Deceitfulness Of The Heart

Deceitfulness Of The Heart 

Is it in man to know who we really are

The truth about all we ever hope to be

Then only to realize we have gone too far 

Away from all that we know and can see

It's been with us, the moment we open our eyes

Ever-present even when we're unaware, it's here

Leaves us when for all one tries

Constantly disappointed with remorse and despair

We can't touch it yet it touches us everywhere 

Out of it comes the issues of our lives

Trusting it will be here for us, not elsewhere

Only be let down by what we thought was truth, turned out to be lies

Who can ever trust it for out of it comes blessings

We aspire to help make a better world

No sooner after, it brings forth a great amount of cursing

All will soon forsake us and friends will sure grow cold
