Four Sodas 03:55
I'm so sick of feeling nothing I want to know if there is something more Will I resign everything I believe? I've never had someone else Sometimes I wonder what I've been missing She smiles, I'm slipping away My mind pushes how far I'd go When I am filled with infatuation She makes me burn inside Choices, Am I left with my choices I've got to get inside her mind So all she thinks about is me I am a crooked double minded man With just one word I would take her hand I am standing on the edge of giving up everything (Honesty breeds contempt) Part of me hopes it happens That scares the hell out of me (Honesty breeds contempt) Am I changing? Why do I refuse to see What the cost is of losing the one made for me? Burn into my heart what it means "to love & to cherish" Oh God! Burn into my heart what it means "till death do us part"

Ignorance - 7x Ignorance is bliss Everybody believes the lie That we are just fine But I cannot help but see the truth That someday we are all going to die Someday we are going to die Keep on living for yourself Store up money keep your health Just remember you can't take anything with you The day that you breathe your last Someday you'll breath your last Ignorance - 7x Ignorance is bliss Don't worry, got plenty of time Fill your belly, drink your wine Do whatever makes you happy Money will make you happy You are your own god Get knowledge while you still have time Just remember you can't take Anything with you the day that you breathe your last Someday you'll breathe your last Money is dead Pleasure is dead Your lover is dead Vanity is dead Music is dead Culture is dead Religion is dead Your country is dead Dead! Sex is dead Drugs are dead Your fame is dead Your scene is dead Your home is dead Your government is dead America is dead The Widow is dead Dead!

Spraying chemicals in their eyes Making them go blind Watching her head explode Her babies die inside And he smiles Torching her face Burning scaly eyes Placing them on thin ice Wanting them to die And he smiles Touching incessantly, hoping that no one sees him Hiding behind the house, hoping that no one catches him Closing all of the blinds, hoping that no one looks in Locking the door to his room, hoping that no one… Candles and skin Torture and killing Devils dancing as he lives for himself Pleasure is everything Candles and skin Late nights and tip-toeing around Devils dancing as he plays in his bed Pleasure is everything Devils dancing as he plays in his bed, pleasure is everything - 4x He lives in a past that does not exist I don't want to know what he would have become I don't want to know him anymore I don't want to know him at all He is dead I am free - 4x

I have spilled your blood too many times In dreams of sleepless nights Your blood is on my hands There you lie upon the ground Revenge has seen its end The crowds cheer me on The anguish and the beauty The death of an old friend Trial without jury Hanged at the gallows of my mind A man stands over me clothed in darkness When will this see an end? Then there we are talking like times long ago It seems just like yesterday we were best of friends I have forgiven you But my dreams betray me I lay you beneath the ground in forests where no one sees I bury you I bury you I bury you in your shame and I bury you Oh God that I would forgive with my whole being My lips have said the words But my flesh wants your blood My flesh wants his blood My flesh wants his blood Oh God that I would forgive with my whole being

Deeper, I go deeper I am going insane (I am going insane) Just to think That I would doubt my Creator Bitter, I've never been so bitter (I'll never trust again) Everyone I know They are liars They are all betrayers All I have known is a church that sleeps A church of self righteous whores and mongers Pius liars and thieves Friends were buried, and friends betrayed Lives were ruined, and nobody changed Don't want the Jesus they were living Don't want the Jesus they had made They were preaching They were living In secret They did whatever they pleased I don't care, I don't know who I am - 2x It scares me how many times I've wanted to walk away Just to leave it behind Never look back And I know that I am not the only one Who feels this way The darkness is all around me How will I escape becoming just like the ones I despise? By running I'm just like the ones that I despise

Can't put my finger on it This empty hole in my chest Can't put my feet in front of me Prisoner of my mind I can't see past my eyes Past my mind You speak to me but I've lost my head My demons feed me absolutes No one ever cares Can someone show me the way out in time Come lay your hand on my shoulder Tell me I'm alright These voices in my head keep giving advice That I would be better off not alive My God are you a tyrant martinet? Don't want this fight any more I build my life with my own hands Freedom is a lie! Can't put my finger on it This empty hole in my chest Can't put my feet in front of me Prisoner of my mind

I am living death and sadness I am living a lie Send Your prophet Cure the madness No one to blame but me Burn, I'd burn forever If it wasn't for You Yahshua! How can You call me Your friend As I spit in Your face? Why do I doubt Your goodness? How could I not care? I have played the harlot I am so ashamed! You became my curse I am blessed by the curse of Your Son I am at a loss for words forever! I'll praise Your name forever! You became my curse I am blessed by the curse of Your Son I am at a loss for words forever! I'll praise Your name forever! My heart is satisfied in You, only You I am finally free in You, only You Make me like Jerabaal I'll tear down this idol I am finally free! I''ll praise Your name forever! I have nothing left to say

Are we alone? As time drags on and on Our eyes will never see the end This pain goes on and on Our eyes will never see the end
