Dying to Self.

lyrics

Well I'm supposed to walk on water
But my ankles seem so wet
God I'm sinking in this altar, of my sin and my regret
And if your blood is still upon me
Then it's mixed into the sweat
Dripping on this, chapel floor again

My eyes are red and swollen
My debt of faith has come due
But here I'm standing on the righteousness
I've squandered in my youth
I hate the man it's made me
But my pitying is through
God, I'm putting all of it on you

Well it's strange to feel these bruises
Pain the knees on which I've knelt
It's bittersweet to feel the aches
I always should have felt
I've sworn I'm suicidal
But today I die to self
Crucify my flesh and failure, till' the cross he bore is one we share

And now there is more than teardrops
Left puddled on this floor
As skin and scales are peeling
From these eyes I've claimed were yours
And God, I'm so unworthy
Just like I was before
But whatever of my life that is left is yours.
