From grace I fell into the depths of hell

Down into the desolate valley of lost souls

Scratch the surface of me and you’ll find a failure

Failure in a sense that I’ve given up on a solution

Given up on hope

The white flag is flown above my head

Showing the world my embarrassment and demeaning spirit

I give up trying to understand or be understood

Trying to fix a broken system, being constantly destroyed by ignorance and poor planning

But I know time is on my side

How much? I have no clue

The time of others will run out

And no longer will they torture my soul with piercing eyes and sharp tongues

Time is a beautiful thing

Time is on my side, yes, it is!!!

So I sit and wait patiently

But my patience is running thin
