Cleanse

Cleanse Me
Cleanse Me
Cleanse Me
Cleanse Me

Cleanse Me (Let go! Let go!)
Cleanse Me (Let go! Let go!)
Cleanse Me
Cleanse Me

Inner conflict, selling a perception of success
From the pulpit is an insurrection I can't digest
Never satisfied even when my allotment is generous
I'm a perfectionist of hoarding in perpetual excess
A wandering I, confident mind, yet I can't decide
There in the lines, it is clearly defined
That these narrow paths have been crowded by detours
A parallelogram swinging repeated seesaw
If I could blinker my focus and centre my soul
And not tinker with the program, I'd find balance
It's like I'm excited at the thought of having it all
Isn't that a false lesson of a consumerist world?
I really care what you think because no man is an island
Use it against me if you please, at least I'm honest
I exhibit symptoms of a certain pathology
I'm pivot-flinching, like I'm addicted to my struggling
Put me out of my misery, self sabotaging
Like living love in paradise could be the worst agony
Put me out of my misery, self sabotaging
Like living love in paradise could be the worst agony

Cleanse me
Cleanse me
Cleanse me
Cleanse me
Cleanse me
Cleanse me
Cleanse me
Cleanse me

Inner sanctum, many times I lied to myself
Now let these words strip me and send me on to dwell
Upon my self-image and how I want to be remembered
To say I did it my way, so set that Paul Anka
The flag with a banner of my character
I made some bad choices and I'm saddened by the consequences
But I'm standing in muddied waters, a man
Not cowering or hiding behind some cunning plan
I know a social lynching will come, let it be done
Where I'm from a furious baptism is how we become
I'll spare you the platitudes of any cliché
But I bare you the gratitude of making me prey
What I want for myself is really self-determined
And I affirm within my self that I really am worth it
Far from a fallen angel, unique and only human
A rugged bone African man, deep and intuitive
Gotta cross the line in order to expand the boundaries
What defines me is a resilient tenacity
Put me out of my misery? Nah I've got some fight in me
My ride a passage inscripting all of my legacy
