreams
That follow my fault
The loss
The cost
The fear
Of running from my thoughts

I don't know what's gone wrong
But I know it's my fault

Dreams are free
Dreams are mine
What makes this a nightmare depends on where I draw
The line
Where I draw the line

I sit with this guilt in my gut
So I will take the blame
You can't see with your eyes shut
But I imagine you can feel my shame

My back is broken
My spirit is the same
Crippled carrying the weight of this
From shouldering the blame.

I don't know what's gone wrong
But I know it's my fault

Dreams are free
Dreams are mine
What makes this a nightmare depends on where I draw
The line
Where I draw the line

Repentant tears
Repentant tears wash out the stain
Repentant tears wash out the stain of guilt
I pray for your forgiveness
Absorbing the feelings of inadequacy
This blame is my weakness
All I hold into my heart
Becomes my fault
I'm blind to the cause of the wrong turn
Mea culpa.

Mea culpa
Mea culpa iterum

My blame
Becomes my shame

I don't know what's gone wrong
But I know it's my fault

Dreams are free
Dreams are mine
What makes this a nightmare depends on where I draw
The line
Where I draw the line

Dreams are free
Dreams are mine
The nightmare is only
A fragment of my mind

Just a crack in time
