lyrics

ABUSING THE MUSE

I've had enough of all this pressure
This heavy cross has got me bruised
There is no God, prophet or scripture
That is more sacred than the truth

Tonight I testify
Testify
And you've got no excuse
No excuse
I won't apologize
No apologies
When I abuse my muse

I will defy your sense of righteous
Your indignation of my words
Sanctify you with my honesty
I get so holy it hurts

Tonight I testify
Testify
And you've got no excuse
No excuse
I won't apologize
No apologies
When I abuse my muse

How can I exorcise my Demons
Without my true confessions
Rants and revelations
How will I get to heaven

I will condemn your acts of hate
And criticize your arrogance
I will offend your book of faith
And publicize your ignorance

Tonight I testify
Testify
And you've got no excuse
No excuse
I won't apologize
No apologies
When I abuse my muse

Tonight I testify
Testify
Speak my mind
Testify

Testify
Testify
Hold my hand up high
I won't apologize

I wish the 90s nu-metal was more often like this! There were a lot of worse bands stealing all the attention and making the concept of rap metal seem lame, while Manhole would have good stuff like this. Tairrie's vocals are awesome. RidgeForest
