My Crime

The peak holds so much promise

So I climb in search of gold

There's a fog in the mountain's saddle

And the river's always cold

 

The wind cuts like a razor

It's a steep and sharp decline

When the fire's turned to embers

And the sun's too hard to find

 

I went searching through the pines

I went trying to clear my mind

That's when I met my shadow

And my curse became my crime

 

If passion makes a rich man

Well I never made a dime

Not a cent or silver dollar

For all my wasted time

 

Gotta get out of these four walls

Leave my life up on the shelf

I'll keep hunting all my monsters

And point the lens back on myself

 

I went searching through the pines

I went trying to clear my mind

That's when I met my shadow

And my curse became my crime

 

Half way up or half way down?

The fall don't hurt til you hit the ground

 

I went searching through the pines

I went trying to clear my mind

That's when I met my shadow

And my curse became my crime

 

I went searching through the pines

I went trying to clear my mind

That's when I met my shadow

And my curse became my crime
