Welcome to bloody waters, where sharks roam free to feast as they see food
The fragrance of famine oozing from me too, no I can't be taken for a dish
Sad the light's beyond my grip, my only option, sharpen my teeth, sniff, go out and eat through
I wish that it were different, but that's just the way to see streams
Collateral all around, elders, unborn to preteens
I didn't ask for this, but couldn't return the order
Wrong things were on my plate, but couldn't endure the hunger
I consumed rotten fruit until the taste got normal
Plug my nose with something white so I can ignore the odor
Didn't petition for this pain, had to live with what was chosen
It's just the way it came - it's not my fault that it's broken
I want it all - every pleasure from here to the stars
I want it all - though it means that somebody starves
I wanna ball - even if nobody here grows
I want it all - even with no consent in earlobes
Look, everyone needs a piece
Even make niece a piece
Burn every crease of decency, favorite flavor's disease
To satisfy lust and greed, trample on what is precious
Take favor and make her feast - arrogant and irreverent
Authority, is abused - minorities viewed
As enemies to stand against, not neighbors to soothe
Bathed in the hatred we spew, look at the wicked we choose
But I learned to thrive, welcome to Nebuchadnezzar's rule
I have conquered opposition in my palace at ease
Evolved past the need for a God that ain't me
And my pride is seated firm, on the highest of mountain
I guess even before a flood, we were already drowning - no way out
Tide rose where - ever there was ground
Wrath it fills my ear, waters roaring loud
Fight to stay afloat, though I'm sure I'll drown
Trapped, there is no hope - no way out
Welcome to bloody waters
Where stained palms has proven me as tarnished
His impaled ones, shines me up as spotless
Mercy to the lawless and heartless
With poison infecting down to our cartilage
Can see jubilee and know his catharsis
And every pain that I felt, and every pain I inflicted
Healed with every welp, placed for tasted forbiddance
In world where fathers mad dash away from their seeds
He saw his son flowered, battered to make a son out of me
Seems foolish that just faith and grace could pardon a fool
Yet something simple as believing is the hardest to do
Remember me, a posture that'll distinguish a thief
Clear knowledge that I'm guilty and earned what's coming to me
But he was holy and steeped, in good works and speech
The Word - and with words calmed the raging of seas
With water on every side, like vacation islands
Watch him sing a poor man to life to here from Asia Minor
He said be released, go and sin no more - grow and be the sheep
Study well, live as sacrifice - go and feed the sheep
Do good works, I'm the lamb no, need to bleed a sheep
He sealed us with, more than a little help dog - Pekingese
Go from gluttonous to glorious
Thief to theologian, whoremonger to holy
Victim to victorious thunder to warriors
Three days and five fish
He to rose to feed us forever living life in memoriam
No need to medicate to try and numb the pain
Came exactly as I am that's full of stains
I failed a standard meant to be maintained
I'll choose to love and trust in the exchange
He said come to me you weary and fatigued
Feeling pressure and your wilting from the steam
Perpetrators and victims all who in need
The burdens light take on my yoke for it is easy
There's no escaping, even if I'd disbelieved
May hate that I'm grounded, but can't deny I'm a seed
See wrath - came through water next won't be the same
It's crazy the same water baptizes
And keeps us safe from the flames - our way out
