Blessed be the game, blessing in Your name Bringing down shame to the mission, the vision, making light of provision I just can't refuse the need to stain my own shirt I just can't refuse the need to stain my conscience in dirt Because man, it's hard these days So I've got my guard up these days Ha, who am I kidding, I'm just making smart of my ways I'm dark lately, kind of missing the mark, so would you save me already Dude, the devil got me questioning your presence already Now these questions are heavy Maybe father will show me he loves me When he sees my nightlight light up my dead body I'm afraid to fall to my knees, begging You please Wash me in Your cleansing water Fix me up, I'm begging you please So we are the ones, the ones that put down the gun We burn the noose, break the knife We sing the anthem of life So we are the ones, the ones that put down the gun We burn the noose, break the knife We sing the anthem of life We sing the anthem of life I'm sorry for going and singing, and worshipping at the steeple When all my soul really wants to do is worship evil My words are feeble, to all the people that think I'm some hero I'm sorry to say I'm a zero with zero subtlety Let it be said that I'm thirsty for holiness But more than that, I am hungry for all that is carnal and bloody And one again the darkness will envelope me So I demand that your presence release its subtlety Because in this alley with graffiti that spells out all my sins Reminding me of the blackout in my heart that's within I'll never win, I'm just waiting for the age to set in My death to begin, the price for my sin What I did to Him is I did Him in His hands and feet pinned, blood down His chin Died for the villains that mocked and spit at Him But why would I be worthy of that? What did I do for that? Spit upon His name, then apologize and repent at the drop of a hat? Where's the logic in that? Not to be disrespectful Man, but are You using Your head? Man, just leave me for dead So we are the ones, the ones that put down the gun We burn the noose, break the knife We sing the anthem of life So we are the ones, the ones that put down the gun We burn the noose break the knife We sing the anthem of life The desire to end it is rooted in selfishness, never forget it There's so many people who wanna see us up in heaven But how can we be a light to the fight that the others face If our face is hanging from the very thing that disgraces them? It's hard, trust me I know I battle every single day to remain in the light, and sometimes I wanna give in But how could I give in them I've got a Spirit within? A Spirit longing to pull others in, man we're in it to win it So lets band together under the bloody, raining weather Lets uncover our necks and let the world know we're a wreck Lets turn the skin we tore into a testimony And turn the guns from ourselves onto the enemy So shoot a text to your friend, who's been hiding in the dark Let them know you're by their side, that they have a space in your heart Its not in death that we find our purpose Its up to us to remind each other that we're always worth it
