My Own Way

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

Betrayal made me afraid to use my heart, but it's the only tool I got
Confused the rubble for the top, abused the only rule I got
My record's skippin' like a rock, depression snippin' at the plot
Alleged missions I would ride, I rest my winnings with my God

You made me hate myself, and then I paid you for it
No mom, ain't think I'd break her heart, but I'm her baby boy
Can't say if I'm made to favor God or just his favorite toy
The day has come to pay a sum that I just can't afford

To go my own way
A pocket full of the poems I won't say
You got my soul on a loaner for the day
With no rebuttal, you know I'm gon' pray
I gotta go my own way
A pocket full of the poems I won't say
You got my soul on a loaner for the day
With no rebuttal, you know I'm gon' pray

If I gotta mumble, I'll do it, gotta stumble, I'll do it
Gotta tunnel to you, I'ma rupture crust with my tooth
When nobody humbled me, you did, would turn to dust 'fore I'm muted
You rushed and crumpled our blueprint before construction or proof (uh)

I'm seein' red and feeling blue to green behind the fence
A Heaven, reverend, beg 'em, "Make some room for me, a tiny blip"
The grander scheme of universe, no routes to run, assigned the bench
Common sense to compensate, a compass with no time and space

To go my own way
A pocket full of the poems I won't say
You got my soul on a loaner for the day
With no rebuttal, you know I'm gon' pray, yeah
I gotta go my own way
A pocket full of the poems I won't say
You got my soul on a loaner for the day
With no rebuttal, you know I'm gon' pray

Oh
You know I'm gon' pray, oh
Without no rebuttal, you know I'm gon', you know I'm gon'
Yeah, you, you know I'm gon', you know I'm gon'
Girl, you know I'm gon' pray, gon' pray
You know I'm gon', gon' pray
You know I'm gon', I'm gon' pray
Gon' pray

Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (pray)
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (pray)
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (pray)
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
