lyrics

govern not with your mind lest your greed overcome your resolve
govern not with your heart lest your love blind your eyes to their faults
govern not with your lusts lest you learn they're unmanageable
govern only yourself and the rest will all fall into place

and if your sight will distract, then dampen your eyes
if your hands will betray you, then tie them behind you
if your feet won't oblige you, then sit while you think

and your mind won't become you if you poison your brain
your body will fail you if you never abstain
and in the end it will kill you, but we all end that way

and your lungs won't refresh you if you steep them in smoke
your flesh will detest you crawling under your skin
your intestines infected will take nothing in

and your heart it will fail you as your arteries close
the elements assail you as you're chilled to the bone
but your will will prevail and your conscience will know

there was never an enemy
there was really only ever ourselves
that we wanted to be
that we'd been longing to be free of
