Envying the Sinner
04:57

Poem:
I just want to dispel all the rumors I’m living.
I ain’t living a coveted life, I don’t live my way.
I’m living in demise of my own devices.
My lies are my burden and bane.
I live with such addiction to the pain.
If there is one truth to the rumors,
It’s only that I live a better life than you.
Don’t envy the sinner;
There can only be one winner,
And I am surely not he.
Don’t envy the sinner;
There can only be one winner,
And I am surely not he.
The grass is not greener,
It’s in the way I water,
That you envy me.
Don’t envy the sinner;
There can only be one winner,
And I am surely not he.
So let’s put an end to these rumors
we all tell ourselves: He’s better off than me.
If you want to know the truth about it,
The only thing I’m happy for is that
I spend very little of my life, thinking of you.
I rarely regret, though I do often doubt;
But then again don’t we all doubt…
Isn’t it in the end what life’s all about?
Don’t envy the sinner;
There can only be one winner,
And I am surely not he.
Don’t envy the sinner;
There can only be one winner,
And I am surely not he.
The grass is not greener,
It’s in the way I water,
That you envy me.
Don’t envy the sinner;
There can only be one winner,
And I am surely not he.
Faith, hope, and love we doubt.
Isn’t it in the end what life’s all about?

Guilt in Fractures

Your love was smoke and mirrors but I could see through
God lied about your grey hair
I wait knowing you’re not there
Should I forgive you
You believe the lie that everything is fine and I pretend to not care
Is it better like that
Are you happy breathing or am I
I’d rather not know
When you’re gone, will you be happy or will I
Will you grow wings or horns
Would you deserve it
I’d rather not know
And just let your ghost decide

So here is why I think that everything is so deluded
This does not apply to me because I’m perfect and you’re not
You see people all around pretending to love their job but are really thinking “Just kill me!”
Everyone is looking to their leaders and saying, “Liar, liar, liar”
A guy with a million holes in him is more trusting then some proclaimed insecure goody too shoes
The preachers are all saying the same thing, “Sinners, sinners, sinners!”
Ya know, my man Jesus once said “Forgive them Father, for they not know what they do.”
If I had a dollar every time someone took advantage of that, I would have nuked them all to the high heavens by now.
A man who is admired by the community does the most logical thing to his wife, hit her!
The media obsesses with breasts and the models have scars on their so called perfect bodies
Children either get mugged, shot up, or think that they’re important
I just want to knock them all dead silly which is what I plan on doing
But they all say the same thing every time and are forgiven
I’m sorry, It’s alright
So I’m not going to waste my time on you maggots
I’m just gonna let karma come and chew you up

Poem:
When the skies are grey, or the moon doesn’t show,
My feelings are lost to thinking of you.
Other times,
When the skies are blue, or the radio plays a happy tune,
My feelings overwhelm me and take me to you;
And then…
Suddenly, I break down and cry,
Lift my hands to the sky,
Asking God, why oh why?
Suddenly, I can’t take it no more,
I want to hold you again,
Love you more than before.
Suddenly, you appear,
Taking away all my fear,
And I know you are near.
Suddenly.
Days and nights are the same, nothing seems to change.
A good day is, when something feels strange.
I can’t lie,
I kind of like it this way, I fight so you don’t slip away.
So I keep the home the same, our favorite songs still play;
And then…
Suddenly, I break down and cry,
Lift my hands to the sky,
Asking God, why oh why?
Suddenly, I can’t take it no more,
I want to hold you again,
Love you more than before.
Suddenly, you appear,
Taking away all my fear,
And I know you are near.
Suddenly.
Wherever you are, it’s too far from me.
When all I want to do… is to feel you,
Is to hear you,
To love you again.
I smile, I feel good,
At times when something reminds of you;
someone smells like you, looks like you,
sounds familiar to you.
But then…
Suddenly, I break down and cry,
Lift my hands to the sky,
Asking God, why oh why?
Suddenly, I can’t take it no more,
I want to hold you again,
Love you more than before.
Suddenly, you appear,
Taking away all my fear,
And I know you are near.
Suddenly.
