Lyrics

Selah

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Nothing can be done against the truth

No matter how we remain in denial

Wasting time, replacing time with each and every excuse

But that will only work a little while

Coping with despair

Knowing you're not there

Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool

So I blame it on the sun

Run away from everyone

Hoping to escape this ridicule

Trapped in misery

Wrapped so miserably

And his deception I wear it like a skin

Dying to maintain

While I keep trying to explain

A heart that never loved me to begin with

Oh I'm such a mess

I have no choice but to confess

That I have been desperately trying to belong

Lying to myself and everybody else

Refusing to admit my right was wrong

And then he came, Selah

And it means praise and meditation

And then he came, Selah

And it means did you think about that

And then he came, Selah

And it means praise and meditation

And then he came, Selah

And it means that you see

How beautiful his fruits still in denial of its roots

My guilty heart behaves so foolishly

This treason from within that reasons with my sin

Won't be happy till it sees the death of me

Selfishly addicted to a life that I depicted

Conflicted cuz its not reality

All that's left of me

Oh I beg you desperately

Cause me to agree for what I know is best for me

Please save me from myself

I need to save me from myself

Please save me from myself

Please save me from myself so I can hear you

The choices that I make have been nothing but mistakes

What a waste of useless space

Should I die before I wake

And all of my religion

I've fortified this prison

Obligated to obey, that the man's bad decision

Please save me from myself

I need you to save me from myself

Please save me from myself

Please save me from myself so I can hear you

And then he came, Selah

And it means praise and meditation

And then he came, Selah

And it means did you think about that

And he came, Selah

And it means meditation

And then he came, Selah

And it means that it's you

And then it came

And then he came and he came and he came

And then he

And then he came
