S.K.R.I.P.T. cover
11. Smokescreen
Album: S.K.R.I.P.T.
Artist: Benjiman
         
 

Once they know, then the secret is out
I gotta fight my way in through the perilous route
set aside my doubt, move away from fear
let ʻem know Iʼm back, and they ainʼt even near
more than would appear, any if not at all
try to fall in line but itʼs not influential
(when the battle begins it never seems to end
but Iʼm a stand in the gap until you say when)
This is more than an ending, less than resolution
I want to stop but you got me using
Any excuse to reduce and pay no mind
So alone, since I crossed my sand line
Drop me in the middle, hold me when Iʼm told
Deeper into descent, itʼs out of my control
Time and in this place, in case I never win
I want to be complete, but Iʼm at it again
Itʼs like a rock, itʼs a sound, look at everyone around
They can see that itʼs me cominʼ from the underground
Down from the gutter, where they utter the name
In case you didnʼt know, we all in it the same
How could I explain, no way to ever tell
Well into my prime, this time itʼs personal
I wanna battle but fold, just do what Iʼm told
Intention was not enough once sin took hold
You wanna tear me apart you wanna break me in two
But your smokescreenʼs something I can see right through
Why did you think, itʼs a plan that we keep, in pursuit of the only divine
All the pain we can take, then we always mistake, yours when in fact it is mine

Benjiman, Casey Mesurvey

Behind the Song:
'Sin is a Disease.......The Bible says sin full grown equals death...... Sin is sly, it almost seems like truth, or acceptable, until it swallows you whole and you feel trapped. I compare the deceit of a sinful life to a smokescreen the devil puts up for our entertainment. It's like a twisted puppet show we never realize were the star of until it's almost to late....almost....you see the devil may have tied marionettes to our arms and legs trying to kill us, but Jesus Christ steps into the middle of the show and cuts down every single binding rope. But we have to be willing to step away from the production. we have to be willing to see right through the smokescreen and enter into forgiveness and peace through Jesus Christ.' - Benjiman
