David Bazan - Eye on the Finish Line lyrics

[Verse 1] Such an awful, tragic night Though I've only done what's right But even with my conscience clear I can't help this flood of tears [Chorus] I've got my eye on the finish line Got my eye on the finish line Got my eye on the finish line [Verse 2] Though I've been striving for their good I will be misunderstood Even my own darling dear Misconstrued my words so clear Given the time I think she would have understood That it was for the greater good Soon I will meet her at our mansion in the sky Leaving this wicked world behind [Outro] It's strange that it should end this way But martyrs never have a say
