Don’t Play the Con

At school and work red-flushed, I sweat, and stare

My thoughts bound up amidst the foolish talk

Fake till you make it, no one cared

All my thoughts, I fear they mock

They all laugh, they all play

I feel like stone, I feel like clay

God make me strong or make me gone

All they do is play the con

Where shadows of doubt shall creep

All withdrawn and skin-deep

Wanna shout, wanna scream

Cuz the world’s gonna blow some steam

Fake news read, and problems solved

They really love their memes

Hoping their sins are absolved

But all they have is their dreams

Self-image all it seems

On pins, on needles, on shattered glass

Everyone’s thinking they’re top of the class

Take a pulse take a beat

Righteousness is bittersweet

Where shadows of doubt shall creep

All withdrawn and skin-deep

Wanna shout, wanna scream

Cuz the world’s gonna blow some steam

Its ok I’m poor in spirit

Its ok I’m meek

Glad to be merciful

Glad to make peace

Gonna be real this time I pray

Cuz in the end don’t matter what I say

Unless it gets them to the end

Where its planned for us to spend

I long for no division

Cuz in unity I envision

Peace, patience, joy and love

All from God above

Is it too much to ask

My friends to bridge the gap

To find common ground

Before Armageddon Town

Where shadows of doubt shall creep

All withdrawn and skin-deep

Wanna shout, wanna scream

Cuz the world’s gonna blow some steam

Where shadows of doubt shall creep

All withdrawn and skin-deep

Wanna shout, wanna scream

Cuz the world’s gonna blow some steam

Where doubts creep away

Wanna shout wanna scream

Cuz the world’s gonna be ok

Cuz the world’s gonna be ok

Cuz the world’s gonna be ok
