Verse 1

Saint Cecilia rejected me

My heart was impure

I didn't display enough compassion for humanity

My behaviour was too careless

It was out of focus

I guess it's just another lesson to learn

I'll add it to the list of improvements

Verse 2

I'm full of demons and decisions

Concealing their influences is a struggle

I'm slowly becoming what it is I've been taught to fear

Excessive freedom and apathy is a virulent mix

My antagonistic ways have drawn concern

I'm unmotivated when it comes to eliminating my pernicious condition

I don't want you praying for me

Verse 3

If I listen intently, I may hear the echoes

Of what has been put into motion

I could remain heartless if it renders me unfazed

If I continue to go beyond limits

If lines of demarcation are erased and redrawn

If I ultimately break my own mind

I'll cease to exist in this current form

And that would be pleasing to many

Enough for them to celebrate my long-awaited demise

But I'm alive as the fires consume my heart

Chorus

I'm further away from where people want me to be / Living to their expectations is limiting / I'm seen as being a lesser man in need of a new outlook / Someone who should change their improper ways / What's hard is constantly being judged / As a result, I'm drifting further away from goodness
