My Last Night

I pushed on the walls of an unlawful community  
as hard as i (I) could 
and so, i (I) brought it on myself

I made sin turn into lyrics 
and show a dim light
on family who control us all  

word on paper taken 
words from a over mental, impoverished broken mind 
you know the words of truth and sin
like things that could be seen from out the dirt window 
things that happen to the poor 
things that go killing in the night 
and sometimes in the day 

you are reading the soul of me
and you feel helpless to help me 
fear not one tear for me 
for what has happen can not bring me back 
only true will, in others 
will be the light to stop 
the darkness of unsavory men of refine
