Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. It is generally a personal choice to uphold oneself to consistent moral and ethical standards.
In ethics, integrity is regarded by many people as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. Integrity can stand in opposition to hypocrisy, in that judging with the standards of integrity involves regarding internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding within themselves apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.
The word integrity evolved from the Latin adjective integer, meaning whole or complete. One facet of the definition of integrity is "wholeness or completeness.
A value system's abstraction depth and range of applicable interaction may also function as significant factors in identifying integrity due to their congruence or lack of congruence with observation. A value system may evolve in a while, while retaining integrity if those who espouse the values account for and resolve inconsistencies.

Blind overwhelmed completion as your desires and atrocities
(come to pass) exposing your soul to weakness
all set deep beneath leaded glass
[chorus:]
Precious flesh and greed beyond your hopes
beyond your dreams
Hollow (curse)
fire in me
I can't feel
I can't breathe
Together externally boxed
in flesh entirely
Fulfillment of your pride self absorbed, never, ever satisfied
Visions of depth and confusion entangled with disturbance
and sin A time is called for atonement as this nightmare comes to an end.
[chorus]
In the blackened heart of all your fears circling around,
