Light from Within

Sails hang off my broken mast
As left and right ideas clash
Try and stay clear of tear gas

Gone is the way of life I've known
I see the madness as it unfolds
And it's escalating
Dodging rocks when tides are low

A bastard called society and freedom loses gravity
Tensions rise and fall like the sea

Time changes and I'm in disgust
The erosion breaking trust
People defecating in the streets I've known

Discontent as far as the eye can see
And the rats seek lawyers so they can breed
Sharks are circling and they want to feed
But they can't find nothing that they can eat
I get light from within

Batten down the ship's deck hatch
As honesty has come to pass
Trouble is in the forecast

Stow my opinions below deck
Gonna sail from this shipwreck
Circumnavigating
Steer my conscience home

I'm sun burned from the sin
I'm sun burned from the sin
Sun burned from the sin
I get light from within

I can see the truth at last
The sun shines off my compass glass
I followed charts and read the maps

Gone overboard a radical lust
Humanism starts to rust
I am suffocating trying to keep myself afloat

Discontent as far as the eye can see
And the rats seek lawyers so they can breed
Sharks are circling and they want to feed
But they can't find nothing that they can eat
Sun burned from the sin

Discontent as far as the eye can see
And the rats seek lawyers so they can breed
Sharks are circling and they want to feed
But they can't find nothing that they can eat
I get light from within
