Prosper

What I want to say and I should say
Are not the same so I will wait
Hope and pray that the day comes
When fortune falls away
And you're left with honesty

Where were you when I needed you?
It doesn't even matter I just need the truth
Don't know how or why I expected you to come through

I know I don't belong here
Held captive to pride and my fear
Hate is written in blood and stone
A filthy bandage over my wounds
Despite the burdens that you bestow
I'll find the patience to let them go

The innocence left my eyes
Blissfully when I was blind
Now I see forests for trees, what we see is what we reap

Failure, I tasted something bitter but I will not spit fear
Nor will I stay here
Prosper, my wish for you is proper
All that it could be, just as it should be
