I'm strep tonight with my old nature in the back of my throat
Each time I try and wretch it out, I choke
It's burning my insides an ulcer for bleeding
On what you can't see is inside my thoughts are cleaning
You've cured my ailments
You've settled my deepest disease
And you've taken apart all my insides
And you've given me all I need.
I'm out tonight and I'm racing and riding on fire
Your spirit dwells inside, it's not me who's out of breath
Can I die tonight? Can I cut off that person completely?
So that inside me your spirit can breathe?
And we died to our burdens all at once
Rotten parcel on both our sides
I'm gearing up to just not try
To submit to this world's lie
Sinking, bleeding, some with time
Lessons wasted, every cry
Seven-fold rebate grace runs high.
You've cured my ailments
You've settled my deepest disease
And you, you've shown yourself through my brothers
And when I break, when I break you carry me.
You've taken apart all my insides
You've shown me all I need
And all that is glory, all that is yours is forever
All that is glory, all is yours forever
