Honor and Integrity - Staple

I’ve said all my «Hail Mary’s» and I’ve recited all the right prayers

I’ve done a lot in the name of God to gain this solace from your stares

So break bread as I take unholy communion once more

As righteous as filthy rags bleeding on the floor

I’m sitting ripe, sitting fresh in my mire

Behold the poison untold

I’ve tried to show the world how great a man can be

But this great man I’ve charaded is the farthest thing from me

THE MAN THAT I’VE SHOWN IS A MAN I DON’T KNOW

So shall it be: Sown lies shall reap

Honor has died with integrity

What can I say?

That I’ve lived what I’ve told?

They bought me, but I hate the manner through which I was sold

I know exactly what to do, I know exactly what to say

I believe every word;

it’s just so hard to obey!

Trojan horse lies filled with big butterflies and they bought me

They took the bait

Hook, line and false, flaky, dimple-creased smile

Sit back and enjoy the show!

I’ll have you hooked too, in just a little while

So shall it be: Sown lies shall reap

Honor has died with integrity

I’ve lived all these lies

No more compromising

I know what to do

I know what to say

I believe every word;

it’s just so hard to obey!

I know what I’ve created — this mess that shadows me — it leaves my concious

tainted

I want authenticity, integrity!

Jesus, forgive me!

So shall it be: Sown lies shall reap

Honor has died with integrity

MY HONOR HAS DIED WITH MY INTEGRITY
