Payne, Kendall - Closer To Myself lyrics

rate me

Digging deep, I feel my conscience burn<br />

I need to know who and what I am<br />

This hunger jolts me from complacency<br />

It rocks me, makes me meet myself<br />

<br />

Jacob walked a limp to remind him<br />

Of the greater gift of the greater one<br />

But when I fell, I fell to my own resources<br />

How can I carry a truth, if I can't even crawl to you?<br />

<br />

I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin<br />

Cover me in leaves and roll me over again<br />

I've been everybody else now I wanna be<br />

Something closer to myself<br />

<br />

Paint me in a different light shed me yet another coat of skin<br />

Mark me with ash until I'm clean again<br />

'Cause I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired<br />

I know I can love you, I know that I can<br />

<br />

I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin<br />

Cover me in leaves and roll me over again<br />

I've been everybody else now I wanna be<br />

Something closer to myself
