Mouth of the South - GOOD INTENTIONS lyrics

rate me

Lost in the lust and pull of the desires of my eyes

It starts a fire in my skin

And burns its way into my heart

This sin tore us apart

And now it's too late to go back

Cause I lost track of all the love

That I said we shared

It's like smoke and mirrors

I don't know my heart

I don't know my plans

Everything has fallen apart

God save this wretched man

I have fallen apart and I can’t free myself

I can’t let go

I have fallen apart and I can’t free myself

Who will save me now?

There must be something wrong with me

Every time I try

It’s like I’m digging my own grave

It’s like there’s poison in my veins

Every time I think I’m getting closer to break through

I make the same mistakes

I've been chasing the wind

I’ve been playing god

Replaced these gifts with efforts

How did I end up like this?

I used to be passionate

I used to have conviction flowing through my veins

I used to be in love with you

God, you must be so disappointed in me

Instrumental

My knuckles are callused and stained with your blood

God save this wretched man

I must have worn out your patience by now

This has become my hell

I swear to God that something’s wrong with me

Cause I can’t breathe feels like I’m suffocating

I know it’s not just the snake around my neck

But these hands that pushed the nails into your flesh

God these hands have pulled the apple from the tree

And I've been striving for atonement

But it's just out of reach

This whole time I thought I was living in your name

Hands to the plow

I was digging my own grave

I've been trying

I've been trying to somehow earn your grace

I've been lying

I've been lying

Wearing masks to hide my face

I've been thinking to myself, does this cycle ever end?

I've been falling short and burning out

Your patience must be thin

Have I worn out your patience yet?

Have I worn out your patience yet?

Have I worn out your patience yet?

Have I worn out your patience yet?
