Remember Me As You LIke

The world spins, once more
And I end up upside down
I see the picture clearly now
But the meaning has been lost, along the way
Somehow we all end up here
In this place of no release
And when we finally leave here
We leave something of ourselves behind
At one point, or another
We all are broken people
We crawl on our hands and knees
Over the shards of what we've done
To get to something better
But there are no guarentees, here
Nothing is truly certain
And in times such as these
When I throw caution to the wind
I may indeed, lost it all
But without risk
I cannot gain
And without heartache
I would never appreciate bliss
If sometimes I love unjustly
I will not fault myself
Driven to this madness
By a hunger that remains unnamed
Forbidden by my forefathers
To walk along this path
I am striving to find solace
When none is offered
Forgive me for these wrongs
For they are not who I am
They are simply things
That I've done
I'm writhing in this indesicion
But, basking in this strange new light
Absolve me of these sins
Strip me of them
Until I'm clean
Remember me
As you like
But, know me as I am
