In the darkness of my own mind

I can hear the calls of my mortal being

Tempting and pulling me down

What seems so shallow ends up being the deepest pit

I've ever fallen into

Pull me back to the surface

Constricted by what the flesh craves

Over and over again I face myself

With fear I may fall again

Sin etched into my past

The memories fade in and out

I've let myself go again

If only I could cut it out of me

If only I could live to see

A life without this bad fruit

It wraps around my chest

Convincing me that it will never leave

This is why I need you, Lord

I fall through the cracks and it feels like the end

The pain of my days lives on through the actions that should be stopped by myself

But I still put my fist through the walls of the places that I should feel okay

I'm sick of living in this box

The pain is recurring

You are my only way out

I look at my bloody hands

Another time that I have lost control

I look into my broken heart

I can't save myself from the darkness inside me

Your forgiveness is all I have

When I'm falling through the cracks

I am guilty

I am guilty of my sins

I am guilty of my sin

In the darkness of my own mind

I can hear the calls of my mortal being

Tempting and pulling me down

What seems so shallow ends up being the deepest pit

I've ever fallen into

When I'm falling through the cracks
