Calvary - STATEN

You threw color on all of my walls

but forgive me if I still see

black and white.

The shades of my room

fading now,

I make myself blind.

You’re my favorite song

to sing when I’m alone

or when I’m in front of everyone.

Can’t I be proud of the one thing

I didn’t let go?

When will I feel proud of myself?

I bear my failures like a cross on my back.

When will I feel proud again?

Calvary’s calling me towards the end.

Oh my, you forgot the palms

when I came back home.

It’s alright, you didn’t know

I’d be returning so soon,

you hoped I’d stay.

I thought I’d see my brothers

with open hearts,

now they’re the marks

that design my arms.

Someone please tell me

what I did wrong.

All I want is quiet, now.

What makes me think I deserve that crown?

When will I feel proud again?

Calvary’s calling me towards my end.
