about

In some ways I see this as my Psalm 51. I wanted to call myself out. To take the mask off and confess. I hope you find something in it with which you resonate.

lyrics

I'm looking over and I see such pain
A world in chains of our making
I see the stranded stranger and my heart would break
But I turn away from his aching

And I'm no better
No I'm no better
Oh, I'm no better than the rest

I'm looking under and I see such shame
A life in flames and rebellion
All of my days amass to a worthless weight
Sinking in the waves of the ocean

And I'm no better
No I'm no better
Oh, I'm no better than the rest

Lost here in wonder 'cos I have no claim
I cannot explain this love
You know I smell like death but you don't turn away
You lean in and take my place
