The Sinner (Repent)

I’ve been fighting demons I don’t let anyone know about

A war within my mind that breaks and breaks me down

Me versus me and I’m all weary and worn out

And my heart is filled up filled with doubt

I’m not the same soldier as I was before

My scars became my weakness

I can barley stand on the floor…

The weight that binds me, binds me to my grave

That I dug with unrelenting bleakness

Overflowing with my mistakes

When did I become so afraid

So disconnected from my old ways

So distant yet so close to my shame

Can you just take it away!

The feeling is all but faded within

Instead of counting my blessings, I’m counting my sins

I need to change this life I live

Cause I alone, cannot win

God, I need you, now

Please, save me, before I drown

I want to be better than what I’ve been

Don’t let this be the end

I’ve spent years trying to erase the pain

Only to end up with more shame

Will I ever find, the cure for my life

Or will it just eat me alive

As much as it kills me to say it

I’m not happy and I hate it

I’m not the same as I use to be

And it’s showing in everything

How can you forgive me, when I can’t forgive myself

Knowing I keep making my own hell

The guilt is more, more than I can bare

With no room inside for my faith

The harder I fight, the easier I get nowhere

Surrounded by my mistakes

I’m severed by self betrayal

The storm in me has me set to fail

I need to change this life I live

Cause I alone, cannot win

God, I need you, now

Please, save me, before I drown

I want to be better than what I’ve been

Don’t let this be the end

(I can’t do this anymore)

Take it, take it, take it out of sight

Out of sight, out of mind

Take it, take it, take it, out of sight

Out of sight, out of mind

Take it, take it, take it out of sight

Out of sight, out of mind

Take it, take it, take it, out of sight

Out of sight, out of mind

God, I need you, now

Please, save me, before I drown

I want to be better than what I’ve been

Don’t let this be the end

Don’t let this be the end

Rebuild me, (take it out of sight)

Restore my peace of mind

Redeem me, (take it out of mind)

So I too can fly

(Don’t let this be the end)

Rebuild me, (take it out of sight)

Restore my peace of mind

Redeem me, (take it out of mind)

So I too can fly

My own destruction is what saved me

From the creation of a life I never wanted

The page has turned, and I am sure

I can do all things through Christ

Who gives the strength to endure

The victim in me is dead,

For I am reborn
