My Dark Side
Years of love tainted in the hatred of a minute
Mother will never come to terms,
With the demons that charm me
Darker sides of myself,
I can neither explain nor avoid
Not even I can fully comprehend
This impulsive obsession
This violent transgression
This hypnotic possession
It prods at my heart with pinprick-sized swords
Leaving small scars
And a cavity of evil
It rules over my senses
Like an ecstasy drug
Leaving a dreadful hangover
And a grocery list of lies
Prayers can't seem to overcome
This war I've forged
Beating on battle drums
I invoke the Holy Spirit
And receive a vortex of emptiness
Clasping palms together,
I'm begging God! See!
Please wash away this conniving side to me,
I want to be 'good'!
I try with all my might
But no matter how hard I cry
I'm losing this fight
Mother, she loves me
Biologically forced to
But if I was a lone beggar on her street,
I know what she would do
Oh Lord what tribulations,
Brew inside this frame!
Jesus, take pity on those who love you,
For I exalt your name
Don't just make mother listen
Allow her to understand!
Send me an admonition,
Tell me, Lord,
What is your plan?
I'm losing my music
I'm losing my spark
Near losing my ambition
I need to make my mark
Graffiti hasn't been displayed
In my honor
This signature isn't in
A hall of fame
Oh Lord, in the future, when you must take me
Promise me the world will remember my name
Mother how I love you
Truly I do
Please don't let my dark side
Transgress you too
