  • Peace is what they tell me
    Love, am I unholy?
    Lies are what they tell me
    Despise you that control me

    The peace is dead in my soul
    I have blamed the reasons for
    My intentions poor
    Yes, I'm the one who
    The only one who
    Would carry on this far

    Torn, I'm filthy
    Born in my own misery
    Stole all that you gave me
    Control, you claim you save me

    The peace is dead in my soul
    I have blamed the reasons for
    My intentions poor
    Yes, I'm the one who
    The only one who
    Would carry on this far

    Peace in my head
    Love in my head
    Lies, lies, lies, lies in my head

    The peace is dead in my soul
    I have blamed the reasons for
    My intentions poor
    Yes, I'm the one who
    The only one who
    Would carry on this far

    The peace is dead in my soul
    I have blamed the reasons for
    My intentions poor
    Yes, I'm the one who
    The only one who
    Would carry on this far Writer/s: Mark Tremonti, Scott Stapp

  • Trevor P from IndianaIn scott stapp's book "sinner's creed" he says that this song was entirely written by Mark Tremonti as his version of my own prison. He says Mark wrote all the lyrics and all the music for this song.
  • Zero from Nowhere, NjOne of my aquintences said he didn't like Creed because "the singer was homeless for 2 days and now he has the blues" I guess he was talking about this song. (the person in question spent a few years homeless)
  • Joseph from Toastville, OhNo actually Scott Stapp wrote most of the songs. Good day.
  • Erin from Madtown, WiActually Stapp didn't write most of this song. It was mostly written by Mark Tremonti (as were most Creed songs)
  • Tony from Woogowoogaa, Australiasome of the lines in the song refer to additional anguish he suffered when his mother failed to pack his lunch one morning.
