Denial Lives Divine
You want to destroy yourself,
And I say that's fine,
Clench your fist, and storm the hills (!),
Shame... to think you have a spine!?
To think you've got the courage,
the tenacity or volition,
Is this what you had in mind?
Inside... denial lives divine.
You talk and talk and talk some more,
So much I refuse to listen,
Too self righteous yet too self loathing,
And purely lacks real vision,
You say you can't help yourself,
Cmon! No more indecision,
We all need to hear it
But with conviction and precision.
Now! I'm a reasonable man
And I want you to talk true
Be concise and be forthright
make it hard for me to misconstrue
you say you've suffered enough
That's not up to me to choose
But I say with angered tone
your debts are vastly overdue.
And I say that's fine,
Clench your fist, and storm the hills (!),
Shame... to think you have a spine!?
To think you've got the courage,
the tenacity or volition,
Is this what you had in mind?
Inside... denial lives divine.
You talk and talk and talk some more,
So much I refuse to listen,
Too self righteous yet too self loathing,
And purely lacks real vision,
You say you can't help yourself,
Cmon! No more indecision,
We all need to hear it
But with conviction and precision.
Now! I'm a reasonable man
And I want you to talk true
Be concise and be forthright
make it hard for me to misconstrue
you say you've suffered enough
That's not up to me to choose
But I say with angered tone
your debts are vastly overdue.
