Scarlet Tree

I'm about as numb as it gets with my misdirected truths
How easily my mind does forget when I'm pouring out my youth

But I take a little time when I'm out of line
To think of things I know are mine
And down the abyss of endless thoughts I fall
Yet I only come home when I'm all alone in the darkness of night
And it's good to know that I'm never alone in the foolishness of spite
In courtyards of the trite and with the deacons of the right

And in the shadows of your light
I reach my hands out from the flesh I fight
To annul myself from the bonds of might

I'm about as slow as they come and your prodding's so misconstrued
I go off touting my union gun but my bullets go unused

But I take a little time when I'm out of line
To think of things I know are mine
And down the abyss of endless thoughts I fall
Yet I only come home when I'm all alone in the darkness of night
And it's good to know that I'm never alone in the foolishness of spite
In courtyards of the trite and with the deacons of the right

And in the shadows of your light
I reach my hands out from the flesh I fight
To annul myself from the bonds of might

I don't really know what I'm doing the best that I can
And I'm the only one that I'm fooling with this foolproof plan

And in the shadows of your light
I reach my hands out from the flesh I fight
To annul myself from the bonds of might
