Provision Lyrics

You give us dreams to wake us up, you say,
"Take pride in the provision."
When all we see is the face of defeat, you say,
"Take pride in the provision."
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e109114-august_burns_red~provision_lyrics.html ]
My future's finally found me, figured me out.
It's painful, it's tough, I never saw it coming.
Come as it may, cause life is a lesson
I'd rather learn than end up in a cold covered up dark grave.

These are the words of a man who finally let go.
These are the goals of a man who's laid it all down.

Losing it all made me realize I am the victim,
The culprit, the casualty, and the cause.
Losing it all led me to you (to you)
Losing it all led me to you.

I'm sick, I need sight, I need help,
I need you, and I'm not getting any better.

I am the deceiver.
I'm not getting any better.
I'm the thief, the whore, the murderer.

It's times like these, it's times like these
You forget to remember who you are.
The way up is down, truth is found
When life throws you out and kicks you to the curb.
I'm just as much the problem as the man behind bars.
He did with his business what I do in my heart.

You wronged me, you crossed me, I'll never let it ruin me.
Lessons are learned deep down within my heart.
In my heart.

The worst men make the best stories come true.
The past is a part of me, but not who I am.
I realize my identity is not in what I've seen
But in what I believe to be true.

I know what I need now.
I know what I need.
All that was lost is not lost.
Even the worst of mankind can't disrupt sovereignty.

You've given me the nightmare to wake me up, you say,
"Take pride in the provision."
You've given me more than enough, you say,
"Take pride in the provision."
