The Tony Rich Project - Mental Purgatory lyrics

You're called by the streets so you gotta go Addicted to pain, it's hard to say no You're running from self, refusing to face The demon's within, they've tainted your name You're hoping for rain to cool off the fire Ducking for shade but nowhere to hide Don't wanna die young but you're losing hope Can't see the signs so you're bound to roast In the flames that you set, get third degree burns You put in the time, now reap what you've sown You're living to fast, you feign for the speed You're gonna crash but you will not bleed If you don't know God so how can you win? Drown in your sins, don't know how to repent After that d**h, you have no clue How you will live or what you will do Mental purgatory You've got to reach for glory Let go, find it in you Or you'll be taken under Mental purgatory You've got to reach for glory Let go, find it in you Or you'll be taken under Surprised your alive, don't know how you survived Your fear has set in and it's a quarter to five Your energy's dead, you take the sweat from hands Remember you were a child but now you're a man Salt in your wounds, the pain is so overdue You done lived on the edge and now you're locked in a room You could never know know truth if you never forgive Start with yourself and then with your kin When you look at your face you don't know who you see You're one hell of a slave with no hope to be free You've been led by that lust, now you're left for dead But you could have life if you come out of red Open your wings, get ready to fly Lay down your guilt, reviving your life Go tell your friends this is the day You've become new and you're rid of their ways Mental purgatory You've got to reach for glory Let go, find it in you Or you'll be taken under
