Deprieve.

Cut off that vine, yes cut it off.

When the thirst becomes unbearble and

pain spreads like wildfire

   You'll know that this is your appointment

And you are one inch closer

To that kingdom you long to see.



Deprieve.

Don't look behind, don't look down

You've already come so far, oh proud one.

If you give up, give in, and give away

I could no longer stay by your side

You are getting closer, oh so close

To that kingdom that wants to greet you.



Deprieve.

There is nothing out there

You shudder and tremble

And sniff the luxurious air

Wanting to go a little bit further

A little bit deeper

I can tell you are giving in.



Dedicate.

Take off your head.

Put it by your side.

And sit.

It won't be long.



Deprieve.

You exist, persist, and resist.

There is something for you I promise.

I don't see you smiling and I don't know why.

It's too late to go back.

You can't turn back the tide,

You can't keep fire from burning,

You can't keep water from flowing,

But try.

Promise me you will try.
