about

Other Wise on a touchy topic...religion. Confused on what to believe in he just knows he needs help of some kind from a higher power.

lyrics

I'll never stop...a yield sign couldn't slow me down...
till i'm at the top...I'll keep moving till i hold the crown...
my motives now are keep going on this road I've found...
Till i look back and I notice that i've grown so proud...
do what it takes to advance position...
I'll never be a saint despite my dads religion...
as my sweat beads like rosary...strands are given...
but I swear I won't wipe em on the hands of wisdom...
holy ghost, hold me close...as i'm standing with him...
I confess my darkest sins...though, he can't forgive them...
so as I just leave, mad of course..I know inside...
i'm suppose to hide my image like the sistine chapel doors...
I'll open wide...express my visions to the people...
even though the world that we live in is deceitful...
I won't allow the hate to make me give in to the evil...
so I'll say a prayer as i sit beneath the steeple...

Chorus:
Father in heaven...give me strength...patience...
or whatever it is I'll need just to take this...
I'm angry and anxious...but mainly, I stay with...
a doubt in my mind that's stronger than my faith is...
if you need a sign then i'll make it
for you to show me the light...or a sign that I'll make it...
the clocks moving slower than the line that i wait in...
i'm countin down the minutes...all the time that it's takin...

as my watch stops ticking...my life's metronomes
dead and froze so now i've lost my rhythm...
I still fight my inner child, but i'm lost within him...
since I never took the road that Robert Frost has given...
But the poems, I'll quote em...writin life in a stanza...
question each motion, though i'll never find the answers...
I'm still takin over...i'll develop like a cancer...
so now it's time to get my act together like a dancer...
...with each step as a form of expression...
I grab my self image, leave it torn in to segments...
And mention, i don't care what you think of me...
Nope...and i don't care if you see me bleed...
I just wanna stand out like a 3D screen...
believe me, please i'm just gonna be me, jeez...
if you can't take it...ask jesus to find me...
and pray that he'll control all these demons inside me...

Chorus
