I've said all my "hail mary's" and I've recited all the right prayers.
I've done a lot in the name of god to gain this solace from your stares.
So break bread as I take unholy communion once more.
As righteous as filthy rags bleeding on the floor.
I'm sitting ripe, sitting fresh in my mire.
Behold the poison untold.
I've tried to show the world just how great a man can be,
But this great man I've charaded is the farthest thing from me.
The man that I've shown is a man I don't know.

So shall it be: sown lies shall reap.
Honor has died with integrity.

What can I say?
That I've lived what I've told?
They bought me, but I hate the manner through which I was sold.
I know exactly what to do, I know exactly what to say, I believe every word
It's just so hard to obey: trojan horse lies filled with big butterflies and they bought me.
They took the bate.
Hook, line and false, flaky, dimple-creased smile.
Sit back and enjoy the show!
I'll have you hooked too, in just a little while.

So shall it be: sown lies shall reap.
Honor has died with integrity.

I've lived all these lies.
No more compromising.
I know what to do.
I know what to say.
I believe every word; it's just so hard to obey!
I know what I've created, this mess that shadows me, it leaves my conscious tainted!
I want authenticity, integrity.
Jesus, forgive me.

So shall it be: sown lies shall reap.
Honor has died with integrity.
My honor has died with my integrity.

    my honor has died with my integrity... I think this song is about a person that is saved but has not been living what he says he believes and he sees it and is wanting to change it but doesn't know how and the person he is now is a man he doesn't know " I've lived these lies no more compromising" he is trying to come back to God and what he believes "I believe every word its just so had to obey"

    "I wrote these lyrics during a really low spiritual point. My public life onstage revolved around encouraging others to work hard to overcome their struggles. My private life, the one I was truly living, did not come close. I was at a very hypocritical place, and I knew that my character was suffering because of it. These lyrics served as my accountability to make the two lives one. I want to be a man of integrity at all times, whether I’m around people or no one at all." - Darin Keim (Staple)
