Road to Jericho...

If you want to know the truth
…and I'm not sure you're even asking…
It's that I was really jealous
…that you lived your whole life over-zealous

I can't live my life that way
…and I'm not sure I'd even want to…
Because sometimes you have to let down your walls
…to show the people who you are

If you're looking for an answer…
…at this point, we're past the question…
There are no words I can give to you…
…No syllables or songs…

There's no real reason why I lied to you
…or why you lied to me…
Then, why were we so angry…
…when we knew it wasn't meant to be?

I lost my bitterness long ago
Fell apart from me in ways I did not know
But the true sounds source from deep inside
Honest feelings I had to hide

So, if you're looking for protection
From the wrath of my rejection…
You have your guards along the walls…
…But your boundaries are swollen with a staph-infection

If you want to know the truth
…and I'm not sure you're even asking…
I regret all I ever gave to you…
…I regret giving all I had to give…

I regret my candor, my honesty
When all I got was a smile and a nod
Not much I can do about it now
It's all forgotten in a fog

The sun is shining
…It's a New Year rising…
Holiday's are over…
…but the new warmth keeps you colder…

If you want you hear my lasting thought…
…thought, I doubt you have the strength to listen…
Your past is no longer a part of me
Your future makes me laugh
For I know I hold integrity…
…beyond the world that you can see…
I can be anything I want to be…
…your world is tied to their indignity
