Everything Unsaid

Everything Unsaid - Joshua Hyslop

For everything unsaid

There is a flourish of my pride

It is deep and dark and wide

I can't tell the weeds from vines

But if I had the strength

I'd move the mountains in my mind

But it's taking all my time

Just to start to realize

That I'm not the man I hoped to be

And though I'm not alone

I still feel so lonely

Come Monday I've forgotton

All those promises you said

All your holy words in red

Reaped in guilt and golden thread

And if I had the strength to be

Who others say I am

I wouldn't look into my eyes

See the shadow of a man

Well I'm not who they say I've become

For I know the things I've said

Won't compare with what I've done

No no oh no

Now all of these monstrosities

Choices I have made

Will not go away

I've made my bed and here I lay

But is there still forgiveness

If we know what we have done

Words every single one

Respect will write in the song

Well it's not just the day

That meets the night

Seems to me it's in the darkness

We can finally see the light

Oh oh oh oh
