Denounce
Visions of a destination, safe haven and retreat
Seeking solitude from the deception that we meet
I must go away to live
or stay here and die
I must within myself forgive
or forever live a lie
I must throw away the keys that are reserved for my heart
I must go to the end of the line and walk back to the start
To understand the path I must see the things before me
To reconcile the past I must leave those who adore me
To walk the straight and narrow is the yearning of my soul
So that I may confront temptation and gain my self-control
Every individual has their own burden to bear
and to each burden placed upon them
there is a world that doesn't care
To move beyond a world where hatred is left within
One must begin to hurl and toss their evil sins
