"The Cleansing"
Drink & Dry
©2010
Well I never know just when to stop
Everyone listens to their hearts
And you never know quite when to start
Everyone tears themselves apart
When he returned during the night and felt like he could die
I lifted up my heavy head and hung him out to dry
You could say he’s not awake, but why, neither am I
I’d explain how he’s a fake, but I’d just waste my time
When morning comes I wash my face but skip around the eyes
The cleanest water you could taste could never sanitize
All the things that I have seen you continue to deny
And If I said “you’re obstinate” you’d tell me so am I
Yesterday, could’ve stayed with you
Now I’m all on my own
I could wait with you now
But I’m all alone
My father has opinions some different than mine
But when it comes to communion he ain’t the first in line
If you want him to change his son, he won’t without a fight
But if I am the only one then how can I be right?
We’ve got kids with security, adults with a plan
There’s no reason not to take life in our hands
I don’t have an answer and maybe that’s why
When I think about it, I’m afraid to die
You could kill me with questions, revive me with wine
But blood in my mouth is just not as divine
As if you could see deeper, it’s not hard to look
Could I be the one who wrote the good book?
