Day after day I am consumed by my mind and the body of my flesh All these things I hold close seem to haunt me and taunt me My life of consumption is brought on by presumptions All my thoughts of Your name in vain brought upon with such outward shame Sometimes more with a little bit less we gather our thoughts in a big fat mess Outside our appearance seems clean, but only to what lies in between My voice cries out in the still of the silence how can I bare such a defiance You give me visions but I will choose my own decisions Day after day I cling to my world of lustful lies along with selfish pride You know my name and every move Yet I hide and run from You You whom I should aim to please I only treat like the rest of these These people who mean nothing to me but all the most to Thee

Selfishness
Day after day I am consumed by my mind and the body of my flesh All these things I hold close seem to haunt me and taunt me My life of consumption is brought on by presumptions All my thoughts of Your name in vain brought upon with such outward shame Sometimes more with a little bit less we gather our thoughts in a big fat mess Outside our appearance seems clean, but only to what lies in between My voice cries out in the still of the silence how can I bare such a defiance You give me visions but I will choose my own decisions Day after day I cling to my world of lustful lies along with selfish pride You know my name and every move Yet I hide and run from You You whom I should aim to please I only treat like the rest of these These people who mean nothing to me but all the most to Thee
