If we learned from pain I don’t think the world would be the same Haven’t we suffered enough Between Christ on the tree, crusades, and slavery We’ve shed more than enough blood to fill this cup And we’ll still kill you if you’re born with a different pigment than the norm Cause we’re afraid of what we don’t see Maybe that’s why you hate gays and spent all your days Immersed in pain, when it’s love that will set us free If we learned from death why are we all Macbeth’s Killing anyone that threatens our success That we equate with a surplus, like our stocks of ammunition Waiting on the next war to profit I like to tell myself I’m different, but I’m a convict of my condition Self medicating in attempts to forget You said forgive they know not what they do, but I’ve seen this a time or two No regard for women and a penchant for abuse So I’ll scream out why did you forsake thee To the forest that lies before me As I wait to hear the rocks cry out

Lord if You’re willing, won’t you take this cup from me And pour another round of whiskey, on the way to Galilee If I can’t walk on water, then in drowning will I be freed Lord if You’re willing, please take this cup from me Lord if You’re willing, please gouge out mine eyes Cause I don’t deserve to look on these heavenly skies And only in the darkness will I be able to see the light Lord if You’re willing, please gouge out mine eyes Lord how could it be your will, to do anything I ask I’ve reached the end of my bottle, but I’d like to have one more glass I’m the bastard son of a murderer, dead since I was born How could thorns be enough, to save this child scorn
3.
All of my struggles are moving towards my fears And death is a sound I think I was never meant to hear I’ve never been alone, maybe that’s what I fear As all of my struggles move away from my fears All of my pride, is founded in grief I rarely see more than a broken teen Executions of souls, get handed out with technology There’s death in never being alone I can see If there’s a God can he hear me scream Above the phones and the TV screens Through the smog can he even see Above the mountains I hope my voice should reach If there’s a God can he hear me scream Above the phones and the TV screens Could he take the time to answer me A sinner who deserves nothing

Deliverance 04:18
Lord how many are my enemies That wage war against me And taunting forever I’ve received That you will not deliver Buy you oh God are my shield My defense in this blood stained field Please soon Lord won’t you reveal Your might and power forever I call your name in silent But your voice remains silent In the mountain I’m sealed from violence To hear of your endeavors I lie to rest and wake again I shall not fear one thousand men Who know not what they do amen God why do you love this beggar Arise the Lord doth say to me He strikes down all my enemies And he breaks the wicked from my teeth My Lord has delivered
5.
Lament 04:54
I’m a man who’s seen affliction, at the hand of the Lord’s wrath He’s driven me out and made me walk in the darkness of my path He’s made my skin and flesh grow old, and he’s broken my bones I’m a man who cannot escape, the weight of my chains I cry for help he answers not, my prayerful pains He’s made my skin and flesh grow old, and he’s broken my bones I call from the depths of my pit, You hear my plea as I cry for relief Do not fear the shadow of death, is no match for the flame my wrath begets
