My Holy cup of Sin!

There I go raising a toast to my holy cup of sin
There it shows rising above facades, moving against thick & thin
I push through the act, enacting this life scene by scene
shadowing the guilt burden, suppressing the antagonist within

For each lamenting overtone
For each serenading pretense
For each deceived semblance
For each feigned charade

There I go raising a toast to my holy cup of sin
There it shows rising above facades, moving against thick & thin



Flying on borrowed wings
thankless and shameless, I fly so high
Playing games with fate
soulless and spiritless, I pride my wins

I know its all lies
I know it hides a few cries
Oh! I must repent, should be sorry for things I've done
Oh! I must be bold, to accept the wrongs hidden too long

But there I go once again being selfish and mean
There the lies rest again, camouflaged so beautifully white & clean
There I go raising a toast to my holy cup of sin
There it shows rising above facades, moving against thick & thin



Running after obsessive dreams
breathless and lifeless, I fail to realize
Sailing through the shores
clueless and aimless, I fight against the winds

I know its all so vain
I know its just madness insane
Oh! I must stop, before its too late to repair
Oh! I must confess, mouth an apologetic prayer

But there I go hiding behind a pretentious grin
There goes all morality, failing to penetrate this impervious skin
There I go raising a toast to my holy cup of sin
There it shows rising above facades, moving against thick & thin



To the sinner in each of us
