Flame Devil's Bread
I don't wanna put away
Don't wanna put away
But I don't want to ruin my life
I'm trying to live my own theology
But I'm still confronted by my own hypocrisy
I've lost count of all the ways I contradict the things
I say and things I pray
And when I recite from my own Bible against my own
Christ
Man I love Him to the core
But it's still a struggle trying to love Him even more
Yes I wanna finish well never bring shame
And never sprinkle dirt on the son of God's name
I wanna stand firm, I wanna end strong
But I be so afraid that I'm gonna end wrong
And provide for myself again, and supply for my selfish
sin
In spite of the knowledge You are a perfect friend
Lord hold me up I know You hear me praying saying
I don't wanna put away
Don't wanna put away
But I don't want to ruin my life
How is it that if you eat something, be in love with
the taste
Scrape crumbs off the plate, let none go to waste
Keep eating in it eating and it
Take a drink eating in it
Bout a week later put none to your face
Exact same ingredients numb to the taste
Is my tongue in the way? Am I dark? Am I fake?
Or am I just exhausted? Appetite, lost it
Is my heart cold or is it just frosted
How long is my crave? Is my hunger?
My thirst is having a relapse for idol god worship
I know this is dangerous, wrong and deceit
But it's looking so sweet like bon-a-petit
I know God is my Father and I am His son
He provides for me, I should not jump the gun
Said I know this is dangerous, wrong and deceit
But it's looking so sweet like bon-a-petit
Voila
Then I have to tell myself
He was tempted to provide for Himself too
Dry desert, no food
Forty days forty nights think His appetite
Wasn't like Eve's or the Israelites or like yours or
like mine
Then the serpent came, right time, right lies
But He chose to be father, not fed
Make the same choice, resist the devil's bread
I don't wanna put away
Don't wanna put away
I don't want to ruin my life
Here we go
