Mark of Caine

Found myself in your mobile home
Wondering just where you had run
Guess that I'd been too far gone
Lost my phone and the kids ain't home

I beg for you to stay another day
Like the last time I got carried away
Depravity is still in our way
All I do is sit and pray

Just when you said
You'd be my saving grace
You ran away
And oh I chased the shame
With cocaine

I've been high for 10 years or so
They can't help me cause they don't know
Doctor says it's all got to go
But I'd have nothing left to show

Who forgives a sick man like me
Society doesn't want me free
I've been told to read a book to see
Then how the hell do you think I read

I need sober clarity
I can't do that if I can't be
A little high 'cause I can't breathe

You know you make me wanna quit
But now I'm in the thick of it
And I'm your only deficit

You're in my heart I'm in your brain
But how long can our love sustain
When I still bear The Mark of Cain

Just when you said
You'd be my saving grace
You ran away
And oh I chased the shame
With cocaine

Just when you said
That our lovin' was dead
You chose to stay
But I threw it away
With cocaine
