Fait Accompli
Hear the noises fade
Everything has changed
Even though I look the same
The burden still remains
Small lights appearing
I watch the sun begin to set again

I can't see the stars
Unless it's dark
My misfortunes are my own
From seeds that I let grow
What would a wise man say?
Draw wisdom from a wounded heart
A fait accompli
My destiny

Ghosts of injury
Resting in their place
Giving up and giving in
Ignore the fear within
I'm cleansed in waters deep
The place I almost drowned
Trying to escape
From the past
A fait accompli ... delivering destiny
