Crown Of Thorns

I have failed so many times to become the person

the person that I long to be

perfection, the standard of my everything

unable to realize I bring my fall

perfection, a task not possible

I try so hard, not hard enough

my God, lived without sin

myself, I'm indulged in it

my god how long I will sing this song

and my god how long til I come home?

my god I'll sing until I have no breath

and my god come and take me home

blood stained hands carry my sins

my hands carry no such wounds

your eyes have searched for me

I look away. I look away

I have failed to be the person I strive to be

I fall so short to the expectations

you wore the crown of thorns, as I wear the crown of shame

your eternal sacrifice

has torn a whole inside my heart

I fail to sin, not for the last time

I will rise back up, and carry on

my flaw of the man I shouldn't be

is not the man you died to see

so I'll learn to be who I should be

and give back to you, and give less to me
