Please let me see the faults my ego denies me

Don't let me grow so tall

I forget the ground beneath me

Don't let me forget

that satisfaction has no friends

That glory's only fleeting - already gone



I've wasted so much time

I'm trying to get it straight in my mind



Don't let me think it's love

when it's only just obsession

I've spent so many nights punching that wall

Show me the difference between decision

and denial

I want to know why I ask why



Let me see my confusion for exactly what it is

Don't let me make my rage a tool of regret

Allow me to sidestep my frustration and hostility

And the violence that comes to me so easily,

too easily
