Nothing can be done against the truth
|
No matter how we remain in denial, yeah
|
Wasting time
|
Replacing time
|
With each empty excuse
|
But that'll only work a little while
|
Coping with despair
|
Knowing you're not there
|
Ashamed to just admit
|
I've been a fool
|
So I blame it on the Sun
|
Run away from everyone
|
Hoping to escape this ridicule
|
Trapped in misery
|
Wrapped so miserably
|
In this deception that im wearing like a skin
|
|
Dying to mantain
|
Oh I keep trying to explain
|
A heart that never loved me to begin
|
Oh I'm such a mess
|
I have no choice but to confess
|
That I've been desperately trying to belong
|
Lying to myself
|
And everybody else
|
Refusing to admit my right was wrong
|
|
And then He came
|
Selah
|
And it means
|
Praise and meditation
|
And then He came
|
Selah
|
And it means
|
Did you think about that?
|
And then He came
|
Selah
|
Oh and it means
|
Praise and meditation
|
And then He came
|
Selah
|
Oh and it means
|
That it is sealed
|
|
How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?
|
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
|
This treason from within
|
That reasons with my sin
|
Won't be happy til it sees the death of me
|
Selfishly addicted
|
To a life that I depicted
|
Conflicted cuz it's not reality
|
Oh what's left of me
|
I beg you desperately
|
Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me
|
Please save me from myself
|
I need You to save me from myself
|
Please save me from myself so I can heal
|
|
The choices that Ive made
|
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
|
What a wasted use of space
|
Should I die before I wake?
|
In all of my religion
|
I've fortified this prison
|
Obligated to obey
|
The demands of bad decisions
|
|
Please save me from myself
|
I need You to save me from myself
|
Please save me from myself so I can heal
|
|
And then He came
|
Selah
|
And it means
|
Praise and meditation
|
And then He came
|
Selah
|
And it means
|
Did you think about that?
|
And He came
|
Selah
|
Oh and it means
|
Meditation
|
And then He came
|
Selah
|
Oh and it means
|
That it is sealed
|
|
And then He came
|
And then He came
|
Then He came, then He came, then He came
|
And then He came
|
