Self-Righteousness Got the Best of Me

And just the other night
I thought I was the hero, the redeemer
The one to keep everyone alive
I told myself that it was their decision
And that it was for my own better being
To not care
To not be there
To not support

How could I be right when I never was?
Shards of my body, laying there
Where the cold of the wrong consumed
Sacrifice does not concern me
I can't be the scapegoat
Not when the meaning of it is a blur
It only creates a war in me
But at the frontline
Where everything fades
Nothing should die except me

I find my inner being
I re-discover what it means
This path should never be a list
What comes next, I shouldn't know
I'll walk with my hope, my song
Stuck in my head, I'll scream for time
Grab the rain, taste the wind
Walk on water, stop the storms
Become a miracle

When I re-find who I've become
And rid myself of who I was
What I'll never look back at
My age-old reflection
When I see who I really am
In a mirror where I'll lose myself
The lost will be found
The broken will be whole
And what's left of my pieces
Will become an offering
