Killing Pride

from underwater by Through The Branches

lyrics

What if I had spoken with my own voice
What if I had just made my own choice
What if I had just ignored the noise
Life is not a destination
This is not a recitation
What if I could turn and start again

Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Lick my wounds
Can't kill my pride
But I try

I try

Scale another wall just to drop again
Better change my point of view
Flush all self pity, you self-indulgent baby
Now, don't you know
Your belly is full

But what if I could tower in your eyes
What if I could thunder in your sky
Take my place in history
Come along with me
Not gonna die wondering "what if I"

Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Bless my heart
And hope the pride
Will soon die

What if I had listened with my own voice
What if I had just made my own choice
What if I had just ignored the noise
What if I
What if I

Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Lick my wounds
Can't kill my pride
But I try

Blame and shame and flail in vain
Hold my head above the pain
Mourn my losses
Bless my heart
And hope the pride
Will soon die
