Bulletproof Sinners

Bulletproof Sinners By Laura Dee Battle January 17, 2015 The audience has gone inside Where ecstasy will go to die I took a long ride with bittersweet youth Left here alone without the truth But there is hope to find outside If I can make it out alive The world outside it menacing But no one in here wants to sing Fail me one more time today Just for the good ol times to stay At least I know to let it go The dead inside is not for show Not fit for mass production A failed prototype of perpetual sin It's like repeating the last scene again The place that I die is where I'll begin Knowing this is where my journey comes home This sacrifice will never be mine alone Grieve for the son you thought you perceived Cry silent tears for the lies that you believed Honestly I lied because the truth is severe Can you honestly say you're bigger than fear? Cmon dear let me be clear about my intentions You're just like me; you see through you're own inventions The world is too relative to speculate objectively The level headed sinners are stronger than the saints will ever be Cause what we have seen is far more sinister than the worst of sneers Between the pain and the tears, we have nothing left to fear
