Power

I could have the whole world and it isn't enough
I want power and all the things that God's afraid to touch
So deep in this crevice and I'm never coming out
Find comfort in its presence, this world couldn't spit me out

Did I fall away from God or did he fall away from me?
I chose myself, became all I want to be
It's a glimpse of control that runs my vision
It's a moment self that made the

Strength, I can almost taste it
Order, it's my way now
Power, won't ever face it
Force, won't tear it down

All of these sanctions are ill-defined
What I am and will be is only mine
Try to take it but it sits in my spine
What I am and will be is only mine

Power, power
Strength when I bleed
Power, power
Now they hide their teeth
Power, power
Become all I want to be
Power, power
Now they hide their teeth

The further I push, the further you fall
I see you weep, I feel nothing at all
Shift of control, everything to gain
Sift through the dirt, you'll only find pain

Power, power
Strength when I bleed
Power, power
Now they hide their teeth
Power, power
Become all I want to be
Power, power
Now they hide their teeth

I want control and all it's wills and woes
I want vengeance and all it's remorseful throws
Touch the razors edge and see the skin waiver
I feel the weight of pride turning to a savior

This being was made a long time ago
I've peeled the wound and I let it show
Change for better or worse
Perpetuate pain 'til the flesh meets earth

I've always been like this, it sits in my skin
Reinvent myself, won't let you in
You do all you can, I do all I want
The things that make a man
The things that make a God

Power, power
Strength when I bleed
Power, power
Now they hide their teeth
Power, power
Become all I want to be
Power, power
Now they hide their teeth
