I Carry The Blame

I've never felt the moment could shatter like a dream
But there's more to life than I thought I would ever see
I've aimed to reach perfection
A foolish game to play

Hell, I swear I did my best and, it crumbled anyway
This mortal life will bring you down to the ground
I've tried to reach the surface
But lost along the way

'Cause I know there's an ocean in between us
We fell apart
Only to unite as one again
In my heart I always thought I knew the way
Right from the start

With a prayer, in despair, I am calling out your name
Hurt and ever broken
In the cold, in the rain, I am bleeding all the same
I carry the blame

At the bottom of the darkness, where light can never reach
And there's nothing good, no nothing good could ever breach
I lie behind the curtain
Hiding in myself

I'm shutting down all feelings, numb in my cocoon
There's no one there, not anywhere under the Moon
Living like I'm dying
This wasteland is my fate

I'm stronger than I was before, hurt but never broken
Rising to get off the floor
There is something more
I'm stronger than I was before, hurt but never broken
Forgiveness is an open door
There is something more

With a prayer, in despair, I am calling out your name
Hurt but never broken
In the cold, in the rain, I am healing all the same
Leaving the blame
