My Own Sacrifice

See the clouds divide
Remove myself from sight
Times I’ve fallen
Into pools of remorse
Dark sandy beaches
Thorns hurt my side
I realize my own sacrifice

No gun to play with
No bullets flying around

Not done to me
As I stand my ground

A sea of twisted shapes
White lines between them
The waves of passion
Collide in the stars
A dark and twisted tale
Of halves and of wholes
I realize my own sacrifice

As I reach my target
I back down again
For this is my playground
For sinners and saints

Lay down my face
Surrender heart and soul
Glide down the pathway
To a certain fall
No fear to enter
Just to end it all
I realize my own sacrifice
