The Sin of Impulse

from Kyrie by Daniel de Jesús

/

lyrics

The Sin of Impulse
Cradled by the anxiety of being authentic
To be, to be myself
only invites violence
Hoping for the chance to disappear

I dare not show my true form
To this house
To give in to impulse
Love and truth is a recipe for disaster

I cannot love myself
To love myself is to hate everything I know

To embrace oneself is political
Giving permission to the powers that be to punish one mercilessly

Does anyone pray to be a martyr?
Does anyone wish for sainthood?
For fists and bullets will make it happen
Fists and bullets will make it true
