Jesus Wept

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
