MISSHAPEN INTENT
(Lyrics by J. Emery)
Wandering
aimlessly, stricken with grief
Self-hatred overflowing
It’s eating away
It’s eating away, obstructing virtue
Overwhelming and growing
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love
There
are those who live deriving pleasure
From others’ anguish and mental distress
Complete selfishness providing purpose
Compelling us to digress
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love
Tainting
the innocent
With spiteful contempt
Tainting the innocent
A shallow, misshapen intent
Oblivious
to out hardship
Rehearse the solemn ritual
Wandering
aimlessly, stricken with grief
Self-hatred overflowing
It’s eating away
It’s eating away, obstructing virtue
Overwhelming and growing
The enduring might of hatred
Obscuring the strength of love
Tainting
the innocent
With spiteful contempt
Tainting the innocent
A shallow, misshapen intent
