LYRICS

I watch the clock hands go by, time after time.
I dream of leaving this place.
If I could leave the past behind then I would just fade away... Cease to exist.
It would cleanse all my pain.
It's a shame that I ever lived.

The devil on my shoulder whispers to me, and dribbles such a never ending cacophony into my ears, to blind the joy that tries to reach out to me.

Such a dulcet suffering, why can't anyone see?

Penance - A lesson in misery.

You will study my rise as you watched my fall.
I wrote my love in the cracks of the cracks of the wall.
You'll read that "dying in vain was as good as it looked" in a forget-me-not written in the spine of a book.

I wasted my time falling in love with the thought of falling in love with someone.
Am I killing time, or killing myself? I think I'm killing myself, sometimes.

Penance - A lesson in misery.

You will study my rise as you watched my fall.
I wrote my love in the cracks of the cracks of the wall.
You'll read that "dying in vain was as good as it looked" in a forget-me-not written in the spine of a book.

I could never grow trees.
Still, I planted my seeds.
Sadly, you will see, eternal sunshine won't blossom me.

I am enough to feel happiness and love.
It's hard to say out loud, "I deserve to be happy now".

I deserve to be happy now.
