Selah

Lyrics

Nothing can be done against the truth
 No matter how we remain in denial (Yeah)
 Wasting time
 Replacing time
 With each empty excuse
 But that'll only work a little while
 Coping with despair
 Knowin' 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 that I'm wearin' it like a skin
 Dying to maintain
 Oh I keep trying to explain
 A 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
 Oh and it means
 Praise and Meditation
 And then he came
 Selah
 Oh and it means
 Did ya think about that?
 And then he came
 Selah
 Oh and it means
 Praise and Meditation
 And then he came
 Selah
 Oh and it means
 That it is seen
 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 'cause it's not reality
 Oh what's left of me
 I beg you desperately
 Cause me to agree to 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've 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 so I can heal
 And then he came
 Selah
 Oh and it means
 Praise and Meditation
 And then he came
 Selah
 Oh and it means
 Did ya think about that?
 And he came
 Selah
 Oh and it means
 Meditation
 And then he came
 Selah
 Oh and it means
 That it is seen
 ♪
 And then he came
 And then he came
 Then he came
 Then he came
 And then he
 And then he came
