Lyrics
I've said all my "hail mary's" and I've recited all the right prayers.
I've performed religious rituals and prayers.
I've done a lot in the name of god to gain this solace from your stares.
I've done various actions in the name of God to seek approval from others.
So break bread as I take unholy communion once more.
I'm partaking in an unholy act again, symbolized by breaking bread.
As righteous as filthy rags bleeding on the floor.
Despite appearing righteous, I am actually morally stained and bleeding.
I'm sitting ripe, sitting fresh in my mire.
I am comfortably immersed in my own troubles or difficulties.
Behold the poison untold.
A hidden and dangerous poison is now revealed.
I've tried to show the world just how great a man can be,
I've tried to show the world how great I can be.
But this great man I've charaded is the farthest thing from me.
The impressive persona I've presented is far from who I truly am.
The man that I've shown is a man I don't know.
The public image I've portrayed is not reflective of my real self.
So shall it be: sown lies shall reap.
Falsehoods sown will result in negative consequences.
Honor has died with integrity.
The connection between honor and integrity is broken or lost.
What can I say?
Expressing uncertainty or a lack of confidence in one's actions.
That I've lived what I've told?
Questioning if I have truly lived according to my words.
They bought me, but I hate the manner through which I was sold.
I've been manipulated or deceived in the process of being 'sold.'
I know exactly what to do, I know exactly what to say, I believe every word
I claim to know what to do and say, but obedience is difficult.
It's just so hard to obey: trojan horse lies filled with big butterflies and they bought me.
Deceptive lies, akin to a trojan horse, have influenced me.
They took the bate.
Others have taken the bait of deception.
Hook, line and false, flaky, dimple-creased smile.
Reference to a deceptive and insincere smile.
Sit back and enjoy the show!
Encouraging others to watch and be entertained by my performance.
I'll have you hooked too, in just a little while.
Confident that others will be captivated by my facade.
So shall it be: sown lies shall reap.
Reiterating the consequences of sowing lies.
Honor has died with integrity.
Stressing the loss of honor connected to integrity.
I've lived all these lies.
I've lived a life based on falsehoods.
No more compromising.
No more compromising with my true self.
I know what to do.
Confident in knowing what to do.
I know what to say.
Confident in knowing what to say.
I believe every word; it's just so hard to obey!
I believe in my words, but obedience is challenging.
I know what I've created, this mess that shadows me, it leaves my conscious tainted!
Acknowledging the mess I've created, affecting my conscience.
I want authenticity, integrity.
Expressing a desire for authenticity and integrity.
Jesus, forgive me.
A plea for forgiveness from a higher power.
So shall it be: sown lies shall reap.
Reiterating the consequences of sowing lies.
Honor has died with integrity.
Emphasizing the connection between honor and integrity being lost.
My honor has died with my integrity.
Declaring the death of honor alongside integrity.
