Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all my mercy down, down, down
I want to see you try to take a swing at me, come on
Gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying when you're dirty in the front of me
All, all my hate cannot be bound
(Hate cannot be bound)
I will not be drowned
(I will not be drowned)
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down?
(Try to tear me down)
Beat me to the ground
(Beat me to the ground)
I will see you screaming
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling as you, drown, drown, drown
I wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger and you're down, down, down
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny
What the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying, when you're dirty in the front of me
All, all my hate cannot be bound
(Hate cannot be bound)
I will not be drowned
(I will not be drowned)
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
(Try to tear me down)
Beat me to the ground
(Beat me to the ground)
I will see you screaming
All my friends are gone
They died
(Gonna take you down)
They all screamed and cried
(Gonna take you down)
I never forget
Never forget
I can't get no where
I never forget
Never forget
(Gonna take you down)
I can't get
I never forget
Never forget
I can't get no where
I never forget
Never forget
(Gonna take you down)
I can't get
I never forget
Never forget
I can't get no where
I never forget
Never forget
(Gonna take you down)
I can't get
I never forget
Never forget
I can't get no where
I never forget
Never forget
I can't get
All, all my hate cannot be bound
(Hate cannot be bound)
I will not be drowned
(I will not be drowned)
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
(Try to tear me down)
Beat me to the ground
(Beat me to the ground)
I will see you screaming
All, all my hate cannot be bound
(Hate cannot be bound)
I will not be drowned
(I will not be drowned)
By your thoughtless scheming
So you can try to tear me down
(Try to tear me down)
Beat me to the ground
(Beat me to the ground)
I will see you screaming

All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
No, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground, I will see you screaming
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
Pushing all the mercy down, down, down
Wanna see you try to take a swing at me
Come on, gonna put you on the ground, ground, ground
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny, what the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying when you're bloody down in front of me
All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
No, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground, I will see you screaming
Thumbing through the pages of my fantasies
I'm above you, smiling at you drown, drown, drown
Wanna kill and rape you the way you raped me
And I'll pull the trigger and you're down, down, down
Why are you trying to make fun of me?
You think it's funny, what the fuck you think it's doing to me?
You take your turn lashing out at me
I want you crying when you're bloody down in front of me
All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
No, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground, I will see you screaming
All my friends are gone, they died
They all screamed and cried
I'm gonna take you down, gonna take you down
Gonna take you down, gonna take you down
All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
No, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground, I will see you screaming
All of my hate cannot be bound
I will not be drowned by your thoughtless scheming
No, you can try to tear me down
Beat me to the ground, I will see you screaming

Much of the songwriting for 'Sin' can be broken up into three parts. A few songs were written shortly after Mindsize was recorded, during various tours, etc.. A large majority of the songs were written in the two weeks preceding our recording dates - in our church youth room. The final few songs were written in the studio, "on-the-fly" or something like that. This song is one of the few that I have distinct memories of us writing in the two weeks before recording started. It came like a shot. The guys came up with the music - moody and powerful, and I slipped out of the room to write some lyrics. Like many of our songs, I don't remember *actually* writing the lyrics, but I know that these words came quickly - very quickly. Maybe that's part of the reason that I've always liked this song so much.
I think that the words of this song flow as good as any that we have. I don't think there was much mystery as to the message here - at least I hope not. What does it boil down to? Simple. No matter what material possessions we have, excessive smarts that we claim, or good acts that we have made - it means nothing without Christ. The chorus is interesting in that it can almost represent how someone might take stock of their own life and their own actions - a dime for my good actions, a nickel for the good things that I could do, and a quarter for my good intentions! In the end, we're left poor despite all of these things if we do not have the Savior.
in my money, i was at home
to the beggar, i was so cold
in my pockets, all that i could hold
as i left here, this was all i was told...
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a quarter for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
oh my, how poor
as a thinker, i was so loud
in my wisdom, i was profound
as i left here, this was the sound...
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a quarter for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
oh my, how poor
oh my Lord
by my own way, i felt very near
when it shook me, this was all
