Betwixt In Between My Soul
HOW DO I TURN FROM MY WICKED WAYS?
I DON'T WANT TO GO ASTRAY
BACK TO THOSE AWFUL DAYS
BUT WOE UNTO ME IF I STAY
BOUND IN THIS SIN I LAY
WHATSO EVER I SOW I SHALL REAP
BUT KNOWING, HOW DO I GO CALLING?
CALLING FOR MY LOVER THAT'S DEAD TO MY BODY
CALLING FOR DEATH TO COME TAKE ME INTO FOLLY
WHY MY HEART LONG? WHAT DO IT LONG FOR?
I USE TO KNOW, BUT WHAT'S TRULY THERE
TRAPPED BETWEEN GOD AND MY LOVE AFFAIR
HOW LONG WILL THIS LAST? HOW OFTEN WILL TEARS BE MY PAST...
PRESENT AND FUTURE. MY ILLUSIONS ARE TAKING CONTROL OF ME
NO MORE SECRETS CAN BOIL ON THE INSIDE OF ME
I CAN'T TAKE IT, I WON'T OUT OF THIS TRAP
BUT DOUBTFUL, SCARED I'LL BE BACK CRYING FOR HELP.
I KNOW ANSWERS, I KNOW THE JUDGMENT
I'M BETWIXT IN BETWEEN MY SOUL
LIFE OR DEATH
HELP ME NOT TO TURN DOWN YOUR HELP
HELP ME NOT TO FALL IN HIS TRAPS
I'M WEAK AND NEED YOUR STRENGTH
TRAPPED IN BETWIXT LIFE OR DEATH
