The Guilt Trip
The Guilt Trip
When I was young I had bad acne & would often skip school
Every time I looked in the mirror I would always see someone ugly
Sadness broke my heart in two then the loneliness set in
Now where do I even begin to think that it wasn't me
The accuser of the brethren struck me deep to the heart that would light
A flame that would stir inside the fragile imagination of my brain
With tempers of fire through family & friends
Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plow
Shadows plunged in mere desolation getting lost
On a trip on some far away vacation prone to desolation
Perhaps this was how Kurt Cobain felt before he ended it all
Satan has a way of disguising some bad by presenting it as being good
Another day in the hood falling for the guilt trip out of step
Now you will do as you are told until the rights to you are sold
One day I would soar like an eagle to the land of never more
The next I would run off to help settle an even score
When the devil is knocking at your heart's door have Jesus open the other side
We have no good reason by which to run away and hide cause
In the end we overcame Satan by the blood of the lamb you all understand
There is a single line being drawn in the sand let's cooperate with the plan
God's love for us is the eternal constant amidst the insecurities of your daily walk with him !
