Flame - Desires In Conflict lyrics

rate me

Yea, I wanna tell ya'll this story

It's a lot of people looking for restoration

And really searching

I met an interesting man

Who confessed some of the struggles within

Brace yourself cause the struggle is deep

Cause the struggle is deep

He wrestles with the very complex thing

And this is what he said to me

You don't understand my pain

You don't understand my secret

The type of depression I sleep with

It's been going on

Every since I was six years old

My greatest fear is still being exposed

My emotions cross wires

Causing a sexual crossfire

Now I have conflicting desires

As a distraction

Same sex attraction

In my actions and emotional breakdown just like fractions

See, people even say that I'm wrong

But people need to leave me alone

Just check Dateline

And the news will even show you

The hate crimes

I would see God but why waste time

I'm so embarrassed

I try to change

But it just won't work

I felt ashamed when I stepped in the church

I feel isolated

Child of trauma

I try to forget that while dealing with these struggles and set backs

I been around

Man... it's got to be tough man

I don't know what to say

I met an interesting woman

Who confessed some of her struggles within

Brace yourself cause her struggle is deep (cause her struggle is deep)

She wrestles with the very complex thing

And this is what she said to me

You don't understand my pain

You don't understand my struggle

Never hearing a man say that I love you

Without something in mind

Yea, I grew up as a classic tomboy

When I was young I used to clown boys

It was so funny

But then the jokes stopped when he grabbed my throat

And I got raped looked around and there was no pops

Then I resented and hated men my friends then

But I never dated men for a long time

When I did I became promiscuous

Involved in sexual experiences

That I shouldn't been

Never felt feminine til I met a friend

Who really took the time just to understand

It became more than a friendship

One day when her hand slipped

I tried to change but that's the way that I am

Please accept me for the way that I am

Please, I been around

Wow... that's deep... um

I don't know

And when they shared their secrets

It was very hard to speak

But I knew they wanted me to respond (they wanted me to respond)

I closed my eyes and said a prayer to God

Lord please help me speak your mind

I don't understand your pain (I don't)

And I don't and your secrets (I don't)

The type of depression you sleep with

But I sympathize

I really do

Know it's gotta be hard

Being you so I try to be true

And I try to empathize

But I know that God wants to express a sacredness

Through opposite sex

Yes through opposite sex

For man and woman to become one

Is the union God wanted to bless

Yes, He wants to bless

It paints a picture of His desire for oneness

With us in a relationship we can be with the Father

He's always faithful

He'll never molest or disrespect His sons and daughters

You can bet on this

His love is deeper than the ocean floor

The blood of Jesus is the open door

To forgive us for our sins

And He can restore the void in a woman

And He can restore the men to men from homosexual sin

See a person's race or ethnicity is sacred

Our sexuality is sacred as well

And it's a gift from God

We don't have the right to do with it what we want to

God has an original intent

Just like I can't go off and participate in any type of sexual act that I want to with

My sexuality pornography premarital sex adultery

So what is it with our sexuality

Concerning homo sexuality

God has established

The divine order

And we must follow
