Grits - Man's Soul lyrics

The more I meditate, I hesitate to even show face The more I hesitate, I contemplate my life is a waste My spirit levitates to take a glance at truth of His grace As my flesh emulates every act of disgrace So deceptive in perception of its hunger and greed Maliciously relentless to fulfill whatever it needs Undisciplined, rebellious, no regard for righteousness Ever since it tasted d**h, he desires nothing less Too many nights I spent in tears, drowning in fear I'm never making it, through all the time I spend faking it My soul is proving capability and prone that when alone Without the father's consecration flesh manipulates constantly Continual battles my inner being goes through Why do I do the things I know I'm not supposed to Why don't I do the things that I know I should do Who s to blame except me and me alone I found my enemy's home was in my soul [Chorus] What could inhibit a habit the dark corners lurking demonic principalities when other evils working you can't escape fate, allow what's in your heart to tailgate you're the only cellmate to unlock what locked the jail gate [2X] Somewhere inside the crevice, I long to face the limits The premise is d**h for execution of flesh Pa**ed on authority and so control The tree of life I chose, taking shape of His mold Indulge in fruit too, whatever you do, I do, we crew Give into a city, evil, not for me, you you Doom can't loom if I no longer give it room zoom a zoom You're free to explode for miles with a loud boom Grip it tightly I hold with no intention to fold Toe to toe and blow to blow, flow to flow I stand firm Learn to discern, circumstances are changed Do a dance with d**h, til my soul's last breath When I'm at my hardest Can salvage my image tarnished What can make me whole again The blood of Jesus Freed indeed Down the slanted hill I skied, high speed Managed to get vantage when I got tree'd [Chorus] What lies in a man's soul I found that evil doesn't have a face, or let alone a place It just lingers in the void over an open space Searching out a victim to nuzzle up against, take under its wing, inhabit, then reign supreme Fickle control, it slowly conquers a man's soul Behold real TV, even realer when it takes its toll Unfold, with those punches, you don't have to roll Toss yourself at the cross, and escape the d**h hold More vibrant than a radiant redhead With flashlights for fingers, the illuminated words of Christ Put that on ice for a spell, pray tell, how in the world do you excel in the glory of God, and then rebel Letting d**h valley grip you with fear of falling down Evil only breeds and feeds when you allow it to hang around So get down, hit knees where prayers don't cease What's lurking probably shouldn't even be working
