Description staring in the face
laughing back at me
I wonder if they know
if they'll ever know
what it's like to be
the second generation
of nothing

no matter how hard i tried
i seem to always be denied
never wanted to be like him
always tried to beat his sins
but the darkness comes for me
comes reaching from within

the coldness calms me
a healing balm to my soul
God I hope my children understand
understand why i had to go
and leave them all alone
I was already alone

no matter how hard i tried
I never let them see me cry
never wanted to be like him
always tried to beat his sins
but the darkness comes for me again
comes reaching from within

I've gone too far now
too far to go back
not that I'd want to anyway
so I'll just venture forward
after the bastard that made me
the ties that bind hold fast
making this journey my very last

doesn't matter how hard i tried
I ended up by his side
never wanted to be like him
always tried to beat his sins
but the darkness comes for me
comes reaching for the last time
from within

I read this yesterday and I absolutely loved it. I read it in my head and ended up coming up with something on the guitar for for the chorus, but I my interpretation of the tempo might be different. Its fingerpicked, but let me know who the temp goes if you want to hear it.

lenna...this is excellent...i didn't really get to tell you at lunch but it's very good. i want to play it! i really love the feeling this provokes, and it flows very well as a song.

no...the group that had it (according to kristen) thought it was too "deep". ..

kinda like yours! hehe.
