Wrath & Pride

(album: The Things We Can't Forgive - 2021)

Maybe I'm frigging crazy
Can't control my emotions
Making my vision hazy
There's a hole in my soul some
Would say I'm singing the blues
Just like the prison in Folsom
With all thee ignorant views
You catch belligerent jolts from

But the world we live in is shocking
Make a man desperate and hungry
Give him a shotgun
Expect him not to use it when
Failure isn't an option
I know he'd understand
If this God is real and he's watching

God if you're real and listening
Remove me from this wrath I'm in
Or help me use it musically
Infuse it in my craft again
I have learned some lessons
But I burned the other half of them
I have earned redemption
Cause I keep on coming back again 12

Or maybe I'm gonna
Crack again from the pressure here
I feel my blood starting boil
Yeah it gets severe
This is just a fucking trap
I don't see no exit here
I was looking for a sign
This seems like a message clear

Betrayal in my business
It's expensive yeah
Bad energy is in the air
I sense it here
Looking back at the
Sequence of events this year
It seems to me
That I gotta be relentless here

Demons in my head
Oh they're just tenants here
Drowning out my conscience
There's One in this ear
And in this ear
It's becoming clear
They're a cunning pair running scared
Who's that?! Knocking at my fucking door
Someone's there

That's just two other guys
They call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low
Two other guys they call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low
That's just two other guys
They call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low
Two other guys they call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low

Maybe I'm frigging losing it, pampered in my seclusion
And stranded in this confusion, of fantasy and delusion, intensified by brutality
Probably leave a contusion, desensitized to reality, rather see the illusion
Ain't nobody telling me nothing this wrath is a cancer
They keep asking about my motives, I don't have any answer
But the question remain, derived through depression and pain
The destination stay the same but my direction is changed
God if your really listening, free me from all this pride I feel
Keep these demons away from me, creeping me while I try to heal
Help me to see the truth when the people around me lie and steal
Put the pieces together cause I been feeling divided still
Everywhere I turn feel like walls are closing in on me
But none of em are tall enough to hold in all this energy
The kid was only chosen for disposing of the enemy
Ironic that the mask I wear exposing my identity
Make a wish, you gonna need it, now the mystery completed
I just Paint a humble image, but the picture look conceited
Living in a vicious cycle, this is history repeated
Your opinion is a waste, here's permission to delete it
Put the smoke into my chest, for all the Post traumatic stress
My expression not impressed, trying to Focus on what's next
Always Battling myself, it's like a Constant war I'm in, who's that?!
Someone knocking on my fucking door again

That's just two other guys
They call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low
Two other guys they call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low
That's just two other guys
They call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low
Two other guys they call wrath and pride
Now I'm half as high as I am low
On his way to wrath
On his way to pride
On his way to wrath
On his way to pride
On his way to wrath
On his way to pride

Everywhere I go I feel like walls are closing in on me
