Drinking From The Poisoned Well lyrics

Fist through a wall - foot through a door

Just another day for me to abhor



There`s a wall in my plan for you today

There`s a door with your name where it lay

Years of hateful thoughts will get you back

I`ll be at peace soon



You think you`re punishing me by your anger

But it`s you serving the jail sentence



Heart turned to stone suffering all alone

Calibrating how hatred can sink the power of forgiveness



Anger needs a place to be buried

Anger needs a process for its gravestone



The time has come to speak of many things

Not shoes and ships and sealing wax not cabbages and Kings

But the way your raging words and actions

Gouge a monumental chasm between us



If I could only help you to see what I see

As you push away the ones who love you

Your world is closing in on you

The once many friends become the reluctant few



And when the few that remain choose rather to abstain

You`ll be left alone with all the pain

And you`ll ponder at length how a day turned a year

And the years rolled along till nobody was near



Broken before the One who understands

That it`s hard to let go of familiar land

But you`ve got to leave the safe ground behind

A better place is waiting where there`s peace of mind



Now that you`ve come to realize

That chronic anger has a steep price

Taking more than you can afford to give

Stealing the joy that you need to live
