"Sin, I've so much to say
With so little feeling(")
You start to walk away.
"You think you know who you're dealing
With so much on the line,
You forget to act kind
Sometimes I have let it slide,
But I would rather die
Than give in
To my old man again.
Bye!(") the time you look back
That's all you will see of
Me haunting your dreams
Like a sweet melody in G
Flat on your back,
Staring at the ceiling,
Eyes wide open dreaming in black and
This grey summer
Will be so much better
Without you around
Holding me
Fast footsteps glued to the ground,
By this dead weight.

Like a backpack of broken toys
And the poison of the rotten joys of false
Freedom is so overrated by
Some prefer to remain
Bound by the only true
God loves me so much more than I knew.
And I'm whole without you
And your chains:
Woven guilt and shame.

And you've no claim on me,
'Cause His Truth set me free.

This would probably easier to understand if you could hear it... but basically it's a song to sin and how it's lost it's power because God is in my life now. Also I wanted to capture the idea that so often what we think is freedom is really bondage. Kind of random to write a song to sin, I know, but that's me. lol

The lyrics overlap quite a few times, so if you get confused back up to where the words are bold and that's an overlap. Hopefully, that makes sense.
