Failed Effort

 

You're the one who saved my soul

You took me out of my private hole

You opened me up to the world

So much fake happiness unfurled

 

I took it up, I soaked it in

No more sorrow or deadly sin

I left the darkness of the dreary night

I tried so hard for your world of light

 

I was tired of pain and all my sadness

I wanted to leave my world of madness

You gave me a chance to get away

I took it and it lasted until today

 

Now I'm back to where I started

Back to the pain of all the departed

Back to the misery I once lived in

Back to my sorrow, back to my sin
