Cool Hand Luke - Destroying Transduction lyrics

i guess it's true - what i've always heard

we make ourselves feel better with hurtful words

and more times than i care to even know

we hurt the ones we love the most

forgiveness is what i'm looking for

but you don't owe me anything at all

it feels like i'm stabbing my own back

i can't believe i'm drowning in the words

i should not own

and so this day I make a vow

to never open my mouth

against another living soul

be it friend or foe

but is this real

or empty conviction?

just another good idea

because I'm a Christian?

just to make sure

i'll cut out my tongue

destroy the transducers

and make myself numb

destroy the transducers
