THE SKIN OF SIN

Skin of sin
This body is just like a cloth
I'm not this skin of sin
This body keeps craving 
For things that are sinful 
Emotionally craving for sex
Which is adultery without marriage.

My body keeps craving
For habits that consume me
The skin of sin
I always carry around 
Because I'm human
Can't be perfect 
Because we keep growing 
Learning from past mistakes.

Skin of sin
The more I change 
The more to change 
It's hard to keep distance 
From the things of the world 
I just wanna take a stance
But this skin of sin
Keeps dragging me back
Just like I'm in chains.
