Benefit of the Doubt - Downpresser

In the eyes of the pure I see the other side

Refused to hide my pride, I laid it on the line

Now I’m faced with what I couldn’t embrace

Too little too late, nothing but a sour taste

I said my prayers to god, so he answered me

Gave me what I wanted, not what I needed

Turned away from the light, every day’s darker

With each line I write, the heart grows harder

So what do I do

With the promises I made

So what do I do

Do I shine or do I fade?

So what do I do

In my ways I’m set

Wait and see what I do

I’m not finished yet

Trust in no one and no one will trust in you

Failed the test

Tried, not fucking true

Locked up in four chambers till the blood runs out

Bound and gagged with your foot in your mouth

Smoke it down to the filter

Like a slap in the face

It’s been a long time coming

Gone without a trace

I know the night is young

But I feel so old

Cold air fills my lungs

I’m almost home

So what do I do

With the promises I made

So what do I do

Do I shine or do I fade?

So what do I do

In my ways I’m set

Wait and see what I do

I’m not finished yet

Benefit of the doubt, you sold me out

Enemy of my enemy, sight unseen

No use coming clean

Unsuspected, standing corrected

Disbelief suspended
