Lyrics

Today the sun burned away at my face and I just let it burn
Another angel turned her back on me
She folded her wings and hung her head
God you gave me this heart but I was wondering if I could trade it in
I wail and I weep for I can not sleep for I stare at the ghosts of my own design

Driving past the quiet steeples in the night
I harbor these tears in my eyes
She thinks she is hearing sounds in the night and I am fighting just to sleep
And I wail and I weep

The bells will ring in the steeple in the morning
And I'm just now trying to find myself
Singing the words to create acceptance were never my good intentions
And now I've only a house full of regrets

Shatter the glass of my eye
And I will come to see this blinding darkness
And I've lost sight of all that is real
For I sit here alone. I write a novel of my own
And there are no happy endings in this tradgedy

The bells will ring in the steeple in the morning
And I'm just now trying to find myself
Singing the words to create acceptance were never my good intentions
And now I've only a house full of regrets

Sometimes I am almost content in my sorrow
My ship is sailing to the seas
So wave and blow your kisses
Cause I'm not sure I'll be home anytime soon

I've set out to fail the world
I've set out to fail myself
I will dream the dreamers lie that everything is okay
When everything isn't okay

He says my burden is also his but I don't want to put this on him
Stare up at steeples lost in the night. I find myself so lost on the inside

And now I've only a house full of regrets
And as the wind blows it takes with it all the memories
And as the breeze blows I turn my eyes to the skies and hope for hope
That this will soon come to pass
