lyrics

The world has ended. It’s raining embers
And all I’m left with is all I’ve done.
I was so much better but caved to pressure
To hide who I’ve become.

I’m not perfect, and I don’t wanna be.
I just wanna live and make everyday worth living
Now, I just wanna give all I have and be more giving.
But lately it’s my grip that is worn and I keep slipping.
I keep wishing that when it’s time His plans will line up.
The skies will light up and I will rise up.
And God will not judge me based on my flaws
But based on my love. I wish this because yeah

A day will come when all this is all gone
time I spent deflecting my wrongs will be
Done. Let me face them like the man I wanna be.
I wanna own up to the moments that don’t reflect me. What I say should align with all I believe in
All that I do should too. True to teaching.
It’s who I am. And so here I stand.
I’ll change what I can. Accept what I can’t.

When the times comes, to identify our demons,
Clean out the closet and sweep out the secrets,
Sky’s turning orange and air seems uneven,
I hope I got a good reason...
To defend what I did, even more what I didn’t.
Every minute that I hid in my invented image
Was the catalyst, the wall, that kept my best hidden.
I’ve been battling this call, like I didn’t know

The air is heavy. The streets are empty.
It’s time to let me face who I was
I just pray you rest me in your best memory
When all is said and done.

You know at some point, I’m gonna need to admit it.
Though I did it in the dark, it won’t always keep it hidden.
Even if I get away, it doesn’t mean that I’ma get it.
Can deny and lie about my life but I’m the one that’s living in it.
Give it a minute. If I give in to the habit
It’s a matter of a minute til I notice that I added to the
List of my actions that I wish that I hadn’t.
Man... I wish that I hadn’t.

But I did and I now it’s time that I own it.
Live and learn and act like I know what’s
Right. Release the darkness I hold
Inside so I can in time let go.
Let light create the life that I’ve wanted.
Truth and lies can fight all they want but
I’m the one deciding what I want
Well... What do I want?
