Nothing less of good

Who is the selfish
Who is the whore
Who is the saint
And who is nothing less of good or nothing more?

Where do we find our angels
How do we stop our encounters with our devils

Who is the selfish
Who is the whore
Who is the saint
And who is nothing less of good or nothing more?

Piety and truth we try to find
Yet tell ourselves thousands of lies

Who is the selfish
Who is the whore
Who is the saint
And who is nothing less of good or nothing more?

Roads lead to decisions of happiness
Broken paths leads to guilt & anguish

Who is the selfish
Who is the whore
Who is the saint
And who is nothing less of good or nothing more?

Taking the steps needed to fall
And taking the ones needed to stop the enclosing walls

Who is the selfish
Who is the whore
Who is the saint
And who is nothing less of good or nothing more?

Advertisements all around
Telling me how to smile
How to purchase my peace perhaps just for a little while

Who is the selfish
Who is the whore
Who is the saint
And who is nothing less of good or nothing more?

Who am I to sit in the dark
And escape the realities of the world

To be the selfish is not who I am any more

Who am I to compromise my love and integrity
Giving away myself to a made up reality

Of the roles to play I am not the whore

Saving the world with a bleeding heart
Fighting for change
Believing that we are capable for a better start
Removing from the innocent the ill will's fangs

I choose to be the Saint

In the court of life
Who are the judges
And who is the jury

And who is nothing less of good or nothing more?
