Blind these eyes who never tried 
 To lose temptation 
 I'm so scared, where's the hesitation? 
 You so easily proved that You could save a man 
 I am that man 

 CHORUS 

 It's better off this way 
 To be deaf, dumb and lame 
 Than to be the way I am, I am 
 It's better off this way 
 Than be groping for the flame 
 Than to be the way I am, I am 
 Still this tongue for I am hung 
 By this wicked notion 
 Tame the beast, release 
 The noose I've woven 
 O, wasted tears dripping from my tongue 
 Well I'm hung, hung 

 CHORUS 

 Crooked path you never asked 
 You just left me there 
 And I deal with the aftermath 
 And you don't even care 
 O, crooked feet you nimbly meet the place of my fears 

 CHORUS
