Lyrics
2 parts penance, 1 loss of soul
I counted up my sins today
It nearly took me all the day
I counted some in twos and threes
Wishing one might set me free
I tried to find my dreams today
But they could not be found
I tired to breathe new life today
No oxygen was found
(chorus)
My life has changed so many ways
Temptations take their toll
I'm stuck inside an endless trance
Two parts penance, one loss of soul
Two parts penance, one loss of soul
I counted up my sins today
And spread them in the sand
Scrubbed them carefully on the rocks
Washed each one by hand
Who's dreams are these? I do not know
I found them on my walk today
Who's demons look the other way
I need some room to breathe today
(repeat chorus)
My life has changed so many ways
Temptations take their toll
I'm stuck inside an endless trance
Two parts penance, one loss of soul
Two parts penance, one loss of soul
(bridge)
I can't lose hope
It lights my soul
Love lights the way
Make my life whole
What seemed OK what numbed the pain
What drowned my sorrows fast
Abruptly fell into the sea
With such a mighty crash
(repeat chorus)
My life has changed so many ways
Temptations take their toll
I'm stuck inside an endless trance
Two parts penance, one loss of soul
Two parts penance, one loss of soul
