From the recording Deliver Me
Lyrics
Verse:
My mind’s in the gutter and my body’s a mess.
But I’d rather be me than you, I confess.
I’m trying to live one day at a time.
But the path is steep and I don’t wanna climb.
My ego is greedy, and my pride is strong.
My temper is short as the day is long.
My head is spinning, but my world is not.
My life is crazy, need to figure it out.
Chorus:
I trust a genie in a bottle, make that a double.
I like shiny things that move and wobble.
Tell me a lie, maybe I will follow.
Why oh why am I…so hollow.
Verse:
My load is heavy and my strength is light.
I may be winning the war, but losing the fight.
I wanna do right, but I still do the wrong.
Why am I weak when I need to be strong?
Chorus:
I trust a genie in a bottle, make that a double.
I like shiny things that move and wobble.
Tell me a lie, maybe I will follow.
Why oh why am I…so hollow.
Bridge:
Everything I do, I do for me…yeah.
Chasing my own…fantasy.
But that don’t work in reality.
Who will deliver me from me?
Verse:
Well, sooner or later, I am leaving this rock.
Ready or not, God is winding down the clock.
Need to understand His master plan.
And make it to that promised land.
Chorus:
But I trust a genie in a bottle, make that a double.
I like shiny things that move and wobble.
Tell me a lie, maybe I will follow.
Why oh why am I…so hollow.
But I trust a genie in a bottle, make that a double.
I like shiny things that move and wobble.
Tell me a lie, maybe I will follow.
Why oh why am I…so hollow.
Who will deliver me?
Yeah, who will deliver me?
