He`s lived for years running away
Too scared to touch the pain
He lets his life slip down his throat
He`s racked by guilt and shame.
He floats along with tides of trouble
Everything`s too strong
Once more he knows he got it wrong.
So he waits
He`s judge and jury over his crime
He`s the worst offender
His aim single purpose nothing will bring justice
Let him live it again.
His enemy is he inside
The one who cracks the whip
His wife and children closed the door
They left his sinking ship.
No nothing dies that is remembered
Nothing goes away
He knows the pain is here to stay.
His ghosts and shadows fears and doubts
A never-ending same
He let them go he didn`t fight
He has to take the blame.
He floats along with tides of trouble
Everything`s too strong
Once more he knows he got it wrong.
