No Way Out Lyrics

Welcome to bloody waters, where sharks roam free to feast as they see food

The fragrance of famine oozing from me too, no I can't be taken for a dish

Sad the light's beyond my grip, my only option, sharpen my teeth, sniff, go out and eat through

I wish that it were different, but that's just the way to see streams

Collateral all around, elders, unborn to preteens

I didn't ask for this, but couldn't return the order

Wrong things were on my plate, but couldn't endure the hunger

I consumed rotten fruit until the taste got normal

Plug my nose with something white so I can ignore the odor

Didn't petition for this pain, had to live with what was chosen

It's just the way it came - it's not my fault that it's broken

I want it all - every pleasure from here to the stars

I want it all - though it means that somebody starves

I wanna ball - even if nobody here grows

I want it all - even with no consent in earlobes

Look, everyone needs a piece

Even make niece a piece

Burn every crease of decency, favorite flavor's disease

To satisfy lust and greed, trample on what is precious

Take favor and make her feast - arrogant and irreverent

Authority, is abused - minorities viewed

As enemies to stand against, not neighbors to soothe

Bathed in the hatred we spew, look at the wicked we choose

But I learned to thrive, welcome to Nebuchadnezzar's rule

I have conquered opposition in my palace at ease

Evolved past the need for a God that ain't me

And my pride is seated firm, on the highest of mountain

I guess even before a flood, we were already drowning - no way out

Tide rose where - ever there was ground

Wrath it fills my ear, waters roaring loud

Fight to stay afloat, though I'm sure I'll drown

Trapped, there is no hope - no way out

Welcome to bloody waters

Where stained palms has proven me as tarnished

His impaled ones, shines me up as spotless

Mercy to the lawless and heartless

With poison infecting down to our cartilage

Can see jubilee and know his catharsis

And every pain that I felt, and every pain I inflicted

Healed with every welp, placed for tasted forbiddance

In world where fathers mad dash away from their seeds

He saw his son flowered, battered to make a son out of me

Seems foolish that just faith and grace could pardon a fool

Yet something simple as believing is the hardest to do

Remember me, a posture that'll distinguish a thief

Clear knowledge that I'm guilty and earned what's coming to me

But he was holy and steeped, in good works and speech

The Word - and with words calmed the raging of seas

With water on every side, like vacation islands

Watch him sing a poor man to life to here from Asia Minor

He said be released, go and sin no more - grow and be the sheep

Study well, live as sacrifice - go and feed the sheep

Do good works, I'm the lamb no, need to bleed a sheep

He sealed us with, more than a little help dog - Pekingese

Go from gluttonous to glorious

Thief to theologian, whoremonger to holy

Victim to victorious thunder to warriors

Three days and five fish

He to rose to feed us forever living life in memoriam

No need to medicate to try and numb the pain

Came exactly as I am that's full of stains

I failed a standard meant to be maintained

I'll choose to love and trust in the exchange

He said come to me you weary and fatigued

Feeling pressure and your wilting from the steam

Perpetrators and victims all who in need

The burdens light take on my yoke for it is easy

There's no escaping, even if I'd disbelieved

May hate that I'm grounded, but can't deny I'm a seed

See wrath - came through water next won't be the same

It's crazy the same water baptizes

And keeps us safe from the flames - our way out
