David Alan Roberts - Brought to My Knees Lyrics

What kind of world did I befriend
Where climbing up is to descend
And those who win end up so low
Because the seeds we plant won't grow
How did I become so blind
The enchantment is gone, but I'm riding its wave
Even though I've seen right through it
The illusion of strength, my character lie
Which keeps me chained up to it
I was looking for life, but I was looking away
I was enamored by the decay
I have been brought to my knees
The thin facades projected as real
Insanity with a strange appeal
The vacuum inside is covered up
As I hope the lie will be enough
How did I become so blind
The enchantment is gone, but I'm riding its wave
Even though I've seen right through it
The illusion of strength, my character lie
Which keeps me chained up to it
I was looking for life, but I was looking away
I was enamored by the decay
I have been brought to my knees
The script that we have all been sold
Is leaving our hearts hard and cold
The rage within begins to show
As the toxic rancor begins to flow
And here I stand up against the tragic cul-de-sac
Once again, faced with the fullness of my lack
I'm on my knees, trusting the one place I can stay
Let go the dream, and let the fire burn it all away
When the smoke finally clears
Something new can appear
In the ashes of my dream
Is a way to be redeemed
