Running from my past transgressions

Hands drenched in sin

Struggling to find my words and

Where to begin

Would you grace me with your presence?

Can I be atoned?

There has to be another way

To live on my own

A reason to feel

A reason to breathe

All that I need to believe

Now I'm beginning to understand

What I've become, what I have done

No longer bound by your

False sense of virtue

And everything you took for granted

All the days, all the time

Every mistake you fault as mine

All the blood, the sweat, the tears

I've left it all behind

Upon this cross I'm left to bleed

Grant me the strength to be set free

A reason to feel

A reason to breathe

All that I need to

Become what you always

Wanted from me, am I

All that you need to believe?

My crown of thorns for all to see

Grant me the strength to be set free

Try to let it go

Leave me on my own

Try to let it go

Leave me on my own

A reason to feel

A reason to breathe

All that I need to

Become what you always

Wanted from me, am I

All that you need to believe?

Unbound truths bleed through palms

Your actions speak louder than words

Relinquish your soul to

The doctrines set by a false God

A reason to feel

A reason to breathe

All that I need to

Become what you always

Wanted from me

All that I need to

(be free)

A reason to feel

A reason to breathe

All that we need to believe

My crown of thorns for all to see

Grant me the strength to be set free

Left to bleed

Grant me strength

I will be

Soon set free
