roadblocks

I only learned my lesson during a confession

Someone said I’d learn when I was arrested

If you live a life of fear, dreams aren’t near

I handed him the cup so he drank my tears

Strangers in bed know what my tattoos said

The mark of a high that was already dead

Painters aren’t the same to heal the brain

She never could explain how it was the pain

So, I pray that I will stop at roadblocks

A time to remember that its not your fault

You’ll always be safe on your own watch

And you’ll finally say I was never caught

When it came, I didn’t know I was done

I still don’t believe that I’ve actually won
