Drinking From The Poisoned Well Lyrics

Just another day for me to abhorThere's a wall in my plan for you todayThere's a door with your name where it layYears of hateful thoughts will get you backI'll be at peace soonYou think you're punishing me by your angerBut it's you serving the jail sentenceHeart turned to stone suffering all aloneCalibrating how hatred can sink the power of forgivenessAnger needs a place to be buriedAnger needs a process for its gravestoneThe time has come to speak of many thingsNot shoes and ships and sealing wax not cabbages and KingsBut the way your raging words and actionsGouge a monumental chasm between usIf I could only help you to see what I seeAs you push away the ones who love youYour world is closing in on youThe once many friends become the reluctant fewAnd when the few that remain choose rather to abstainYou'll be left alone with all the painAnd you'll ponder at length how a day turned a yearAnd the years rolled along till nobody was nearBroken before the One who understandsThat it's hard to let go of familiar landBut you've got to leave the safe ground behindA better place is waiting where there's peace of mindNow that you've come to realizeThat chronic anger has a steep priceTaking more than you can afford to giveStealing the joy that you need to live
