[00:29.41] [00:33.65]Realizing that there's no place else to go [00:36.96] [00:38.20]And there's nobody I know who can help me [00:41.58] [00:43.68]Text book solutions are so improbable [00:47.05] [00:48.61]Cuz everybody else is just as empty [00:52.27] [00:54.02]Naked as the day that I was born I tried to hide [00:57.95] [00:59.01] Behind education and philosophy [01:02.01] [01:04.47]Hopeless explanation to describe a situation [01:08.21] [01:09.47]I can't see because the world's on top of me [01:12.16] [01:15.05]Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me [01:19.17] [01:20.67]From the body of this death [01:23.03] [01:25.54]Freeing me from dust and the superficial trust [01:28.95] [01:30.57]Of an enemy that seeks to take my breath [01:32.69] [01:36.00]Failing to connect cuz I'm morally defect [01:39.99] [01:41.18]By reason of the God inside my head [01:43.99] [01:46.04]Causing me to see only what pertains to me [01:50.80] [01:51.99]Believing I'm alive when I'm still dead [01:54.75] [01:57.14]Limited to earth unable to find out my worth [02:01.48]Cuz I can't see past my own vanity [02:04.85] [02:07.15]If I'm not included then I just have to remove it [02:11.33] [02:12.21]From my mind because it has to be in sanity [02:14.64] [02:18.07]Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me [02:22.69] [02:23.82]From the body of this death [02:25.56] [02:28.81]Can I even factor that I've only been an actor [02:32.67] [02:33.55]In this staged interpretation of this day [02:36.67] [02:38.92]Focused on the shadow with my back turned to the light [02:43.17] [02:43.91]Too intelligent to see it's me in the way [02:47.09] [02:49.27]What a paradox having God trapped in a box [02:53.61] [02:54.67]All this time professing to be spiritual [02:57.56] [02:59.80]Naturally pretending that I'm actually defending [03:04.30] [03:05.17]God ( ) don't need material [03:07.79] [03:10.16]Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart from wickedness [03:14.34] [03:15.41]That

the deception of thy youth [03:34.87] [03:35.44]So we could walk in the council of authority [03:38.00] [03:41.24]Forget the proof our generation so aloof [03:45.44] [03:46.37]Only follow in the steps of the majority [03:49.18] [03:51.68]Trust in the Lord with all thy heart [03:55.11]And lay not to thine oh an understanding in all thy ways [03:59.88] [04:02.07]Acknowledge Him and He shall correct our paths [04:06.51] [04:07.26]Be ( ) you can follow him [04:10.54] [04:12.17]We judge and condemn just as ignorant as them [04:15.76] [04:17.19]Who religion tells us that we should ignore [04:19.81] [04:23.18]Perpetrating we're in covenant with Him [04:25.74] [04:27.61]Exposed by the very things that we adore [04:30.05] [04:32.79]We grin and shake hands then lay ambush for the man [04:36.97] [04:37.97]Who has a different point of view then us [04:40.41] [04:43.46]Infuriated cuz he doesn't understand [04:47.35] [04:48.67]Bringing up those things we don't want to discuss [04:50.80] [04:53.60]Why still do evil we don't know how to do good [04:57.66] [04:58.59]Walking on in darkness running from the light ey [05:03.27] [05:04.33]Led to believe because we live in neighborhoods
