Uhh, you I, umm,
|
I know I just got out of rehab, but uh,
|
I actually need to be checked back in. Yeah.
|
I didn't think this was gonna happen to me... man...
|
|
Feel like I'm back in that dark place
|
Somewhere in between a rock and a hard place
|
And I ain't doin nothin' bad, I'm just doin' bad
|
Feelin' empty when I got more than I done ever had
|
So I'ma do what I do best when I feel depressed
|
Go ahead and let my pen bleed out the stress
|
In the margins, me and wifey arguin'
|
I don't remember why, but basically I ain't washin' her in Ephesians 5
|
She get out of line, I don't show her grace
|
I get a pen and I trace her
|
Now we need an eraser
|
|
I'm like, God, give me a sermon or a verse
|
Anything to break the curse; I feel like it's getting worse
|
But it's like for every step up in the right direction
|
Come with two swift punches to my midsection
|
I get discouraged and I question is it really worth it
|
Maybe tryin' to change the world isn't really my purpose
|
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is, though
|
Now the kids know
|
I'm not a hero, but I know somebody who is, though
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it's very true
|
And if it's scaring you
|
Look in the mirror, see my reflection instead of you
|
|
I can settle and be suburban, put down the Spurgeon
|
Be concerned with keepin' my home furnished
|
Now my fire burns only for my own advancement
|
Forget a passion for the pastors in Sudan
|
The kids in Afghanistan, who be losin' their dads
|
They took a stand, saying that Christ is more than a man
|
Man, I got the blues
|
I ain't got a clue how to get 'em another hue
|
|
All I wanna do is escape with a cold brew
|
Go to sleep and wake up and pretend that it's all cool
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But ain't no quick fix on the wish list
|
Trials make you better while they make you sick, yeah
|
I was dyin' to try
|
Now I'm dying from trying
|
Now I'm trying to die
|
To the lies I'm buying
|
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it is, though
|
Now the kids know
|
I'm not a hero, but I know somebody who is, though
|
I wish it wasn't true
|
But it's very true
|
And if it's scaring you
|
Look in the mirror, see my reflection instead of you
|
|
How come I wait till I'm downcast and gray
|
Before I think, Lecrae, you may wanna pray
|
You may wanna walk in that library
|
Get one of them commentaries
|
See what them old dudes got to say
|
But it's easy to push play on the YouTube video or the Vimeo
|
Escape from the menial, letting all these subliminal messages
|
Wash me, watch me as I watch these
|
People tell me what I can purchase just to wash these
|
Blues away, functional savior, I'm getting mine
|
It's $19.99 for a limited time
|
Besides, after that I'm sure that I'll be feeling fine
|
- Ok, I'm lying. Really I'm just dying to try.
|
And for the 55th time times 9
|
I'm disappointed looking for anything but the divine
|
Save me from what I'm feelin' inside, it's like a crime
|
How I end up in the same place every single time
|
