Let Me Be

I left my house to burn down
In the flames of a scornful mind
There isn't time for resting now
We're near the peak of this mountain climb
The ash we carry burdens us
Til the sun sets for dinner time
We eat the fruit of sinful lust
And we blindly get left behind

Falling out so far away from everything
Just let me be
Time will tell if we're supposed to be set free
Just let me be

I fall asleep without remorse
Knowing that I've almost hit the top
We wake to finish up the course
But my body slips into the drop
For years I have behaved like this
Setting goals just to throw them off
I'm trapped in my own Sisyphus
Shutting myself out from any God

Falling out so far away from everything
Just let me be
Time will tell if we're supposed to be set free
Just let me be

I need some time alone, time to figure out who I know
My mind is too convoluted to make sense of the world I roam
I'm trapped inside this cycle of sin and empty repentance
Praying I'll get closer to God, then promptly planning severance
It's like I never learn my lessons, never learn the truth
With one step forward I fall back, and I see no use
In seeking growth, or trying hard at anything
Guess I'll never finish college or possess a wedding ring
I need strength I need motivation, I really need the drive
To escape my own cycle and find where I am meant to thrive, MattR

Falling out so far away from everything
Just let me be
Time will tell if we're supposed to be set free
Just let me be
Falling out so far away from everything
Just let me be
Time will tell if we're supposed to be set free
Just let me be
