Inner Assault

Will you believe the voice of truth or the voice of lies

That comes to you hidden in clever disguise

The niggle in your thoughts that leads you to believe

That "everyone else is better than me"

That too-familiar notion of shame and insecurity

The quickness to pounce upon the slightest impurity

Self-deception that states you are alone in this battle

In this frame of mind it doesn't take much to rattle you

Keep it to yourself because no one could relate

You're trapped inside the cycle of this thing that you hate

But the truth is that inside we all feel the same

For the sin with which we're dealing is a universal pain
