There're so many people who open your eyes
and show you the craters they see in the skies
Perspectives are jaded when Truth's within reach
and I have rejected most people who teach
I forfeit the frenzies they feed themselves to
I'd rather go hungry than eat out of you
And even if crazy is all I've become
My sanity's measured by little to none
I drew my conclusions like everyone else
in anger and envy that put my in hell
The fire was pretty, the darkness the same
but I want to hear what the light has to say
I cannot be honest if I cannot see
Surrender my soul to the Spirit in me
