Capital gains where no love remains Welcome to the street Innocence withstanding life’s pains Life seeks out defeat Old souls born to young men to carry The weight of hate Lifeless bodies amassed in crack houses Death won’t wait A state of emergency is a nightly feat Selling your soul to shine Smiles mask the cycle of dysfunction Trying to hold what’s mine Hold the truth; hold a lie, anything at all Faith is all I contain Steal our hearts but not our minds light All that can remain Wailing sirens mimic the angel’s tears Crying into the night A gun’s cold embrace lacks regret once more No bullet can you fight Babies aware of darkness before their time Hopelessness abound Needle tracks and broken glass pipes Blindness is found In love with a the stench of it all, I stay Can’t leave just yet I want to pour out my soul and spread light Held to my regret

My Regret
Capital gains where no love remains Welcome to the street Innocence withstanding life’s pains Life seeks out defeat Old souls born to young men to carry The weight of hate Lifeless bodies amassed in crack houses Death won’t wait A state of emergency is a nightly feat Selling your soul to shine Smiles mask the cycle of dysfunction Trying to hold what’s mine Hold the truth; hold a lie, anything at all Faith is all I contain Steal our hearts but not our minds light All that can remain Wailing sirens mimic the angel’s tears Crying into the night A gun’s cold embrace lacks regret once more No bullet can you fight Babies aware of darkness before their time Hopelessness abound Needle tracks and broken glass pipes Blindness is found In love with a the stench of it all, I stay Can’t leave just yet I want to pour out my soul and spread light Held to my regret
The only thing I would regret is leaving it all behind to find a more peaceful life...Unable to find the resolve in my selfishness, I stay in the hope of spreading the light that heals broken souls...God's light, for his glory, for his peace and for his love....
