11.1.2013 NO INSULT LIKE THE TRUTH by charlie peacock

words to this song i found on his 'full circle' cd

1. i've run my ship aground
on the rocks of the soul
there's NO LIE LIKE INDEPENDENCE
there's NO DEMON LIKE CONTROL
i've fanned the burning embers
til my house was on fire
there's NO *PARODY LIKE POWER
(*when human power is not consciously trembling  before God Almighty,
it can easily become a humorous, satirical or woe-rather-than-weal-bringing attempt
at imitating the Real Thing.)
there's NO FEVER LIKE DESIRE

2.i've drained the wine of darkness
to the dregs of deceit
there's NO DRUG AS STRONG AS PRIDE
NO BLINDNESS LIKE DECEIT (last 2 lines 2x)

3. i've railed against a mountain
with a pick ax and a file
there's NO MINEFIELD LIKE PRESUMPTION
there's NO DEATH WISH LIKE DENIAL

4. there's NO GUNSHOT LIKE CONVICTION
there's NO CONSCIENCE BULLETPROOF
there's NO STRENGTH LIKE UTTER WEAKNESS
there's NO INSULT LIKE THE TRUTH

5. i've adjusted my prescription
til i couldn't trust my vision
there's NO KILLER LIKE CONVENIENCE
there's NO SICKNESS LIKE OMISSION

6. i've amended resolutions
and resisted explanation
there's NO KILLER LIKE CONVENIENCE
there's NO SICKNESS LIKE OMISSION

7. i've amended resolutions
and resisted explanation
there's NO TRAPDOOR LIKE EMOTION
there's NO PIT LIKE REPUTATION
there's NO CANCER LIKE AMBITION
there's NO CURE LIKE CRUCIFIXION (last 2 lines 2x)
