wallowing

ClutchTheDawn

sitting on the edge of my faith
and blaming every story on fate
offers up an easy escape
from you

walking in the shadow of truth
serving every ready excuse
for every ever-ready abuse
I choose

turn my face against the wind
face the music once again
every time that I give in
blame the world I’m living in
but I am not the only one
wallowing in what I've done
I’m not the only one

take another sip of the past
keeping on the same old task
of staying near the back of the class
again

never learned a lesson from loss
a wink and a nod at the boss
and multiply the failure by cost
my friend

turn my face against the wind
face the music once again
every time that I give in
blame the world I’m living in
but I am not the only one
wallowing in what I've done
I’m not the only one
