Destroying Transduction

Cool Hand Luke

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
