Any Given Sunday

If you could see from the perspective in my eyes, you know
I could see by your expression that the message was denied
And it won't, seem to ever let us compromise
So breathless I define what I was never meant to know
I know, this is an unprecedented time, the treacherous divide
From the precious and divine
Stay with me for a second and I'll try
Explaining sentences I rhyme with the side I've never shown

I know a lot of people that believe in god that are slowly veering
Toward a mind state where they don't fully fear Him
I fear god and his glorious gold appearance
But I also believe that chi is the same thing as the holy spirit
I may wilt in the fire of free will
From my vices but there's power bestowed
In being built in His likeness
I still get bent, reverting walk to crawl
Learning it'll certainly take more than love to conquer all
To conquer all you must be invincible
By teaching the little boys and teaching the little girls
Plant that knowledge seed in the mineral dirt
The Bible wasn't meant to be, only literal words

And if you get to know me you'll find little that you like
Caught between the good and evil with the riddles that I write
My body, mind, and soul are just the minerals of light
To a combination making up the pixels in my life
So why am I confused with delusions of a love
When I'm incapable to feel the hearts I ruin when I touch
I've fallen from a god that doesn't listen to my prayers
'Cause the cry for help is coming from a voice that isn't there

We watch tragedies happen and ask why (ask why)
A reaction based on fear and desperation
No explanation is given
We ask why (ask why)
There's little faith left within us
And that's fine (that's fine)
We watch tragedies happen and ask why (ask why)
A reaction based on fear and desperation
No explanation is given
We ask why (ask why)
It might test your strength to the finish
But that's life (that's life)

What if the first time I meet you it's all judgment?
What if the first time you reached me I was on drugs?
What if I'm speaking for us all just looking deep into the fog
Still believing that there's more than meets the eye
This idea of deities in the sky and demons underneath
Our feet is for peace of mind
Are we so blind we don't understand that
Hell and paradise reside on the same planet
Whether the holy land is yours or the holy land's mine
I don't think it's holy no more, it's full of landmines
And you can't find the truth in religion
But you can find God in yourself, see that's true inner vision
See for me kneeling to pray in a church is no different
Than how I feel when I'm saying these words
Got traded in every day service for your weekly mass
Tell the priest peace and to keep his hands off of your seeds

I was raised at an early age to pray that the pearly gates
Would open their arms and enclose them around me
When I died there'd be heaven sent
Innocently entering the sanctity of worshiping the Almighty
It was easy enough I guess believing and trust
Were just two character traits I misplaced very young
Gave it my all and made it my calling
To be a servant of God and to help save the fallen
But time would tell that my mind had fell
As a result of the pitfalls of paradise
I live my life in strict accordance to rules
Men have decided that a god laid before us
I can't buy divine intervention
Can't decide between divided religions
I find only a few signs have been given
And if I can deny it
It ain't undeniable, is it?

If you could see from the perspective in my eyes, you know
I can see by your expression that the message was denied
And it won't seem to ever let us compromise
So breathless I define what I was never meant to know
I know this is an unprecedented time
The treacherous divide from the precious and divine
Stay with me for a second and I'll try
Explaining sentences I rhyme with the side I've never shown
