The Monster you now see...

 

“I’ve lost all the time that I have in this world

I spent it unwisely, unwisely I say

And I can’t get it back and I can’t move forward

I’m broken, I’m empty, it’s over for me.

 

If I could undo all the wrongs that I’ve caused

Fall to my knees, pray for Swiftness and Just

For I’m just a fool, a fool driven to dust

And the world ain’t gonna change for me.

 

So gimme one more chance to prove these problems and frustrations

Aren’t just manifested memories were destined to repeat

A second chance to prove, I know right from wrong

I swear I’ll do things different

But can’t promise to be strong

 

So come all you losers, you Bastards and cheats,

You vagrants and barflies down on the streets

 

This path to salvation, vindication awaits,

We’re marching on East Broadway Street, tonight!

 

If you could look into this old face,

And try to see the young man,

I swear I once was pretty,

Not the monster you now see.

But, I’ve squandered all my chances

Lost my faith

And took for granted, this life and precious one chance

The Whirlwind I’ll reap.”
