Verse 1:
At times, this life gets heavy, my brain feels like it's spaghetti
All tangled and messy, my thoughts are strangled and edgy
I'm knotted up in my belly, I gotta go, I'm not ready
I'm rocking, my boat ain't steady, I'm hiding behind a levy and
The levy's breaking now, taking out my security
Confronted by currently incurable insecurities
That once were ignored and locked deep, completely secured in me
Breaking my wall of perjury, purgatory let out of me
Doubt in me now let out as a painful limbo surrounded me
Hounding me is the shadow, the battle is now unbalanced
The ammo flooded right out of me, shadow children corralling me
Battlefield full of casualties, caterpillar, yeah that was me
In need of a metamorphosis, call a Morpheus
I need to be pointed back to the one who heals the brokenness
Trying to charm the shadow man, couldn't pull off an Orpheus
Couldn't sing my way out of this, no wonder why he's just a myth
A transformation, my mind needs to be renewed again
Salvations been misplaced, but it hasn't been uprooted yet
This dream I'm in is a nightmare, I need a light 'cause it's dark in here
Shadows all around me, I need the light, it's dark in here

Hook:
Everyday is a fight with the flesh, fight to the death
I kill him as he screams loud " I'm breaking out"
Shadow man trying to tempt me to kill me
Drop to my knees and cry out "Lord, take him out"
Everyday is a fight with the flesh, fight to the death
I kill him as he screams loud " I'm breaking out"
Shadow man trying to tempt me to kill me
Drop to my knees and cry out "Lord, take him out"

Verse 2:
Everywhere that I look, another wall is blown off the room
That concealed the inner sinner, now he's fleeing the tomb
I know I should've killed my flesh, but it was too much to do
So I just put him in the back and he dragged as I moved
He's kinda pushy though, always trying to push my out the way
Trying to step into the front so that he can lead the way
Then the shadow starts to whisper to me, creepy things he'll say
To distract so my flesh can keep on leading me astray
Leading me away, away he led me from the Father
Voluntarily I followed hoping for a tomorrow
Momentarily believing that my life was a model
Of a Christian saved by grace but I was walking back to Sodom
Gamorah started hollering, the shadow was massaging
So layed back and relaxed that I couldn't see the problem
Walking straight to my demise, and I skipped across the road
The shadow snickering behind me as I tripped over the stones

Hook

Verse 3:
And now I'm saying woe is me, woe am I, woe is my life
Caught with the sweet words of the shadow man, woe is my pride
Believing I was strong enough to drag my flesh along the side
Now I'm left with nothing but disaster, woe is my prize
The crazy part is as I'm following my flesh
I didn't know that I was walking with the shadow to my death
The scary realization very quickly came to me
The one that lead deep into this painful darkness, it was me
I'm fighting now, and though I'm weak my strength is from the Father
God has got me in his arms while I'm swinging at the sorrow
Can't put it off for later, there's no promise for tomorrow
Gotta bring to death today all that represents the shadow
Shadow man don't talk to me, I know that you're a liar
Trying to use the evil in me just to make my life expire
I'm done with all the games, mr flesh I'll be real with you
Come step to me like that again, I will kill you
