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
