Ouroboros

All my life, You have given me
All the right answers
Feeding me with a silver spoon
The truth You said would set me free
But now this question is growing
In me like a cancer
If what You said was really true

Is my repentance just me tricking myself? 'Cause

Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes

Lord, I want to
Want to be well
Oh, Lord, I want to
Want to be well
God, I want to
Want to be well
Oh, God, I want to
Want to be well

Lord, I want to
Want to be well
Oh, Lord, I want to
Want to be well
God, I want to
Want to be well
Oh, God, I want to
Want to be well

Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever
Nothing ever
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
