Absolved

I've had battles lost

And battles won

On the battlefield I'm the only one

This war of mine

These combat stripes

Earned from the war inside my mind

And though it broke me

It only woke me

I was one of a kind

Identified all the reasons why

This past of mine is justified

Mistakes I've made

Prices paid

Never going back to that lifeless cage

Paid the highest price

For different lives

Embraced my guilt subdued my pride

I blame no one but my hands alone

I'm the architect of the damage done

And though it broke me

It only woke me

I was one of a kind

Identified all the reasons why

This past of mine is justified

Mistakes I've made

Prices paid

Never going back to that lifeless cage

I'm not fighting you

I'm not fighting me

I'm only fighting

What could have been

And I, and I, and I'm winning

And I, and I, and I'm winning

And though it broke me

It only woke me

I was one of a kind

Identified all the reasons why

This past of mine is justified

Mistakes I've made

Prices paid

Never going back to that lifeless cage

Identified all the reasons why

This past of mine is justified

Mistakes I've made

Prices paid

Never going back to that lifeless cage
