But I Did Not

Would I be awakened with the wrong side rendered
But I did not
Would I be dangling towards demise
But I did not

Forgetting about the innocent splendors
But I did not
And rage blinding my eyes
But I did not
Could have slouched into deception
But I did not
Could have just made it make more sense
But I did not
Accept the devilish invitation
But I did not

Should I just sit upon this fence
No, I won't let go

Taking in the herald I hear a-hearken
Against the boneyard hounds a-barking
Almost went to bed just hating it
But I did not
Almost managed to manifest
But I did not

Tormented by just stating it
But I did not
A situation so self-obsessed
But I did not
Felt like burning down the home
But I did not

Felt like buying me a gun
But I did not
Felt like I was all alone
But I did not
Felt like taking it all on the run

No, I won't let go

Taking in the herald I hear a-hearken
Against the boneyard hounds a-barking
People just smiling at the sun shining
But I did not
Seeing the dark clouds silver lining
But I did not

Hearing the happy children a-chirping
But I did not
Sacrifice sometimes is just timing
But I did not
Feel so much you can't stand it
But I did not

Feel the love and live inside it
But I did not
Realize that life is but a minute
But I did not
Till I finally found you in it

No, I won't let go

Against the haunting howls a-hounding
Give it all a good old mind a-pounding

Taking in the herald I hear a-hearken
Against the boneyard hounds a-barking
