Nothing can be done against the truth No matter how we remain in denial Wasting time, replacing time With each empty excuse But that'll only last a little while Coping with despair Knowing you're not there Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool So I blame it on the Son Run away from everyone Hoping to escape this ridicule Trapped in misery Wrapped so miserably in this deception I wear it like a skin Dying to maintain Oh I keep trying to explain This heart that never loved me to begin Oh I'm such a mess I have no choice but to confess That I've been desperately trying to belong Lying to myself and everybody else Refusing to admit my right was wrong And then he came Selah And it means praise and meditation And then he came Selah And it means... did you think about that? And then he came Selah And it means praise and meditation And then he came Selah And it means that it is received How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots My guilty heart behaves so foolishly This treason from within that reasons with my sin Won't be happy til it sees the death of me Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted Conflicted cuz it's not reality Oh what's left of me? I beg you desperately- Cause me to agree with what I know is best for me Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself So I can heal The choices that I make Oh have been nothing but mistakes What a wasted use of space Should I die before I wake? In all of my religion I fortified this prison Obligated to obey the demands of bad decision Please save me from myself I need you to save me from myself Please save me from myself I need you to save me from my self so I can heal And then he came Selah...and it means praise and medtitation And then he came Selah... and it means did you think about that? And then he came Selah... and it means meditation And then he came Selah... and it means that is is received And then he came
