Every promise that I made I broke before the morning came Every road that I walked down Led me back to all my shame I know the truth, I've seen the light Still I choose the darker side There's a war beneath my skin And I don't know who's gonna win I've worn a smile to hide the pain But heaven knows I'm not the same A prisoner inside these walls Built by my own hands after all How long can I keep running How long can I pretend When the enemy I fear the most Is the man I am within Oh, wretched man Who will rescue me From this body of death That's consuming me All those chains I've worn All those scars I've bled I've been fighting myself Inside my head Oh, wretched man Can you hear my cry 'Cause I'm losing the war That I fight every night And mercy still remains Then don't let me go Lord save my soul I know what I should do But I keep doing what I hate The more I try to free myself The more I seal my fate These empty rooms echo my sins Every memory settles in Like ghosts that never leave my side Reminding me of who I was I chased the world with open hands And found nothing but sinking sand Now all the crowns I used to wear Feel heavier than despair How long can I keep falling How long before I break If your grace is truly greater Then meet me in this place Oh, wretched man Who will rescue me From this body of death That's consuming me All those chains I've worn All those scars I've bled I've been fighting myself Inside my head Oh, wretched man Can you hear my cry 'Cause I'm losing the war That I fight every night And mercy still remains Then don't let me go Lord save my soul Oh, wretched man You don't have to stay In the chains you've worn For so many days There is hope beyond Every tear you've cried There is mercy waiting On the other side Oh, wretched man Lift your weary eyes For the cross still stands And the savior's alive Though I fall again His grace still remains And he calls my name Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man Oh, wretched man You don't have to stay In the chains you've worn For so many days There is hope beyond Every tear you've cried There is mercy waiting On the other side Oh, wretched man Lift your weary eyes For the cross still stands And the savior's alive Though I fall again His grace still remains And he calls my name
