Fights Without Fears Within

Counting Devils

I'm counting all the devils

Here inside my head

One for every angel

But the angels went to bed

 I'm counting on my conscience

Here inside my heart

To accuse me for excusingly

Trying to miss the mark

I can't count on me

To count all of my obscenities

To rip the evil out of me

And hang my Judas in a tree

Can I count on you

To sterilize my every wound

Paralyze me by the truth

And tell me that my soul isn't doomed

Can I count on you?

I'm counting on the pages

Deep inside a book

To transform my inner thoughts to peace

Like a mountain's babbling brook

I'm counting on my knowledge

For the guidance I may need

But if God is my co-pilot

Then the pilot must be me 

I can't count on me

To count all of my obscenities

To rip the evil out of me

And hang my Judas in a tree

Can I count on you

To sterilize my every wound

Paralyze me by the truth

And tell me that there's no time to lose

Can I count on you?
