Song#: 5
Album 42) Karma
Name of Song: Accept your punishment!!
You try, you try,
But they don’t stop,
Those memories chasing you,
Violence hard to speak about,
Embarrassed because of who.
You sorta recall the details,
You suddenly feel the pain,
They were so much bigger than you
And they did it again and again.
They said you were so very bad,
Accept your punishment!,
Submitting to what they think is wrong,
Feels degrading when repent.
Chorus
How do you stay ahead of all
those memories chasing you,
How do you remain yourself
from traumas that they do.
How do you stay ahead of all
those memories chasing you,
How do you remain yourself
from traumas that they do.

You probably have a memory,
Of someone hurting you,
Righteous plain ‘ole’ evil that
molds the later things you do.
You try to lead a good life,
One that calms your mind,
But those memories keep on chasing you
and ruin your *sublime.

Righteous plain ‘ole’ evil that

You try to lead a good life,
One that calms your mind,
But those memories keep on chasing you
and ruin your sublime.
Welcome to the reactive mind,
That part that stores the crap,
Of all those things that chase you round
and keep you under wraps.

*sublime – the eternal goodness of you before all those additives
