Footrace (Lyrics)

I dream I'm locked in a footrace
To betray Love to Fate
And at the end Judas said, "I've had enough of this game!"
See I betray my friend for gold
You do simply to behold
Now I'll go to work everyday
And trade my hours for my pay

But before I move on
I need forgiveness for my past mistakes
Because I'm scared of falling
Victim to the ghost of my past ways
I reach to grab onto something
To anchor me to your embrace
I catch your stare and it tells me
To come out of hiding and show my face

There's a storm out my window
Wind wrestles with the trees below
I put a log on the fire
Wait for the warmth to thaw the winter's cold
I climb back into bed
Lay my head by the one that I love
As my mind fades to night
My dreams will carry me on to daylight

Because I've moved on
I found forgiveness for my past mistakes
I'm not scared of falling
Victim to the ghost of my past ways
I reach to grab onto something
To anchor me to your embrace
I catch your stare and it tells me
To come out of hiding and show my face.
