Ballad for my soul Lyrics

Hope that I dont spend the rest of my life

Coaxin' that anger and fear

Worshipin' idols that hide behind my eyes

Like artists who tortured their ears

And the souls I relate too died so long ago

most of them wont be born yet for years

And the stories I tell wont develop my growth

But immortalize me like Shakespeare

Medals and badges of honor all rust

And the men who adorn them will all fade to dust

But you

Want it all

On your own

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go

Hope that I don't spend the rest of this path

Chasin' a dream that's long dead

Tryin' to keep up with a me from my past

But he always outruns me instead

And I've tried and I've tried

To devote all my soul to the ways of the church but can't see

The more that I learn oh the less that I know

The only god I've met is me

Where will you go when this all fades away

Back to your corner to hide

Conceited and coated in all kinds of pain

You'll carry it all of your life

All your life

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go

Just a ballad for my soul

Just a ballad til' I go
