The Pharisee

I was once like you
Bitter and confused
Angry at the world
This orphaned baby
Now I have come clean
Opened my eyes and seen
All the hypocrisy
The problem was me
Know that if I could
I'm not sure I would
For those who've understood
And found their own way
What did you expect
From those who still reject
The one and only way

Don't Run
Run Away
After all is said and done
It's good to see you still hanging on
Ripped apart your broken box
You've shattered all your chains and locks

Saints peddle their virtues
Misled by their misuse
Seduced by their own muse
Can you refute them
There's never enough time
For you to speak your mind
Overlook the crime
You cannot face them
Their loss will be your gain
White lies corrupt the sane
Inflicted in your name
Beware the fire
Shroud of deceit and lies
A delicate disguise
Will you throw it aside

And Run
Run Away
After all is said and done
It's good to see you still hanging on
Ripped apart your broken box
You've shattered all your chains and locks

I don't want to see you running
I'll show you how to stand up for yourself
You can hold on me if you need to
I'll hold you up for now
Shelter doesn't last forever
Soon you'll have to run it down
Sands of time won't still for you
Grab a hold before they're gone
