Here We Come, Naked from the Garden
When it comes down to who indulged the first,
I think I've gotta face the facts. It didn't take convincing to go ahead and have a bite, and I didn't need the knowledge to know my right from wrong. Was I overly dependent? A spoiled, ungrateful son?
If I was made in your image, then where did these thoughts come from?
Here we come, naked from the garden with our heads face down and our hands behind our backs.
Did it have to be and apple that would ruin everyone?
Well, I guess sometimes we do things, just to watch it come undone. So lately I have been having trouble trying to remain optimistic about the coming years. I have to shut everyone out in hopes to find some rest. I can never catch a break from all these polished judges.
When all I want is an answer, I'm all open ears. My head is static, it's like I'm never here. The words resounding from the pulpit, don't speak to me at all.
Is there salvation for the deaf and dumb and violent?
Is there a wager on which road I take?
If I could figure a way to make this worth it,
In return would you pardon my misdealing?
So watch us run, shaking from the garden, with our filthy hands and a noose around our necks.
