With lies and excuses
I convinced myself not to try
I just did what was easy
I know it's not right
I did not fight
I just tried to hide
The truth I'm ignored and denied and despised
I turned my back to the light
Now I see the gift that I had to die
Before I could follow the path
The path of the righteous man
The righteous man
The mistakes that I made
They were always the same
Now I know that was just insane
There is no passion inside this lie
Cowards always run
They run from the fight and the challenge of life
For them to give up again
Scared of the truth and the pain they must face
Before they can swallow the path
The path of the righteous man
The righteous man
I resented everyone else, and
I blamed them for the problems I had
I did not see that
I did this to myself
Now I will follow the path
The path of the righteous man
The righteous man
The righteous man
