All the Joy You've Ever Known

When there's something

That won't let you sleep

Can you live with

The secrets you keep

All the pain all the pride

All the poison you've taken

That's killing you inside

There's a manifested bitterness

In all the joy you've known

There's no point in redemption

Some things are better left alone

I've waited

For freedom from bondage of self

Grow tired of everyone else

Grown cold

Grown sick of the doctrine

The lies that I've been told
