Broken by the Distance

I'm always revising, just a failed manuscript
I've taken more than my share, I've taken all that's left
I've sacrificed everything just to gain this success
But I realize my station coming here again

I can't even lift my eyes
Sorrow fills the silence
I beat my chest in remorse
I'm broken by the distance

I betrayed my own people, I'm hated by most
I know that I've cheated you, it chills me to my bones
Where is the profit if I forfeit my soul?
May you be merciful so I can be made whole

I can't even lift my eyes
Sorrow fills the silence
I beat my chest in remorse
I'm broken by the distance

Outside your temple I am keenly aware
Of all the lies I live in this vanity fair
There's nothing I've done to claim my stake in
I'm utterly desperate to be absolved of my sin

I can't even lift my eyes
Sorrow fills the silence
I beat my chest in remorse
I'm broken by the distance
