I've run my ship aground on the rocks of the soul There's no lie like independence there's no demon like control I've fanned the burning embers til my house was on fire There's no parody like power There's no fever like desire I've drained the wine of darkness to the dregs of deceit There's no drug as strong as pride There's no blindness like conceit I've railed against the mountain With a pickaxe and a file There's no minefield like presumption There's no death wish like denial There's no gunshot like conviction There's no conscience bulletproof There's no strength like utter weakness There's no insult like the truth I've adjusted my prescription til I couldn't trust my vision there's no killer like convenience there's no sickness like omission I've amended resolutions and resisted explanation There's no trap door like emotion There's no pit like reputation There's no cancer like ambition There's no cure like crucifixion
