with an unshut mind and a wondering soul

when I'm at the gates

I wanna say it was my life it was my life

with decaying shoes and the holes in my clothes

when I'm at the gates

I wanna say it was my life it was my life

with the drug sweat nights and the loss of control

when I'm at the gates

I wanna say it was my life it was my life

with all the good and the bad in my soul

when I'm at the gates I wanna say

it was my life it was my life

 

what's inside of me I can offer up

it's not tangible but it's what I got

and you can have the key to the whole lot

and I will pour it out before I'm gone

and if no one ever cares and it ends up lost

at least I bled it out for my own

so you can have the key to the whole lot

and I will pour it out before I'm gone

 

what I leave behind before I die
