There have been times throughout my life
  When I fell so far
  I thought I'd never stand again
  I watched my dreams depart
  
  These aberrations had their place
  In the grand design
  But it's unnatural to feel
  So bitter and resigned
  
  CH
  Forgive me my mistakes
  I'm only human
  I bleed just like you
  From time to time
  So why can't I convince you
  I'll be fine?
  
  Ignore the writing on the wall
  It just decorates
  A place that I have lived so long:
  Delusion's vast estates
  
  There's nothing sinister at all
  Gnawing at my soul
  But these confessions that I give
  Help me feel in control
  
  (CH)
  
  No absolution comes for free
  And it never will
  And those among us without sin
  Are even rarer still
  
  If imperfection is the lens
  That you see me through
  Don't be surprised if someday soon
  That lens stares back at you
  
  (CH)
