Preacher At Dawn

How ya gonna save  this feeble world,
If you only get the weak to pray
Do you believe you can bathe the evil
Wash this contagious syndrome away

Got a gift of life to share with all
sweep your morals deep beneath the rug
selling faith only to those who call
Seed the masses with your pious bug

Bribe them to believe
Bliss can be born of tragedy
Hope can spew from broken dreams

Preacher at dawn
How do you sleep with that counterfeit halo on

Behind

I will leave my crutches
I will leave my burdens
I will leave the past to the past
Walls I erected for new life
Walls I painted with pain
Walls that saved and scared me 
Everyday again and again
I'll walk away from anxiety
Escape this consistency
Plant my own family tree
I will leave this refuge
I will abandon this familiar taste
And I will make it as I always have
No matter the walls I face.
