Break the chains of paranoia,
Surrender to eternal metanoia
I feel carved by a blade of sorrow, sculpted in insecurity
destined to relapse,
through cycles of torment,
constructed to collapse.
In the steps of a thief on a path to nowhere.
I robbed my own soul, chasing what's never there
I stumbled in circles, tearing at my own skin,
Caught in the fist of original sin.
Metanoia
Break the chains that bind my soul.
Metanoia
Purge the filth that blinds these eyes
Paranoia
The weight of fear into the spine
Metanoia
Your truth will purge the curse
purge the curse inside
The self destructive lies
God free my mind
bend my broken will please rescue me
with my life on the line, I reach for the divine
I am broken,
Living in fear
Grinding down my teeth
I am burdened
I have strayed so far
drowning in doubt
Fighting just to breathe
Metanoia
Break the chains that bind my soul.
Metanoia
Purge the filth that blinds these eyes
Paranoia
The weight of fear into the spine
Metanoia
Your truth will purge the curse inside
I need your voice to pierce through me
Breath life, lift the disease
Paranoia
The weight of fear into the spine
Metanoia
Your truth will purge the curse inside
Sever death’s command
a new foundation’s formed
Lift the shroud, you’ve swallowed death itself
On my heart your message will remain
My son “I have called you by name”
Through his voice I’m reminded
I am made in the image of God
