Breathin' To Death

Lecrae · Rebel [2008]

It's like I'm tired of life/ Lord i'm wrong why I cant

get right/ And when it's dark why I cant get light/

eh why it cant be light it's so heavy why my sin won't

let me see the end/ come get me/ please come get me/

my thoughts my mind/ my ways all evil/ I'm sposed to

be your people I'm sposed to see your sequal/ I said

I'll never leave you/ But I'm so left i aint right

Lord I'm sleeping with death/man,

I am cheating with death/ am I deaf Its like I don't

hear you/ I say that I'm a Christian but it's like

I don't fear you/ I'm on a selfish island and i am

no where near you/ God i really need you even tho I

don't appear to/ I'm drinking out a broken cistern

that could never hold water and I'm gonna get burned/

tho I try i never satisfy or quench this yearn/ I hear

you calling but it's like a fight for me to just turn/Lord

I deserve to burn



Hook: Repeat 2x

Help me Lord before there's no time left

I ain't living I'm just breathing to death (echo)

Your ways are perfect and they lead me to rest

Mine are evil and they lead me to death



I'm fellin' skitzophrenic / maybe I ain't saved cause

i gotta get high just to block out all the pain/ seen

death, seen hurt seen a whole lotta thangs/ instead

of running from it I'm running away from change/ it's

like I'm outside in the ice cold weather/the rains

coming down and I keep getting wetter/ I know I'm getting

sick and I could die any second/ but still I refuse

to let your truths make me better/ I'd rather eat flies

and maggots instead of bread/ and its killing me slow

but i cant get it through my head/ you were stabbed

you were murdered/ and for me is why you bled/ but

I spit on your bloody face as If i never cared/ And

Lord how dare i compare my pain/ your father turned

his back/ and you were left to hang/ I don't know why

you did it that I cant explain/ how can you love this

sinner whose desecrated your name/Lord I deserve the flames



Hook: 2x



I know I tell lies/ I know I do dirt/ Apart from you

I'm nothing but you can give me worth/ I don't know

if I know you/ But still I know I should/ I know the

days are evil and only you are Good/ I've come to this

conclusion I would like to change cause all the worlds

money and fame cannot sustain/ I know that i should

turn but thats the hardest thang/ cause do I really

feel that havin' Jesus is my gain/ the world is so

tempting/ Satan is a beast/ he hypnotizes my eyes to

say the least/ But Jesus be my treasure to know you

is live/ and I am here dying trying everything there

is/ All I need here is you/ help me turn away from

sin/ Lord give me grace to turn away and the fear not

to give in/ I know that I'm not perfect but if I could

rest in Him/ I know i don't deserve it but still I'll

take your hand/Lord let me take your hand



Hook: 2x
