Depravity Lurks

(By GreatFaith) 

My human heart fails me.
My soul is burdened with crisis.
And strong is it’s depravity, 
Vengeance is longed with savagery. 

They say it’s worse than this,
My human heart fails me.
The sorrow and pain exceeds thee,
And hopefulness isn't hard to miss.

And strong is it’s depravity!
Fear holds me in captivity!
My heart wants their blood to fall from a tree!
My human heart fails me.
How could I think so carelessly?

My heart says lies are bliss,
And strong is it’s depravity.
Doesn’t it know, truth is morality?
It’s feelings are valid, it insists.

My human heart fails me,
And strong is it’s depravity.
