Destroying Transduction - Cool Hand Luke

I guess its true what Ive always heard

We make ourselves feel better with hurtful words

And more times than I even care to know

We hurt the ones we love the most

Forgiveness is what Im looking for

But you dont owe me anything at all

I’m sorry, It feels like Im stabbing my own back

I cant believe Im drowning in the words I should not own

And so today I take a vow

To never open up my mouth

Against another living soul

Be it friend or be it foe

But is this real

Or empty conviction

Just a good idea

Because Im a Christian

Just to make sure

Ill cut off my tongue

Destroying transduction

And make myself numb
