Ethic - Any Given Sunday lyrics

If you could see from the perspective in my eyes, you know I could see by your expression that the message was denied And it won't, seem to ever let us compromise So breathless I define what I was never meant to know I know, this is an unprecedented time, the treacherous divide From the precious and divine Stay with me for a second and I'll try Explaining sentences I rhyme with the side I've never shown I know a lot of people that believe in god that are slowly veering Toward a mind state where they don't fully fear Him I fear god and his glorious gold appearance But I also believe that chi is the same thing as the holy spirit I may wilt in the fire of free will From my vices but there's power bestowed In being built in His likeness I still get bent, reverting walk to crawl Learning it'll certainly take more than love to conquer all To conquer all you must be invincible By teaching the little boys and teaching the little girls Plant that knowledge seed in the mineral dirt The Bible wasn't meant to be, only literal words And if you get to know me you'll find little that you like Caught between the good and evil with the riddles that I write My body, mind, and soul are just the minerals of light To a combination making up the pixels in my life So why am I confused with delusions of a love When I'm incapable to feel the hearts I ruin when I touch I've fallen from a god that doesn't listen to my prayers 'Cause the cry for help is coming from a voice that isn't there We watch tragedies happen and ask why (ask why) A reaction based on fear and desperation No explanation is given We ask why (ask why) There's little faith left within us And that's fine (that's fine) We watch tragedies happen and ask why (ask why) A reaction based on fear and desperation No explanation is given We ask why (ask why) It might test your strength to the finish But that's life (that's life) What if the first time I meet you it's all judgment? What if the first time you reached me I was on d**? What if I'm speaking for us all just looking deep into the fog Still believing that there's more than meets the eye This idea of deities in the sky and demons underneath Our feet is for peace of mind Are we so blind we don't understand that Hell and paradise reside on the same planet Whether the holy land is yours or the holy land's mine I don't think it's holy no more, it's full of landmines And you can't find the truth in religion But you can find God in yourself, see that's true inner vision See for me kneeling to pray in a church is no different Than how I feel when I'm saying these words Got traded in every day service for your weekly ma** Tell the priest peace and to keep his hands off of your seeds I was raised at an early age to pray that the pearly gates Would open their arms and enclose them around me When I died there'd be heaven sent Innocently entering the sanctity of worshiping the Almighty It was easy enough I guess believing and trust Were just two character traits I misplaced very young Gave it my all and made it my calling To be a servant of God and to help save the fallen But time would tell that my mind had fell As a result of the pitfalls of paradise I live my life in strict accordance to rules Men have decided that a god laid before us I can't buy divine intervention Can't decide between divided religions I find only a few signs have been given And if I can deny it It ain't undeniable, is it? If you could see from the perspective in my eyes, you know I can see by your expression that the message was denied And it won't seem to ever let us compromise So breathless I define what I was never meant to know I know this is an unprecedented time The treacherous divide from the precious and divine Stay with me for a second and I'll try Explaining sentences I rhyme with the side I've never shown
