Against The Grain - Jesus Wept

Well I’m standing on my last leg

Dejected world heed what I say

Caught up in lies and material gain

In given time the pleasure turns to pain

Won’t crawl on all fours for you

I admit I’ve made some mistakes

Won’t believe your truth is a lie

Determination: a creed to live by

Against the grain I try

Again I believe the lies

I won’t cave to condescending ways

The sands of time is more than I can take

The war I wage within myself

I must find a way

To take control

Vow to never fall again

But I’m holding, holding on to pain

Although I know its all mundane

The creeper I must sow, protecting

Won’t crawl on all fours for you

I admit I’ve made some mistakes

Won’t believe your truth is a lie

Determination: a creed to live by

Against the grain I try

Again I believe the lies

Can’t stand it for another day

I know its an illusion

Against the grain
