I can’t deny

What has been spoken

I can’t deny

What has been seen



I am ashamed

Of the acts been done

They faint into the mist

Of fear and despair



The compulsive compassion

That leads within

Just another brick of lies

In the wall of shame



The liturgy still remains

Redemption



If there was something

To hold on to

And not just another

Rotten branch



If there was something

To sacrifice

Just another piece of mine

Thrown in the stake of lies



I can’t deny

I can’t deny



Death is just turning a key in a lock. And I’m still tied up in a rotten chair.

The whitecaps on the waves roll towards the beach just like always. And still I'm waiting.



I can’t deny

I tried them too

Those faithful words

Pouring from my lips



I can’t deny

I searched for help

But all I found was

Rotten and decayed



I can’t deny

I can’t deny
