lyrics

Copacetic equilibrium
What does that even mean
When your life is at the end of a gun?
Perfection cannot be attained
Not through works, though we should try
This has been proclaimed
God has given all we need

I wish for a self-immolation
Just to die
But my death needs meaning
My faith has dealt integration
Which is what I have not died
Not yet, I feel as though that decision is careening

Fugue envelops me
Why do I still exist?
I died years ago
My true-self
My Spirit left my body
Now I'm a lifeless shell
My carcass reeks of decay

I offer my body as a living human sacrifice
Burn it, prod it, do what you want with it
I want my death to be meaningful and remembered

If only I could live up to you
I would do it
If there was any way to be perfect like you
I would do it
If there was a way to stand beside you
I would do it

But my goals are and high and impossible
to attain by flesh and bone
when my Spirit truly departs
I shall repent
And achieve the glory of serving with you
Forgive me for all I've done
Just don't cast me aside as if you never knew me
Please Lord

I wish for a self-immolation
Just to die
But my death needs meaning
my faith has dealt integration
Which is why I have not died
Thank You, Lord
Give me the strength to rise above

The best way to heal old scars
Is to make new memories
