Breathin' To Death

It's like I'm tired of life

Lord I'm wrong, why I can't get right?

And when it's dark, why I can't get light

And why it can't be light?

It's so heavy, why my sin won't let me see the end?

Come get me, please get me

My thoughts, my mind, my ways, all evil

I'm supposed to be Your people

I'm supposed to see Your sequel

I said I'll never leave You, but I'm so left

I ain't right Lord, I'm sleepin' with death

Man I'm cheatin' with death

Am I deaf, it's like I don't hear You

I say that I'm a Christian but it's like I don't fear You

I'm on a selfish island and I am nowhere near You

God I really need You even though I don't appear to

I'm drinkin' out a broken cistern that could never hold water

And I'm soon to get burned

Though I try I never satisfy or quench this yearn

I hear You callin' but it's like a fight for me to just turn

Lord I deserve to burn

Hook:

Help me Lord before there's no time left

I ain't livin' I'm just breathin' to death

I ain't livin' I'm just breathin' to death

I ain't livin' I'm just breathin' to death

Help me Lord before there's no time left

I ain't livin' I'm just breathin' to death

Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest

Mine are evil and they lead me to death

I'm feelin' schizophrenic, maybe I ain't saved

Cause I gotta get high just to block out all the pain

Seen death, seen hurt, seen a whole lotta things

Instead of runnin' from it, I'm runnin' away from change

It's like I'm outside in the ice cold weather

The rain's comin' down, I keep gettin' wetter

I know I'm gettin' sick and I could die any second

But still I refuse to let Your truths make me better

I'd rather eat flies and maggots instead of bread

And it's killin' me slow, but I can't get it through my head

You were stabbed, You were murdered, and for me is why You bled

But I spit on Your bloody face as if I never caredAnd Lord how dare I compare my pain

Your Father turned His back, and You were left to hang

I don't know why You did it, that I can't explain

How can You love this sinner, who's desecrated Your name

Now I deserve the flames

Hook

I know I tell lies, I know do dirt

Apart from You I'm nothin', but You can give me worth

I don't know if I know You, but still I know I should

I know these days are evil and only You are good

I've to this conclusion, I would like to change

Cause all the world's money and fame cannot sustain

I know that I should turn but that's the hardest thing

Cause do I really feel that havin' Jesus is my gain

The world is so temptin', Satan is a beast

He hypnotizes my eye to say the least

But Jesus be my treasure, to know You is to live

And I am here dyin', tryin' everything there is

All I need here is You, help me turn away from sin

Lord give me grace to turn away the fear, to not give in

I know that I'm not perfect, but I could rest in Him

I know I don't deserve it, but still I'll take Your hand

Lord let me take Your hand
