War Within Us

As we find ourselves barely conscious, we struggle to our knees

Looking for a sign that says this is life, and not a dream

There is a sign and it read: Hope is the leash of submission

Moral bondage forges its cage, once again filling us with guilt and shame

Moral bondage tightens its grip, once again crushing us with fault and blame

For how long will we carry these crippling loads?

And when will we unlearn the lies, refuse the cost and throw it all to the dogs?

Throw it all, throw it all, throw it all, throw it all to the dogs!

Signs statements of release Relinquishing all duties

Offer a refusal with no regrets

Sever the religious romantic ties

Throw off the guilt and the faithfulness

For how long will we carry these crippling loads?

And when will we unlearn the lies, refuse the cost and throw it all to the dogs?
