Peace is what they tell me
Love am I unholy
Lies are what they tell me
Despise you that control me
(chorus) The peace is dead in my soul
I have blamed the reason for
My intentions poor
Yes I'm the one who
The only one who
Would carry on this far
Torn, I'm filthy
Born in my own misery
Stole all that you gave me
Control you claim you save me
(chorus)
Ode
Hang me watch awhile
Let me see you smile as I die
Take me as my body burns
Let me see you yearn while I cry
(chorus) One step on your own and you walk all over me
One head in the clouds you won't let go your to proud
One light to the blind, and they see
One touch on the head, we believe
Adore me as I drift away let me hear you say I'm fine
You cry as my body dies all that you despised is gone away
(chorus)
My Own Prison
A court is in session A verdict is in
No appeal on the docket today, just my own sin
The walls are cold and pale the cage made of steel
Screams fill the room alone I drop and kneel
Silence now the sound my breath the only motion around
Demons cluttering around my face showing no emotion
Shackled by my sentence expecting no return
Here there is no penance my skin begins to burn
(chorus) So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside
Which only fuels there selfish pride
We're all held captive out from the sun
A sun that shines on only some
We the meek are all in one
I hear a thunder in the distance see a vision of a cross
I feel the pain that was given on that sad day of loss
A lion roars in the darkness only he holds the key
A light to free me from my burden and grant me life eternally
Should have been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head
No time for mourning ain't got no time
(chorus)
I cry out to God seeking only his decision
Gabriel stands and confirms
I've created my own prison
Pity For A Dime
An artificial season covered by summer rain
Losing all my reason cause there's nothing left to blame
Shadows paint the sidewalk a living picture in a frame
See the sea of people all their faces look the same
(chorus) So I sat down for a while forcing a smile
In a state of self denial is it worth while
Sell my pity for a dime, just one dime
Sell my pity for a dime, just one dime
Plain talk can be the easy way
Signs of losing my faith
(chorus)
In America
Only in America we're slaves to be free
Only in America we kill the unborn to make ends meet
Only in America sexuality is democracy
Only in America we stamp our god "In God We Trust"
(chorus) What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song In America
Church bells ringing pass the plate around
The choir is singing as their leader falls to the ground
Please Mr prophet man tell me which way to go
I gave my last dollar, can I still come to your show
(chorus)
I am right and you are wrong
I am right and you are wrong
I am right and you are wrong
No one's right and no one's wrong In America
Illusion
