I'm crumbling like the bodies that lay here before me.

Too many books I had to close because they didn't finish the story.

Sinking deep into the glory, yet depression is leeched on my back.

Taking the fortunate from my veins and eating it like a snack.

How come sulfur makes me suffer through the rock stormy nights?

How come salvation only goes to the ones who don't know left from right?

Someone tell me why these fangs won't ever cease from my eyes.

Blinding my true scent from the world that covers me in its lies.

Simplicity keeps me going.

Reality keeps me snoring.

Fantasy keeps my wind blowing.

Sanity keeps me glowing.

Drugs and lust keep my mind off of the sins that I make.

Screaming loud is what keeps me from bleeding all over my families lake.

Family is what keeps me thinking of another day.

Insanity is what keeps me pushing out of the mud today.

I see this mask that loves the texture of my unaccepted face.

Talking to God in hopes that he will take over my place.

Knowing he's coming in time puts a smile on my face.

But hearing doubts takes all the glories away and replaces it with disgrace.

Can I walk to my temple? 
(Understand Thee)

Can I walk to my oasis?
(Understand Me)

Can someone ever join me?
(Understand Thee)

Can someone ever save me?
(Understand Me)

Can someone tell me it's ok?

(Understand Thee)

Can someone tell me I'm ok?

(Understand Me)

You demons still leave me clueless...

(Understand Thee)

You demons still lack to even...

Understand me...
