Face in the Mirror


I'm starting to hate the face in the mirror
I'm starting to wish it wasn't mine
It's a quarter after two and I am lying
Awake in the bed I've made
Wrapped up in the sheets of my mistakes

Hiding behind these well-posed photos
Terrified that someone will find out
I wanna be more but I'm still hollow
My kingdom built on lies

Falling on my hands and knees
I need you, Jesus, to show me who I am
More than this reef-ridden shipwreck soul
Caught up in my self affliction, my false religion
Arms nailed to my sides
I need you to save me from what I've become

How many times will I play the victim
Trying to pretend it's not my fault?
But I know the taste of what's forbidden
It pulls me in even now
Death sits sweetly on your tongue

Break open my cage of self-preservation
Cut the locks that bind my soul
Set me adrift in the open water
The end of me is where I begin

Falling on my hands and knees
I need you, Jesus, to show me who I am
More than this reef-ridden shipwreck soul
You cry out over me, "Forgiven!"
You're my whole religion
Arms are stretched out wide
To save me, O save me, from what I've become

Oh, from what I've become
Oh, from what I've become

Falling on my hands and knees
I need you, Jesus, to show me who I am
More than this reef-ridden shipwreck soul
You cry out over me, "Forgiven!"
You're my whole religion
Arms are stretched out wide
To save me, O save me
To save me, O save me
To save me, O save me
