Artifice

Look at me
I am the quintessential believer
I am God's gift to man
I am a shining example
I am the perfect son
So look at me

I can only dream to be all you see in me

I am truly a broken man - lost and slowly losing hope as I lead my best friends to sin
I am a lie
I'm living a lie

And all that's shining through is my incompetence
I have failed
I am this close to giving it all up
I swear to God, I'm not making this up
Just give me Your attention
God, why won't You listen?
Won't You listen?
Desolation - I've lived here far too long, I know

I have failed
And still, You care for me
Still, You love me
Still, God, You love me
