Prison of Delusion

You say I’m too intense Far too much emotion And little makes sense I’m a little controversial, you say My faith is way too strong And in fights I never sway But baby, that’s the way I am Never say die, I’ll fight to the death So maybe I’m not a typical man Deny me love if you will Raise your walls up high But here I’ll stand still (REFRAIN) Break me, shake me, rake me, and hate me But you’re never gonna kill me Run away, stay astray, as you may, hide away But in the end it’s just you and it’s just me We masquerade in this tiny little life Wearing a mask so well crafted Yet we’re only hiding our shared strife It’s a pretty little picture you painted, yeah Hide behind your easel and think I won’t see But don’t con a con, it’s what I used to be So here I am alone again Wondering why you ran away Far from reason and into the arms of pain You have to keep your safe standard though Even at the cost of truth, and it’s sad That lies call you home to a sanctity of woe I’m not going with you there No, I won’t follow you that far, so (REFRAIN 2X) All these questions going through my head Why do we act as if we’re meant to be dead? You wouldn’t escape with me and the final word was said Why do you insist on being injected with lead? It is a tale of two hearts binded One stood firm and one strayed But I hope you’ll be reminded That God is still God despite your illusion Thus I hope that one day you’ll escape Your prison of delusionThis is a song that I've been toying with and haven't done much with yet. The lyrics however, come from the frustration of friends gone astray that I've experienced in the past. Written May 23rd, 2001 © on Jan 03 2002 06:54 PM PST   18 • 0 • 10
