Penance

Penance
(Verse 1)
I’ve walked down this road with my hands stained red
Carried the weight of the words I never said
Tried to outrun the ghosts in my past
But they’ve been chasing me, and they’re catching up fast
(Pre-Chorus)
I can’t undo the things I’ve done
The damage is there, and I can’t outrun
(Chorus)
This is my penance, my price to pay
For all the mistakes I made along the way
I can’t erase the hurt I caused
I’m standing in the fire, feeling the loss
This is my penance, I face the truth
Karma’s coming back for the wrongs I used to do
(Verse 2)
I’ve begged for forgiveness, but the scars still remain
The consequences of love, of lies, of pain
Every step I take feels like I’m sinking low
But the only way out is to let it all show
(Pre-Chorus)
I thought I could hide, thought I could flee
But now I see the price of all my selfish deeds
(Chorus)
This is my penance, my price to pay
For all the mistakes I made along the way
I can’t erase the hurt I caused
I’m standing in the fire, feeling the loss
This is my penance, I face the truth
Karma’s coming back for the wrongs I used to do
(Bridge)
It’s a heavy burden, one I can’t escape
A debt to be paid for the chances I didn’t take
I’m learning the hard way, the price of the past
And I’m paying it forward, hoping it won’t last
(Chorus)
This is my penance, my price to pay
For all the mistakes I made along the way
I can’t erase the hurt I caused
I’m standing in the fire, feeling the loss
This is my penance, I face the truth
Karma’s coming back for the wrongs I used to do
(Outro)
I’ll carry the weight, but I’ll find my peace
Maybe one day, the burden will cease.
