In My Lungs

(album: Chris Renzema & The New Nature Choir - 2016)

I've been lying to myself, and I've been lying to you
After all these years, it's hard to be true
And often I stay up and wonder does it matter to you
If the words I believe, are the words I choose

So don't let me, live my life with this bandage on
Don't let me, let the fear of what I'm not, make my heart numb
And don't let me sing another song, without feeling fire in my lungs

I've been lying to myself, and I've been lying to you
After all these years, it's hard to be true
And often I've stayed up and wondered could I come back new
Forget these words I've believed that lead me far from you

So don't let me, live my life with this bandage on
Don't let me, let the fear of what I'm not, make my heart numb
And don't let me sing another song, without feeling fire in my lungs

So would you tear my idols down,
Make my heart your holy ground,
Come light your fire in me
Keep my eyes upon your thrown
Cus' all my hopes in you alone
Come light your fire in me

So don't let me, live my life with this bandage on...
