Turn away while I dive off the deep end Indulging the urges that have stripped my defences I'm bare I'm a shade of a man A vagabond fed by the blood on his hands So leave Take the high road out Burn the ladder that lifts me from the spectres' shroud I hear their voices like they're my own Deafening echoes as I live to atone You've always been A beacon out of reach The light grows dim And memories besiege Please spirit the past away Shards of my soul dissolve and fade I'm coming to after drifting in dreams Guilt leaves me torn at the seams You've always been The light that's guiding me You cleanse my sin Absolve and set me free
