My secrets are sins that God washed away my secrets still follow me day after day and God said “Forget 'em, but don't go astray” still I peek over my shoulder and suddenly grow colder
A man who keeps followin' me reminding me of the past He doesn't exist and all he does is laugh A laugh I can't hear So slow and so fast his breath I can't smell but it stinks like hell
I can't forget what's already forgiven Lookin' for peace when it's already been given And sometimes I feel I'm not even a man Just a bag of bones and blood in the sand Been washed by this tide a thousand miles wide a thousand times more to satisfy my pride.
You're always there but I don't always feel you Most times I forget that you're near It's like forgetting the feel of winter 'Cause it's the summer sun's burn you fear And when it's fall you get the feeling like a cold face you see in the mirror that you forgot what's coming at you 'til an icy hand 'round your neck has grabbed you
This man needs to leave me this battle I can't win the man I can't feel keeps touching me his non-existence is wearing me thin alone I can do nothing without You I'm a fish with no fin my gills are sealed up in a broken paper cup
