I am at war with myself, things never seem to change
Every time I win this fight, I wake to find myself in chains
Over and over and over again
Over and over still I cannot win
This war has dragged on for so many years
That I will not overcome is my biggest fear
I do what I don't want, and don't do what I want to do
This dichotomy is killing me. Thank God for a Savior
I am a liar and a hypocrite
The chief of sinners
Please save me from myself
I am my own worst enemy
What I hate most wells up from within
Everything from my former self
Is holding me back, is promoting my sin
All the good I want to do
Is left to die as I give in
All the еvil desensitizes
My most еffective anodyne
[Dan Gray]
I need to fight this evil
I need to accept the truth
That Christ came into the world to save its sinners
Of whom I am the worst
I am the worst of sinners
I am shown mercy so that in me
His patience is on full display
So why is my spirit at war, why can’t I follow his way
I am at war with myself
It's the same old thing, over and over
The same old thing, again and again
Every time I pull this thorn from my skin
I feel it tearing my flesh again
And every time I think I've won
It digs and it digs until I'm overcome
It's the same old thing, over and over
The same old thing, again and again
Every time I win this fight, I wake to find myself in chains
Over and over and over again
Over and over still I cannot win
This war has dragged on for so many years
That I will not overcome is my biggest fear
I do what I don't want, and don't do what I want to do
This dichotomy is killing me. Thank God for a Savior
I am a liar and a hypocrite
The chief of sinners
Please save me from myself
I am my own worst enemy
What I hate most wells up from within
Everything from my former self
