Naked In Disgrace
I fell into lust again
And in the deepest parts of me
there's things I can never unsee
I try to drink away the pain
But I swear it's driving me insane
Am I a victim to lust
Or am I the one with the loaded gun
That you should never trust
Is it ok to say that I'm scared
Is it wrong to admit that I know you cared
But when it was all said and done
I was never there
I'm a prisoner of my mind
And the pain inflates with time
Most nights I wish I never knew existence
When I try to do what's right
I fall under the resistance
I've lost the words to pray
I'm digging up the dirt
To create my own grave
I've lost the light of grace
Laying naked in disgrace
How can I dream of becoming a better man
When i can't summon the strength to stand
God
Why have I forsaken you
You say forgive them for they know not what they do
But what if that's just it
What if I know what I do
Still I seek the road of lies
When I know the truth
Please tell me why I can't change
Please I'm begging you
I'm so tired of living in chains
I long to know joy
I long to feel peace
But at the end of the day
All I know is deceit
I surrender my all
Please catch me when I fall
