Portrayals
How could I have wasted my heart
On something that took me farther from you
You are the cause and I am prevention
You distracted me and kept my attention
I looked inside and I realized
That I hate the man that I tried to hide
The pain inside drove me to pride to be the man he always designed
Useless attempts are made to personify an image
Just to come up short and create blasphemy in your eyes
Our vision is so far from the truth
No picture can portray the depths of your heart
Or the complexity of your mind
So why do I find myself wrapped up
In obsession with this earthly love?
My noose is getting tighter
My head is getting lighter
Humanity's love will fail
But divine love will last forever
I don't worship a concept, I follow a king
Look into my eyes and tell me that Im blind
By his grace alone I know I can find
I can find, find perfect peace
And I fell once before, and I'll never fall again
Your walls have built this fortress
That is my heart
No scheme of man will ever bring me down
On something that took me farther from you
You are the cause and I am prevention
You distracted me and kept my attention
I looked inside and I realized
That I hate the man that I tried to hide
The pain inside drove me to pride to be the man he always designed
Useless attempts are made to personify an image
Just to come up short and create blasphemy in your eyes
Our vision is so far from the truth
No picture can portray the depths of your heart
Or the complexity of your mind
So why do I find myself wrapped up
In obsession with this earthly love?
My noose is getting tighter
My head is getting lighter
Humanity's love will fail
But divine love will last forever
I don't worship a concept, I follow a king
Look into my eyes and tell me that Im blind
By his grace alone I know I can find
I can find, find perfect peace
And I fell once before, and I'll never fall again
Your walls have built this fortress
That is my heart
No scheme of man will ever bring me down
