Subtle Approach - Sandpeople

Around my crew

I’ll be giving myself a bad rap

My blasphemy is a show off tool

And I’m a natural at being offensive

Y’all know the name

I call myself Ethic

But I act out in vain

Went from down for the cause

To down for the count

Now I’m down for the experience

I’m instilling doubt

In the hearts of those

That don’t use their head

This is a cathartic flow

And the voice of the mislead

Conditioning is so hard to reverse

I know there’s something out there

But they got to me first

Space is too expansive

For us to be alone

I know our kingdom’s too amazing

To have a vacant throne

But who sits upon the chair

And determines which of us

Will be burning or spared

Why can’t that person

Make the answer clear

Why the hell would a god rely on fear?

I’m one step closer on this path and I ask

How many more steps before

I even have half of a grasp?

Where anguish meets the abyss

And any other place that made you

Felt like this

I’m one step closer on this path and I ask

How many more steps before

I even have half of a grasp?

Where anguish meets the abyss

And any other place that made you

Felt like this

Yo I feared for a while

I was here in denial

Of the holy spirit

All them years as a child

I’m trying to turn the page

Become a man

Like corinthians

But with understanding

Innocence fades

And they say that you created

This place in six days

And all the rested

Impressed with your invention

But the serpent’s working overtime

To tempt us with its presence

So you took the form of man

As Christ to send us a message of

Love and forgiveness

But I wasn’t there to witness it

And two thousand years later

It’s almost as if it’s just a mith

I came to grips with it

Painted the abyss vivid

It means atheist agonstic lost

Baited fish swimming

Living in the name of

'Till this pagans all win

But evolution only explains the obvious

Not why there’s anguish in my soul

When your face is just a glow

From below the murky waters

That I sank so far below

I’m one step closer on this path

And I ask

How many more steps before

I even have half of a grasp?

Where anguish meets the abyss

And any other place that made you

Felt like this

I’m one step closer on this path

And I ask

How many more steps before

I even have half of a grasp?

Where anguish meets the abyss

And any other place that made you

Felt like this

I watch as anguish

Turns into anger

With questions directed

At a baby

And how a subtle approach

Can cause disarray and prevent

A whole lot of souls

From getting saved

I could care less

How a gentleman behaves

You’re a savior

I expect more effort to be made

On my behalf

Give me more than a sign

Make yourself a presence

That I can’t deny

This isn’t a challenge

It’s me asking you

From a humbled state

Exactly what I have to do

'cause right now

I’m not all that impressed

That we are born with desires

The favor, the flesh

Sometimes It feel you’re abscent

From my life im asking you why

I see your one pair of footprints

On the sand is it mine?

or yours?

I’m trying to follow the course

Highly endorsed but sometimes

It’s either the bible

From battle im torn

What to do I’m just human

Consuming too much

I do clutch on to the idea

That I’ll see you someday

I pray my sins are forgave

But shit just gets in the way

The snake sheds its skin

My face strecthes thin

'bout to give in and break down

But haven’t yet

And thats evidence for me

You exist even though

We haven’t met

This path has been rough

But in your passion I trust

You will carry me through this

The footprint is actually us
