Deep Within

I was asked one day
If I had a can of memories and
Would it have an expiration date?
So tell me, babe
To forget or not to forget
Can I choose, tell me, baby
To drain away my heart's resounding blues?

Just when I thought I reached my destination
Oh, I was only back to where I first started
Becoming who I've always, always hated
The unbecoming unleashed
So won't you, won't you speak to me?

You know you got a bad sense of humor
You uttered softly
You just spilled some coffee
You stained my clothes, as well as my clear conscious
Probably, probably, probably, probably
Probably, accidental
But the thoughts that crossed my mind
Would leave you petrozoomin' by
Unrecordable with pad and pencil
Anyway, I tremble symbolizing
My temperature rising
Reminiscing the times when I'd do anything for you
But not knowing why, like Abraham sacrificing Isaac
I worshipped you, you were my idol
Silly, silly of me
Silly, silly, silly, silly
But right around now, I find no desires
As a matter of fact
I'm biased against all your opinions
Like dry rose, like dry rose
Once lively and captured your heart
But now destined to be crushed and become dust
Till death do us part
Ashes to ashes
I once died for this world, but now I'm born again
Oh, Lord, I'm born again
My barefeet on cold cement
Waiting on the day of resurrection irrelevant
Small talks with you that take us nowhere
I don't know how I was able to bear
The way you didn't show care
That's right, the way you didn't show care
I guess I harbored resentment this whole time
Kept it within me
Never exposed what's been on my mind
But now you know
But now you know, baby talk
Now you know
Now you know

You know, self denial used to numb my pain
But nowadays I can't find the Novocaine
Ways to hide what I already know
I know, know, know
I'd rather you shout, go on, boy
Go shout that nonsense than to whisper your little hurtful truths
Just when I thought I got all I wanted I realized
I lost just about, let's see, everything
Saying what I've never, never ever said to anyone
Breathing murderous, I mean, you know it
Murderous thoughts
So won't you, won't you speak to me
Me, baby

Three words of truth shine deep, deep within me
Anchoring my stormy, stormy heart
Yes and I need faith
To see what I can't see, oh yes
And I need hope to keep me going so strong
And I need your love, your love, safe and sound
Maybe that is all, that is all I need
From deep within
