The Man I Was
Closed my eyes
Enough to know
You don’t have to see it
For it to be shown
Closed my heart
Enough when it hurts
No glory when shutting down
But sometimes it works
The longer I wait
The further it goes
Can’t seem to free myself from
The man I was once before
The lie is in the telling
Sometimes unto ourselves
Looking away to others
The coward always shepherds the soul
The judgements we make
The futility of the self
We bleed in our memoirs
Put it back on the shelf
The longer I wait
The further it goes
Can’t seem to free myself from
The man I was once before
Closed my eyes
Enough to know
You don’t have to see it
For it to be shown
Closed my heart
Enough when it hurts
No glory when shutting down
But sometimes it works
We face the truth
When we find a way
We heal in grace
When the toll is paid
The longer I wait
The further it goes
Can’t seem to free myself from
The man I was once before
