i carry my sins
like I carry a
bag of gold
i live my life
like the stories
i've been told
i used to believe
in it all for a time
now that i have it all
it's not really mine
i carry my debts
like a leper
on the street
it may not bring you hope
but it brought me
some peace
i wash all of it down
your lies and your hell
now that it's all that you've got
it's all that you'll sell
all the silver you gave
i gave away
i never had a choice
in what i would say
now your time has come
and mine is gone
i'm the loss of faith
that you'll pass along.
