Closer to Myself

Digging deep, I feel my conscience burn

I need to know who and what I am

This hunger jolts me from complacency

Rocks me, and makes me meet myself



Jacob walked a limp to remind him

of the greater gift of the greater one

When I fell, I fell to my own resources

How can I carry your truths if I can't even crawl to you?



I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin

Cover me in leaves and roll me over again

Cause I've been everybody else, now I want to be

something closer to myself



Paint me in a different light

Shed me another coat of skin

Mark me with ash until I'm clean again

Cause I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired

I know I can love you, I know that I can



I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin

Cover me in leaves and roll me over again

Cause I've been everybody else, now I want to be

something closer to myself



I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin

Cover me in leaves and roll me over again

Cause I've been everybody else, now I want to be

something closer to myself



And I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin

Cover me in leaves and roll me over again

Cause I've been everybody else, now I want to be

something closer to myself
