    MUST I

    So what do I have,

    that hasn't been used,

    what can you take,

    that hasn't already been abused

     

    Am I to begin mourning,

    gnash my brittle teeth,

    perform the Stations of the Cross,

    or summon a decadent priest

     

    Tell me, am I a desirable demon,

    that you must exorcise,

    must I prepare,

    to fall before my worthless pride

     

    MUST I COMPLY,

    WITH THE PRESSURE YOU APPLY,

    WHEN ALL GOES AWRY,

    MUST I DECRY,

    THE DRY, ARRID LANDSCAPE,

    SHOULD I DEFLATE,

    TO SATIATE, TO TITILLATE, YOUR SEDATE RESPONSE,

    OR REMAIN ENSCONCED,

    DEEP WITHIN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST,

    AND ALLOW THE SUCUBUS TO FEAST

     

    So what is your question,

    to answers I cannot give,

    must I spend a lifetime trying to fathom,

    your mind writing in heiroglyphs

     

    Am I the court jester,

    babbling and laughing incoherently,

    on the wave of our shared passion,

    did you change the frequency

     

    Tell me, is heaven,

    currently being refurbished,

    do I begin searching for signs to paradise,

    or remain emotionally malnurished

     

    MUST I ELUDE

    A SHREWD TEMPTRESS OF QUESTIONABLE REPUTE,

    INCLUDE IN MY REPORT,

    A ONCE WILLING RECRUIT,

    WHOSE NAME IS SPELLED THE SAME AS MINE,

    SHOULD I REMAIN CONFINED,

    TO THE DEAF, DUMB AND BLIND,

    COSIGN OR UNDERLINE,

    WHO THE DEVIL ASSIGNS,

    TO MALIGN AND UNDERMINE ME,

    MUST I BE A SLAVE TO YOUR MERCY,

    WHEN I'M FINALLY FREE

     

    So what good is tomorrow,

    if today feels very much like yesterday,

    what's the use of 10 Commandments,

    if 7 I disobey

     

    Am I the Doubter,

    denying your name not once but thrice,

    should I embrace the name of a false diety,

    and deny the Christ

     

    Tell me, is my soul,

    a product of fortuitous amazement,

    did I build my spiritual foundation,

    on a land prone to displacement

     

    MUST I ABSOLVE,

    OR BE RESOLVED,

    TO WATCH AS BROWN SUGAR DISSOLVES,

    IN VINEGAR AND BRINE,

    ARE MY CRIMES, INTERTWINED,

    WITH THE REST OF MANKIND,

    SHOULD I WALK INTO A CONFLAGRATION,

    OF THE DISCONTINUATION OF A ONCE PROMISING INFACTUATION,

    OR UPON CAREFUL CONSIDERATION,

    SHOULD I LOVE AGAIN,

    AM I THE PRODUCT OF ONE GOD,

    OR THE FOLLY OF HAPLESS WOMEN AND MEN 

     

    So what is the charge,

    for which I must now stand trial,

    did I cruse the Virgin Mother,

    or take part in a sacristy defiled

     

    Am I my mother's son,

    or grafted from some stereotypical clone,

    when Jesus emerged from the scorching desert,

    did I offer Him not holy water but cologne

     

    Tell me, will I truly die,

    helpless and without a companion,

    or will I perish one man standing alone,

    fighting against the devil's battalion

     

    MUST I PRAY,

    FOR THE DAYS, MY SOUL WAS IN DISARRAY,

    OR DEFRAY THE COST, OF A LOVE BETRAYED,

    STAY WITHIN THE CONFINES OF IGNORANCE,

    WAITING IN VAIN FOR DELIVERANCE,

    FROM THE BELLIGERENCE,

    OF THOSE WHO IGNORE THE PREPONDERANCE,

    OF TRUTH,

    MUST I HANG LIMPLY FROM A SPRUCE,

    TO SATISFY THE DEMON SEEDS,

    TELL ME, WHY MUST I DIE,

    WHEN THE SAVIOR ALREADY BLEEDS,

    FOR THE SALVATION OF MAN,

    WILL I HAVE THE WILL TO LOVE AGAIN,

    YES, I BELIEVE I CAN,

    IN FACT I MUST,

    TRUST IN MY SOUL REDEEMED,

    ALL PRAISE TO THE SUPREME
