Father, Abba
You see me
Ruining my life
You see my
Desperate lies
You see me
Running from you
You see me
Becoming the vile
You see my
Evil that I have become
You see my
World become undone
You see me
Yet you leave me to my devices
Of eternal failure and blame
I have not yet given into the madness
For Father I still call on your name
So no matter my failures
No matter my strife and hell
I still know your with me all the while
