Via Con Dios (Go With God)

He has been living a lie
Fronting what society wants to see
Inside he is not this man
In his heart he wants to be free

Free of the oppression
That this world has imposed
There is no leniency here
All of their minds are closed

He is called bad cause he chose to detach
His mind from this frightening reality
It is said that he has no code or honor
That he is void of all morality

It is to this that he does reply
Fuck you society, you don't know
Walk a mile in my shoes
See what it's like in the shadow

To hide from all that is bright
For fear of being discovered
Of having all of your sins known
His tainted soul cannot be recovered

Ruined by the life he has lived
Wasted on the ways of the damned
His brain misfired and shorted out
It needs to be re-programmed

He is now just a hollow memory
His family can’t even recognize
The man they see in front of them
Helpless they just watch as he dies

Kept in the dark for most of their lives
He never let them know he was grieving
As the battle raged on inside his mind
His very own war was quite deceiving



The savagery of his life
Cannot be understood by many
To all that knew him
He was just happy ol’ Kenny

In truth it was very different
Inside the pain he felt was real
In the end he finally found
Freedom in the piercing cold steel

At last the pain was numb
No more tears would he cry
Finally he went with God
Alas he didn't say goodbye

Because you see up there
Way up in the clear blue sky
That's just where he likes to be
See he's not dead he's just high
