On My Own
Intro
Shhhh. We don’t talk about that here.
Verse 1
That’s the one problem we don’t bring inside
Struggle alone
Get no support and when your family breaks it’s all your fault
Lust is a problem we will not acknowledge
Your chains can choke you
Break free alone
Fight this alone
It’s you vs you
You’ll never know that I’m fighting too
Chorus
Imprisoned inside the shame I try so hard to hide
I try to resist
But my flesh insists
Why can I not do this?
It preys upon my mind every day and every night
No hope to recover
Just pray they don’t discover the truth
Am I beyond repair?
Verse 2I am hypocrisy
I am deceit incarnate
How could God forgive me
If I can’t even forgive myself
Wake up church and see the ravaging disease
Too uncomfortable to discuss this all consuming lust
I lie here in the dark
So far apart from the man I’ll never be
The visions inside
My tortured mind
Addiction behind my eyes
Chorus
Imprisoned inside the shame I try so hard to hide
I try to resist
But my flesh insists
Why can I not do this?
It preys upon my mind every day and every night
No hope to recover
Just pray they don’t discover the truth
Am I beyond repair?
