I've cried a lonely heart
Brought to despair
Push and shove push and shove
Expected to be unexpected
Oh what a curse to be a poster for the convicted
My weight thrown against the sea
Because I'm not what you want me to be
Oh sweet chariot I grasp my last breath
Because it's me who that anger that creates you perfect
Why do I ask when you shall receive
This world is broken
Lashed out against creation is a pity decree
Blasphemy preached is a comics cure
Oh God wash us away
So we can sink beneath the ship that has set sail
So we can sink beneath the ship that has set sail
Oh God have we not learned
That our doubt has lead us to this
I am but a sinner with a saint's name
Rotting with every breath
That is taken from me
Doctor patch me up
Then send me out to war
I write this letter
To the heavens
I write this letter
God set me free

Build up your walls
To keep to yourselves
Build them up high
So stuck in your self-made doctrines
Not even striving to reach out
Beyond those wooden doors
You've condemned your fellow man
Left him to starve outside
While you keep inside your walls
Where is the devotion to compassion
Learn to reach, or you're a dying breed
Self-indulgent minds make for weak hearts
Sympathetic thoughts
No empathetic action
Twist your ideals of the deity
Until the face is unrecognized
Die to self
Walking with the plank in your eye,
So quick to judge
What you cannot see
Hypocrite, your vision is twisted
Your vision is twisted
You've been blind for so long
Judgment has come
Eye for an eye
Spit in the face
Of the one who taught you love
Your spirit is weak
Your spirit is dead
