Lyrics

Ascension Day

Someone kept the truth from me
And I went back and forth
Until the tension tore
Through me

Indoctrination is a powerful agent
Bringing trust and conviction
To anybody who’ll listen
Even I’m not immune

My hate does not condone the ways
I had made so many feel
While I sought out what I thought was real
What I thought was right

Anger and sadness
Devolved into madness
Self-imposed isolation
Center norm deviation
And now here I am -- alone

I’m counting on your company
Because living life without you is not
A life I want to lead
Now you know I see things differently
But I got my head on right and
I am so sure I’m not your enemy
So don’t take it wrong
Don’t take me wrong

I can’t fault you for what you believe
There are a million reasons why
We have fallen on different sides of this debate

Heaven and history
Forever entangled
Facts are rewritten and reality mangled
Can we still be friends?

I’m counting on your company
Because living life without you is not
A life I want to lead
Now you know I see things differently
But I got my head on right and
I am so sure I’m not your enemy

I’m counting on your company
Because living life without you is not
A life I want to lead
Now you know I see things differently
But I got my head on right and
I am so sure I’m not your enemy
So don’t take it wrong
Don’t take me wrong
