Burn This Skin

Help me burn this skin I can’t believe all the hollow lies I’ve burnt in It’s as if there’s a special place in hell For the sins that I have held I’ve betrayed the innocence of what I used to be It’s so funny to realize how perspective changes everything We keep lying to ourselves and blame it on anything, on anything Feeding off of drama like a parasite feeds on blood of death We kill ourselves from the inside just to be like the rest Help me burn this skin I can’t believe all the hollow lies I’ve burnt in It’s as if there’s a special place in hell For the sins that I have held I’ve betrayed the innocence of what I used to be Men use love just to get sexual pleasure Degrading beauty, we slowly lose our treasure Women giving themselves away to be loved Yet they still get disposed of God, what have we done Please take us back to where we begun Help me burn this skin I can’t believe all the hollow lies I’ve burnt in It’s as if there’s a special place in hell For the sins that I have held I’ve betrayed the innocence of what I used to be God, I’m screaming out for you In a world of pain, I thirst for truth I beg for more, for more than this I’ve lived life in the worst abyss I need my Father’s embrace I need to be saved by grace
