forgive me if i`ve been
confused between the means and end
i forgot to be a brother and a friend
covered up inside
sometimes it`s harder to know
i have failed at this scenario
my faults do run deep
your mercies do run deeper
so i knelt tonight
and felt that in somebody`s mind
there`s a memory of a balance met
but i left less than sublime
there`s no credit line
no net worth to show
i can pay for this scenario
deepest apologies and sincere regret
for carrying this debt
this scenario returns me to where i began
losing what was mine and finding out
a shortcut is a sin.
