I finished this not that long ago... its basically about temptation I suppose you could say. Enjoy? (or not) lol
DEFYING GRAVITY
Fighting you feels a lot like trying to fight gravity
Pushing and pulling against something I can't even see
Believing in the end you'll win
And I'll scrape and bruise this same old fleshy skin
I'm in a war against my own depravity
And its not exactly helpful when you have an addictive personality
But I'll keep trying to defy this gravity
While I keep trying to fill this hole like its some sort of cavity
Just one more time, just one more time around
Even though I'm sick and dizzy
Let me climb on just one more time...
Just like that kid who just threw up climbs right back on that Merry go round
He knows he's just going to keep falling back down
We think that kid is crazy when he tries to justify that bloody knee
When he kicks and screams
PLEASE ONE MORE TIME
its worth those few moments I feel free
Is it really worth it?
Is it really worth those scars you're going to get...
When you jump right off that cliff and land yourself deep down in that pit
Its awfully dark inside that pit
And I know that by myself its just to deep to pull myself back out of it
Maybe if I'd ask for help...
Even just a little bit ...
But I'll sit back and close my mouth pretending I can handle it
Even make jokes about how I'm probably to legit to quit
Maybe I just need to learn a little better self control.
Do I really need to let more people see what's going on inside this skull ?
I think I'm just a bit too scared to make myself that vulnerable.
When am I going to start trusting when you say there's no temptation I can't get through?
And take what's written in your word and see it for its value?
When will I see the lust of these eyes, the lust of this flesh, and this boastful pride is what I've come to cling to?
When am I going to realize that what I do to me, I do to you?
And with every attempt I make to satisfy this flesh in me,
I put those nails right back through your hands and put you right back on that tree
Amazing love how can it be?
I mean really...
Because I'll never understand why you would ever choose to love a whore like me
Selling myself out to every man-made fantasy
Cheapening your divinity
With my continuous impurity
Just trying to ease my ever growing insecurity
That's the beauty of grace you see...
Its not a matter of what I can do for you,
But while I was still a sinner Christ died for me
But should I keep on sinning so that grace can abound all the more?
If that's the case than that grace is going to be overflowing all over the floor
Go and SIN NO MORE
I think is a concept we've come to disregard
Or at least its one we've misconstrued until its more like...
Pushing and pulling against something I can't even see

Go... and try real hard
I'm not perfect, I'm not perfect!
That's what I claim to be
As if my imperfection is any kind of exception of who I choose to be
But instead of claiming what I'm not
I need to proclaim who Christ is inside of me
He's not of this world
The very solution to this gravity
My only hope to gain any stability
For he's called me to live as a child of the light
Who has an already decided victory
In an all to real fight
I'm not perfect, I'm not perfect!
That's what I claim to be
As if my imperfection is any kind of exception of who I choose to be

For he's called me to live as a child of the light
