Tony Rich Project Mental Purgatory
You're called by the streets so you gotta go
Addicted to pain, it's hard to say no
You're running from self, refusing to face
The demon's within, they've tainted your name
You're hoping for rain to cool off the fire
Ducking for shade but nowhere to hide
Don't wanna die young but you're losing hope
Can't see the signs so you're bound to roast
In the flames that you set, get third degree burns
You put in the time, now reap what you've sown
You're living to fast, you feign for the speed
You're gonna crash but you will not bleed
If you don't know God so how can you win?
Drown in your sins, don't know how to repent
After that death, you have no clue
How you will live or what you will do
You've got to reach for glory
Let go, find it in you
Or you'll be taken under
You've got to reach for glory
Let go, find it in you
Or you'll be taken under
Surprised your alive, don't know how you survived
Your fear has set in and it's a quarter to five
Your energy's dead, you take the sweat from hands
Remember you were a child but now you're a man
Salt in your wounds, the pain is so overdue
You done lived on the edge and now you're locked in a room
You could never know know truth if you never forgive
Start with yourself and then with your kin
When you look at your face you don't know who you see
You're one hell of a slave with no hope to be free
You've been led by that lust, now you're left for dead
But you could have life if you come out of red
Open your wings, get ready to fly
Lay down your guilt, reviving your life
Go tell your friends this is the day
You've become new and you're rid of their ways
You've got to reach for glory
Let go, find it in you
Or you'll be taken under
