letra de the price for innocence - scott reynolds
oh, the sky has fallen
it’s lying at my feet, and i don’t want to know
which part of “why?” is mine to own
i dealt myself a loser’s hand
then i bluffed and went all in
no caution, no retreat
big-time to busted flat until i wandered home alone
all the dreams, the wild extremes
and now it seems that i’m at it again
i’m a slave, a god, the most authentic fraud
flawlessly flawed
never “now,” always “when?”
so what’s next from here?
maybe a brand new career?
can this year begin again?
what if i told you i was wrong and i knew it all along
you’re right, my songs are as useless as me
and your pains and your aches
are the fruits of my mistakes
let-downs, heartbreaks
all my fault, i’ll agree
what would happen then?
could we ever be friends?
not sweethearts, just not mad
is it worth a try, or is the price just too high?
i’m no good, but am i that bad?
(and, see, this is why i believe… well, why i have to believe that redemption is a real, possible thing. because if it isn’t, then regret is relentless, and forever… and f-ck that.)
it’s too hard to live if i’ve got nothing to give
that isn’t recompense
what penance, then
will leave me blameless again?
what’s the price for innocence?
because oh, the sky has fallen
it’s lying at my feet, and i don’t want to know
which part of “why?” is mine to own
i dealt myself a loser’s hand
then i bluffed and went all in
no caution, no retreat
big-time to busted flat until i wandered home alone
(all alone)
so now, what happens now?
when i don’t know how
i can scrub out the stain
there’s no soap, no bleach
no deep regretful speech
no words can reach in and pull out the pain
but i’ve heard it said that we just drift ’til we’re dead
that free will is a desperate myth
and if that’s true, then we can’t help what we do
we can’t help who we do it with
so i’ll ask again: could we ever be friends?
not sweethearts, just not mad
is it worth a try, or is the price just too high?
i’m no good, but am i that bad?
’cause it’s too hard to live if i’ve got nothing to give
that isn’t recompense
what penance, then
will leave me blameless again?
what’s the price for innocence?
