Something Vicious

Is it honest of a boy to secretly enjoy

all the subtle things that break the seams 

and threaten to destroy his very way of blameless living?

His own path of guiltless ways? 

Do his questions need forgiving when his innocence decays?  

They said
“Though purity can never be replenished

grace may still be something you can win”

So I'll leave the front light on

and claim it helps you Grace, find your way home;

While kind of wishing somebody else wanders in

Can a lack of faith in man be traced to lack of faith in God?
I hope to God that I'm not faithless;
for without faith we'd all be lost
and forced to rely on the conscience of flawed humanity
Within a baseless state of tarnish that is grounded in nothing

They said though faultlessness cannot be rediscovered

innocence is something you can find again...

So I'll leave the front light on,

to help innocence find its way back home;

While kind of wishing somebody else wanders in

Do do do do da do do da da da...

I'll leave the front light on

and claim it helps you, faith, find your way home

While kind of wishing something vicious wanders in
I’ll leave the front light on 
And claim it helps you find your way back home 
While kind of wishing something vicious wanders in
