No excuses My search for truth has led me to believe There's nothing worth believing The steps I've taken I know keep shaking But at least I'm only deceiving me Been kissing ground, beaten down Wanting so much more Would question why I have suffered way too long So I don't feel the need to justify Fingers stepped on Grasping for rings I have been denied I will make them mine Beyond compassion While laughter burns my ears And solely my convictions are now to be my guide You don't see this, I won't apologize When I have eaten so many of your lies I speak, you don't hear Somethings out of place I sing, strong and clear Every breath a waste I scream, get nowhere Realize my mistakes Bewildered stares, half spoken prayers Neither slowing down The change that's come between No excuses, my search for truth has Led me to believe I'm not worth believing Rising from the ashes, leaving my heart frozen To what has come before Refusing to acknowledge what was once the given Forevermore
