Grace

Grace is sometimes hard to find
race from one side to another frame of mind
how long can you go before you lose it all
bow down before the future and watch them fall
linger on in this house of shame
finger pointing out whose to blame
I don't know how it came to this
cry all night for something i'm gonna miss
take a few steps tip the bottle for all your friends
break a few rules to get by with certain means and ends
can't stand to lose it all once again
rant about the wrongs between the lines that start to bend
to have died that night never thought it could ever last
few men live on to regret all things done wrong in the past
grace saves too few in the trenches of war
place your memories in a jar to put on the floor
be back when i have something to say
see her now and i know she can't ever stay
