Sinner in Your Eyes

Intro (Spoken – Gravelly)

Yeah…

I ain’t holy

But I ain’t heartless

⸻

Verse 1 (Dark Rap – 16 bars)

I’m sorry I’m a sinner in your eyes

Guess my truth don’t fit inside your lines

We believe different, yeah I get that

But we bleed the same when the knife cuts back

I don’t hide behind a Sunday smile

I don’t quote scripture just to feel divine

I don’t wear a mask, don’t live a lie

What you see is what you get — that’s my life

I got dirt on my hands, pain in my past

But I ain’t ashamed of the scars I have

I ain’t perfect, I don’t claim to be

Just tryin’ hard to be good to the souls I meet

⸻

Chorus (Big, Emotional – Jelly Roll Style)

I’m sorry I’m a sinner in your eyes

But I don’t live in disguise

I don’t point fingers, I don’t throw stones

I just try to walk straight on my own

I ain’t religious, but I still believe

In lovin’ folks and lettin’ ‘em breathe

If that makes me lost in your view

Then I’ll wear that truth — I’m sorry to you

⸻

Verse 2 (Country-Rap Blend – 12 bars)

We’re the same soul, different roads

Different prayers, same heavy load

You talk heaven, I talk now

But we both just tryin’ not to let folks down

I seen hate dressed up in holy light

Sharpest tongues say they livin’ right

Sometimes demons wear angel skin

And judge the world while they drown in sin

I don’t need a pulpit to know what’s right

I don’t need fear to sleep at night

I just try to leave this place

A little less dark than the shape I came

⸻

Chorus (Repeat – Fuller, Choir Pad Feel)

I’m sorry I’m a sinner in your eyes

But I don’t live in disguise

I don’t wear crosses just to be seen

I carry my faith in how I treat

I ain’t religious, but I still believe

In standin’ up and doin’ right by me

If grace ain’t found where I stand

Then I’ll take the fall — I know who I am

⸻

Bridge (Stripped Back – Spoken/Sung)

If God’s real, He knows my heart

Knows my flaws, knows where I start

I don’t need you to let me in

I already made peace with Him

⸻

Final Chorus (Big, Dark, Emotional)

I’m sorry I’m a sinner in your eyes

But I won’t fake a halo for a lie

I live my truth, I pay my dues

I don’t preach love — I prove it too

Call me broken, call me wrong

I still sleep good when the lights are gone

If your heaven’s built on fear and pride

Then I’ll stay here — a sinner in your eyes

⸻

Outro (Low, Fade)

Yeah…

I ain’t holy

But I’m honest
