Misappropriated your love
Just to justify the flesh (Why) (Why)
My tongue is crooked, skew and forked
I’m a liar filled with jealousy and pride (Why, Justify) (Jealousy and Pride)
Oh how I have sunk weighted down with regret and iniquity
I placed myself upon a pedestal to be worshipped
How much more grey could I be?
The previous times when I let you down
When I was down I wore my own crown
Now that the sound of the voice of God
Will tear us apart and we will start again
Lie to myself keep this book on a shelf
The greatest story that’s never been heard
Because I failed to write it
I have betrayed the ones I love with hidden malice
Oh God how I have failed me
I slammed this nail into this coffin
And the greatest story I wrote will eat me alive
Let it eat me alive
Eat me alive
In the mirrored sands my reflections fade to dust
This image of me fading fast
And this fading infection leads me to see
The affection of God in me
Now behold reflect that reflection
Give a clear, unfaded distinction
And let the world, let the world see
How a son was meant to be
Please release us from this pain we created for ourselves and everyone else
Let our souls run free as you blood ran free for me.
We cry out
We will start again
Oh how I’ve fallen, I’ve become all I hate Misappropriated your love Just to justify the flesh (Why) (Why) My tongue is crooked, skew and forked I’m a liar filled with jealousy and pride (Why, Justify) (Jealousy and Pride) Oh how I have sunk weighted down with regret and iniquity I placed myself upon a pedestal to be worshipped How much more grey could I be?
