BATTLE WITH SELF: IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT!
WHY WAS I GIVEN THIS BURDEN
NEGLECT WAS MY BEST FRIEND
THAT INFLUENCED ME TO SIN
IF I COULD ONLY BREAK THESE MENTAL CHAINS
I'D EXPOSE TO THE WORLD THIS BRAIN
I'M FOOLISHLY LETTING GO TO WASTE
TOO MANY BAD MOVES, AND BAD TASTE
JUMPING AND RUNNING UP ON THE WRONG TASK
AND MISLEAD SIGNALS LED ME TO THIS FOLK IN THE RODE
ALWAYS SEEM TO EXCAPE REALITY ON CLOUD 9
FOR THE MOMENT IT EASES THE PAIN
BUT THE BALL OF ANGER IN MY HEART
HAS ONLY INCREASED TO THE SIZE OF A COMET
RUNNING WILD THROUGH MY GALAXY
CLUTCHING MY FAITH THE WHOLE WHILE I WAIT
DON'T KNOW THE EXACT TIME SO I GOTTA STAY STR8
THE WORLD WILL BE DESTROYED AND THE REASON WILL BE GREED AND HATE
MAINLY BECAUSE THE HIGH POWERED WANNA BE GREAT
THIS IS LIKE A GAME OF CHEST
YOU GOTTA PLAY SMART, THERES ALOT AT STAKE
MOST OF THIS DRAMA CAN'T BE AVOIDED
A HOLY WAR GOING ON IN THE MIDDLE EAST
I THOUGHT THE PURPOSE WAS FOR PEACE
BUT ALL I FEEL NEAR IS THE BEAST!
