I Am (Lyrics)

I am a fuse lit burn and glow so you’d better get away If you can’t defuse I will explode look at this mess I’ve made I am the hero I am the snake caught in both lives Look past the fangs and just see the cape we’ll pretend that it’s alright But you see who I am Underneath it all I am redemption I am whole I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I can’t control I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses Stand up tall and say that this is who I am I am addiction wrapped in a blanket of self control That’s worn so thin and tattered that the air seeps through the holes I am admission to a history of falling short A past that’s held me captive from accepting I am yours But I am yours underneath I am perfectly created with imperfect operation I’m sure to steer myself somewhere that I do not belong I am perfectly created with imperfect operation I’ll put my hope in grace and know I’m never too far gone This is my redemption My reward I am a tragic Wreck made perfect by a love I don’t deserve
