This song was inspired by the 4th part of the album “A Love Supreme”. One of the best albums ever, one of the funnest songs to write. My guitar’s also in Drop-D.

lyrics

We've had our troubles, sometimes I don't care
I sit alone at nite, doing things I shouldn't dare
I'm a selfish pig, Especially since I know you're there
Sometimes I wake up, and still look at my oh so evil glare

I try to start clean, and try to rid I must
But my urges get in the way, and I subcome to lust
The devil inside me, has made my will power dust
I shouldn't be talking of this, it should be hushed

I've been told that it, flows deep in my blood
This is an ugly thing, not worth seeing a beauty flower bud
I cannot spread this disease, this condition to my kids
I can not love anyone, even if I keep it hid

I know I won't get, what I'm looking for just yet
Before I am a sinner no more, and end every bet
Then there will be a woman, and we will met
In that moment when we did, our lives would be set

But that's just it, that's where the problem lies
I can't just change like that, It's me I despise
I think that everything will change, if my sin really dies
Will I truley get someone, and will I truly rise

I don't know, I don't know
I hope to know, Some day soon
But I don't think I'll know
No, I don't think I'll know
Not now, not then
Not until I am truly pure
Not til I am with He Who Is Supreme
