Of Salt and Sin



So far beyond caring
So far beyond pain
So far beyond sin
So far beyond guilt
So far beyond salvation
These I am and I know this now, as I always have
I feel the passionate indulgences eat at my eyes like salt
I feel my pride deluding my senses
I feel my greed destroying my insides
I feel my sloth whoring away my dignity
I feel my want defusing my rights
I feel my hunger killing the poor
Yet worst of all I feel my anger shattering my friends
I am so far beyond caring
I am so far beyond pain
I am so far beyond sin
I am so far beyond guilt
I am so far beyond salvation
