Immortal Technique - Crimes Of The Heart lyrics
rate me<BR>
Yea I turned 21 in prison locked up at night<br>
Now I walk around free seems like another life<br>
Another roll with some other dice<br>
Another ho or a loving wife<br>
People come and go some really you never know<br>
Intellectual midgets that really never grow<br>
Fake love that holds on like"can I hold you though?"<br>
And old friends will look at you like "yo, yea I told you so"<br>
A toast to the broken hearted<br>
Who never finished what they fuckin started<br>
People who go out and try to be a rebel at night<br>
Try to make up for the fact that they settled in life<br>
It's like a fight between the devil & Christ over the limelight<br>
Spiritual celebrity boaker<br>
But the whole deck is full of jokers<br>
And every year that you get older<br>
The stakes get higher<br>
Gambling with a bunch of fakes and liars<br>
Real talk 'cause the real New York<br>
Is the pain and the suffering of lost love<br>
Staring off into the distance in the midst of the club<br>
Depression and emptiness that lead to suicide<br>
And the struggle inside of yourself that keeps you alive<br>
Survived and medicated stalked by sobriety<br>
The life that you live now tortured by memories violently<br>
I pray in sodomy that one day you could be forgiven<br>
For murdering the beautiful world we used to live in<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus]</i><br>
Crimes of the heart <i>[2X]</i><br>
<br>
Love...doesn't need a complicated metaphor<br>
And sometimes nothing needs to be said at all<br>
Sometimes a person you with is not your one and only<br>
And you just fuck with them because you afraid to be lonely<br>
And when you come back its too late<br>
So you overcompensate<br>
Like victims of rape<br>
Full of self hate<br>
Lost in the affection to strangers around you<br>
Instead of the only person that ever gave a fuck about you<br>
Thought you were happy so you didn't come check me<br>
But then when he cheated or treated you incorrectly<br>
You conveniently realized you could never forget me<br>
And tried to crawl back in my life unexpectedly<br>
These are my indictments<br>
Of those who claim to be righteous<br>
And leave a trail of broken hearts on their way to enlightment<br>
But I cant give into hatred or pass judgment<br>
Even towards every allusion I've been in love with<br>
'cause the heart that portrays itself willingly<br>
Is like a nation that trades freedom for stability<br>
Its so seductive to be cold and corrupted and isolated and try to be an independent republic<br>
But liberty to be loved on the surface is worthless<br>
The sacrifice of revolution with no purpose<br>
Take it from a criminal searching for his redemption<br>
Cursing at God desperately trying to get his attention<br>
<br>
<i>[Chorus]</i><br>
Crimes of the heart <i>[2x]</i><br>
Looking for the shining light<br>
Who's it gonna be? Who'll walk the line with me tonight?<br>
Round we go (won't cross?) climbing through the endless night<br>
Who's it gonna be? Who'll walk the line with me this time? (me this time oooh oooh oooh)<br>
Climbing through the endless night (endless night, endless night)<br>
<BR><BR>
<BR>
