Clarity

Sooner or later we will have to remove

The blindfold from our eyes

Sooner or later we will have to let go

Of the fictions that we lived by

Conspiring against ourselves

Denying truths for the sake of pride

Dividing our hearts to envy

Satisfying our lust and greed

Misguiding the choices we make

To wrath, sloth, and gluttony

Today we lost ourselves

Gave our self control away today

Today we bid farewell

To vicious cycles and we welcome new days of hope

Stepping out of the darkness and into the light

To show the damage we've done

Stepping out of the darkness and into the light

In hopes that we'll overcome

Conspiring against ourselves

Denying truths for the sake of pride

Dividing our hearts to envy

Satisfying our lust and greed

Misguiding the choices we make

To wrath, sloth, and gluttony

Today we lost ourselves

Gave our self control away today

Today we bid farewell

To vicious cycles and we welcome new days of hope

In this moment of clarity

The past seems so far away

In this moment of integrity

I can finally see clearly

Reason to live this new day

If I can find inside the strength

To defeat these demons

If I can find inside the strength

Carry on with self restraint,

Integrity and patience

I will know it's not over yet

That this is not the end

I will know that this is not the end
