Empty Handed lyrics

I saw time fly by through my tarnished eyes
How did I come up so much shorter
I felt it slip away from me
But time is lost on those who falter

I know I can't hide for much longer
But how do I explain my choices
Cos when it came down to me and you
I just bit off way more than I could chew

I can't just feign my own absence
Surrounded by serpents eyes
I sift through the mist
And I question where my faith lies

On my knees outside the gates
But it took me too long to too restore my faith
I was always doomed once I fell from grace

Mislay built on my reputation
I was always the black sheep
Is this what it came to?
There's just so much more sh*t that you never f*ckin knew

Swallowed me whole
Sick of hearing the 'same old sh*t'
Between me and you I was stranded
I guess I come up empty handed
