True Possession

I am my one and only true possession
My soul’s song, my only true confession
And I turn towards the truth of my obsession to roam
They draw you in and drag you down
No matter how you try not to drown
Sometimes it just can’t be helped
Them that live without sympathy
Them that are without modesty
Bore me deaf dumb and blind
You find yourself under the water
Fists clenched knowing you oughta turn the cheek
What was it they said about the meek?
I won’t apologize, let them criticize
With all the dismissal in their eyes
And I’ve been scaring them
Since I’ve been knowing them
Confusing them, long since been losing them
It’s just the way it goes
Strong and wrong, long gone
Strong and wrong and long gone
Down their path
There is no answer fit
Why I shouldn’t quit forever
Their company
