The Beautiful Brand New

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
