Scum - Altars

I have been brought to understand the concept of right and wrong

My actions have betrayed me

I have been brought to overcome the desire to sink myself

My own thoughts have condemned me

My own thoughts have condemned me

And I have fought against my thoughts my needs my wants

And I have fought against my thoughts my needs my wants

My hands are wringing my neck

I am sick of the finger being pointed at the world

This constant fight is not with You

But with the body I’m in

And this body is fighting back

And surfacing from within

We will never find some peace of mind through the perfection that we seek

This grace shines brightest

When I’m on my knees and at my weakest point

I am the scum of the Earth

And I am redeemed

Good God I deserve nothing

I am the scum of the Earth

I deserve nothing

I am nothing
