Tearing At My Skin
For my friend Dylan R.
This sin
Is crawling
Under my skin
I try to take control
But this is slowly
Killing my soul
My past haunts
Haunts every part of me
I always try to hide it
But you always bring it out
For everyone to see
Love is so hard to see
And I cry with every single plea
When trust seems to walk away
The people I love seem so far away
I try to turn away from this place
Cause all I see is hate
Hope seems so far out of reach
Still everyone seems to preach
Is there a way out of this
Was this a poison kiss
This addiction is killing me
Death is all I see
Tearing at my skin
Lost in this sin
Please take me out
I’m drowning in doubt
Love is so hard to see
And I cry with every single plea
When trust seems to walk away
The people I love seem so far away
Please don’t remind me of my past
My guilt will always last
I’ve shot myself in the back
Perfection will always lack
I need a God that will save me
White as snow
He has forgiven me
Love is so hard to see
And I cry with every single plea
When trust seems to walk away
The people I love seem so far away
