There lives a waring within me
made up of kindness and fury
the judge and the jury
they all cast their votes.
Anger and reason
they fall to quick season
the shifting of tideline
the blink of an eye
And its always this
what I should, and I shouldn't
what I could, and I couldn't
well it always seems the same
So I summon my patience
but it's stinted and short-lived
you lash up my back
your tongue like a whip.
Then when calm and collected
I pick up the pieces
I patch up the drywall
from the storm that blew through
In total disbelief and in discontent
I stay fixed with you
I will not relent.
Out of loyalty
and in arrogance
I inherit debt
from men that I have never met
Never met,
Never met,
From men I've never met.
