[Verse 1]
Fell asleep in a time of darkness
Awoke and all was a mess
Told the tale of the seekers of truth
I made a mockery of all the rest
Swore to the sky that I wasn't alive
And you believed every word of my heart
But I don't believe I ever played the part
[Chorus]
All my tribulations
All my tribulations
All my tribulations
Have laid me to the ground
[Verse 2]
Walked a mile when a mile
Was the space from me to you
Gave a piece of war and peace
Oh you know I played a fool
Won some and I lost some I played until died
But I don't believe I ever came inside
[Chorus]
All my tribulations
All my tribulations
All my tribulations
Have laid me to the ground
They've laid me to the ground
[Verse 3]
I dug a hole in my soul
Gonna dig it to china
Slept through the storm
I was born in
I made it out okay
Danced in a dream
It was real though it seemed
Bitter tragedy
Go ask the dust
It will tell you it's
Poetic justice
Justice
