I pumped it straight into my veins
It made straight for my heart, then entered my soul
Something meant to fulfill only drained, left a hole
Pierced to the core
Nothing safe anymore
Security gone
Anarchy here to stay
Any semblance of peace
Was violated and dragged away
Supreme, the being
Judge and master, the eye
Anger that could sear
Shot up at the sky
Pent up in one little body
So much frustration and anger
Straining to expel it all
The consequences spell out danger
Trapped and ensnared
Our plight, twice thickened
When we look beneath our skin
To our blackened hearts, we’re sickened
Discover emotion just to lose humanity
When I commit crimes
I’ll have to plead insanity
Because I know the truth and still listen to lies
That funnel in my ears, tickle my pride
Leave me alone
Leave me here to die
I can’t help but hurt everyone
No matter how hard I try
Caught in the game
A victim of the trick
But I’ll have to pay for the joke
I’ll get every last lick
So to live life is to know that you’re trapped
Confined to a body
In weakness, wrapped
But the challenge is to find the source of strength
To learn to tap into it
And endure evil to its length
To ward off lies
More annoying than swatting flies
Cause they’ll destroy your life
Leave you with no alibis
Lies will destroy you
They’re from the author of hate
Listen to them today
And tomorrow they’ll seal your fate
Decapitate them early
In whatever their infantile form
Before they grow above your head
Before you’re metal in a lightning storm
I’m convinced and I see
That love’s the only way out
It turns your face away from darkness
It explains every doubt
If we could only see
Exactly what love means
The depth that surpasses seas
That encompasses every good dream
Divine, pure and clean
Yet conceivable by you and me
What a clash of glory and grime
A God who confines Himself to time
Love embodied itself helplessly
To die on behalf of you and me
Brings sorrow and joy unto me
Love was the beginning and the death of me
