Insult Like The Truth Lyrics

i've run my ship around on the rocks of the soul
thers's no lie like independence
there's no demon like control
i've fanned the burning embers till my house was on fire
there's no parody like power
there's no fever like desire
i've drained the wine of darkness to the dregs of deceit
there's no drug as stong as pride
there's no blindness like conceit
i've railed against the mountain with a pickaxe and a file
there's no minefield like presumption
there's no death wish like denial

there's no gunshot like conviction
there's no conscience bulletproof
there's no strength like utter weakness
there's no insult like the truth

i've adjusted my prescription till i couldn't trust my vision
there's no killer like convenience
there's no sickness like omission
i've amended resoluitons and resisted explanaiton
there's no trap door like emotion
there's no pit like reputation

there's no gunshot like conviction
there's no conscience bulletproof
there's no strength like utter weakness
there's no insult like the truth

there's no cancer like ambition
there's no cure like crucifixion
