Guilty Hands - Nine Lashes

I’ve watched you wander about

With nowhere to go but down

Or back to beginnings

I never wanted you out

To follow the broken path

Down to your ending

Guilty hands have paved the way

To emptiness

So tell me

Why do you run?

Why are you hiding?

The guilt will know where to find you

Lay down your guns

What are you fighting?

Is my name not forgiveness?

I see you withering now

A stubborn little broken man

So lost and alone

I wish that I could amend

The heart of my fading friend

But you would rather have it your way

Guilty hands have paved the way

To emptiness

So tell me

Why do you run?

Why are you hiding?

The guilt will know where to find you

Lay down your guns

What are you fighting?

Is my name not forgiveness?

Would you swallow your pride

And let me erase your stains

You run and you hide

But the darkness will have it’s way

I never wanted you to find your end

So

Why do you run?

Why are you hiding?

The guilt will know where to find you

Lay down your guns

What are you fighting?

Is my name not forgiveness?

(What are you fighting?)

(What are you fighting?)

(What are you fighting?)
