well you can keep your own disgrace
existing destitute
forlorn and absolute

and some would say right to your face
that you're a prostitute
but you ain't no prostitute

an ultimatum delivered
two souls shackled and shivered
forced to bond beyond the sands of time

a patched but broken heart
two worlds both falling apart
why did you let the rhythm lose its rhyme this time
----------------------------------------------------------
a man so full of love and hate
fighting existence
no self-susistance

the world seems cold and so irate
he reaches out still
to give his goodwill

neglect the bodily self
forsaking personal health
he fills the world with love at self-expense

but with no selfish greed
how can one meet one's own needs
ignoring human nature makes no sense
----------------------------------------------------------
and the sands of time flow on
and all the people who care will soon be gone
----------------------------------------------------------
and some will say
that you're a failure
but you ain't no failure

and some will say
that you're abandoned and alone
and while that may be somewhat true
just know that i am always here for you
----------------------------------------------------------
disillusioned and dejected now
you're beat and broken down
inside this trainwreck town

i pick you up without a sound
and bring you back again
to this world of hate and sin

and everyone that i've found
buried and sunk in the ground
i grasp and tear right up and out of the soil

each life improved is a brief
respite from heartbreak and grief
we're all entangled in this mortal coil
----------------------------------------------------------
and the sands of time flow on
and all the people who care will soon be gone
----------------------------------------------------------
and some will say
that you're a failure
but you ain't no failure

and some will say
that you're abandoned and alone
and while that may be somewhat true
just know that i am always here for you
----------------------------------------------------------
the rain falls on my face
can't save this hopeless case
and to my bloodline i'm just one disgrace, erased!

but i decide my own life through
my actions, and you do too!
i help whoever i can and right now i choose you!
----------------------------------------------------------
and some will say
that you're a failure
but you ain't no failure

and some will say
that you're abandoned and alone
and while that may be somewhat true
just know that i am coming back for you...
----------------------------------------------------------
a girl who can't say no
a man who's raring to go
a savior born and raised in blasphemy

a man with strength of a bear
lost deep within his own hair
self-labeled hopeless without destiny

a child stuck here in time
a grown man trapped in her mind
caught gambling life and love against the natural keel

cementing romantic ties
angels in earthly disguise
you're never quite near as alone as how you feel!
