Selah Lyrics

Nothing can be done against the truth

No matter how we remain in denial

Wasting time

Replacing time

With each empty excuse

But that'll only work a little while

Coping with despair

Knowing you're not there

Ashamed to just admit

I've been a fool

So I blame it on the sun

Run away from everyone

Hoping to escape this ridicule

Trapped in misery

Wrapped so miserably

In this deception that I'm wearin' like a skin

Dying to maintain

Oh I keep trying to explain

A heart that never loved me to begin

Oh I'm such a mess

I have no choice but to confess

That I've been desperately trying to belong

Lying to myself 

And everybody else

Refusing to admit my right was wrong

And then he came

Selah

And it means 

Praise and Meditation

And then he came

Selah 

And it means

Did ya think about that?

And then he came 

Selah

Oh and it means

Praise and Meditation

And then he came 

Selah

Oh and it means

That it is seen

How beautiful is fruit still in denial of its roots?

My guilty heart behaved so foolishly

This treason from within

That reasons with my sin

Won't be happy till it sees the death of me

Selfishly addicted

To a life that I depicted

Conflicted cuz it's not reality

Oh what's left of me

I beg you desperately

Cause me to agree to what I know is best for me

Please save me from myself 

I need you to save me from myself

Please save me from myself so I can heal

The choices that I have made

Oh have been nothing but mistakes

What a wasted use of space

Should I die before I wake?

In all of my religion

I've fortified this prison

Obligated to obey 

The demands of bad decisions

Please save me from myself 

I need you to save me from myself

Please save me from myself so I can heal

And then he came

Selah

And it means 

Praise and Meditation

And then he came

Selah 

And it means

Did ya think about that?

And he came 

Selah

Oh and it means

Meditation

And then he came 

Selah

Oh and it means

That it is seen

And then he came

And then he came 

Then he came then he came then he came

And then he came

And then he came
