Try to compensate for lack of adequacy Recollecting that I've had enough Competence is lacking coping mechanisms fail when skepticism tears me up [Chorus:] Burning this life behaves Like an open wound Scar tissue escalates: the beautiful brand new Desperation screams from leaving me completely I've dismembered pity left for you Testify a turning; disconcerted yearning Father make me something you can use [Spoken:] I'm the broken chain on a bike with no destination In a town with no sidewalks theses street signs are not kind. The crosswalks are faded in time. I will not claim to have reached perfection, but will continue working to the day when I will be all that Jesus Christ saved me for and wants me to be. This is what I will be. This is who I will be. Forever. [Chorus] Now from this stage we'll begin to burn brighter You've lit the fuse We'll watch your eyes for reflections of fire Now we'll thank-you
