god is real

back to reality. came back from my bath. edited my posts. com crashed twice along the way...as usual. feel there is not enough time to write a follow-up...also feel i should be doing something else right now. but found a song that relates that i just blasted on the radio. don't be fooled by the lyrics...this is heavy rock and usually i cringe when i listen to this song on normal days because it is just so loud (take it from someone who's an avid rock fan). but in a way i guess the loudness blasts the pain away. haha. and the lyrics....meaningful.

Pain
by GRAMMATRAIN

I wish that I could say I am a perfect man
I wish sometimes that I would not be who I am
one day I decided I would think on this
not knowing if faith and pain could co-exist

could I ever on my own conceive
of someone I did not know, but I need?
I must be made to be at peace and communion
'cause there must be some place somehow from where I have fallen

I find through every ounce of pain I feel
My mind cannot deny that God is real

the inconsistency of what I say I should be
compared to what I am in actuallity
leaves me in conclusion that I know the way
though I am unable to always obey

nothing in this world has satisfied
my soul's hunger for a deeper life
the weight of my misdeeds were crushing, blinding me
I still live with pain inside but now I can see

I find through every ounce of pain I feel
My mind cannot deny that God is real

the pieces of my life are scattered on the floor
I stared at them till I could take no more

I do not deserve to be set free
forgiveness is what I despereately need
if it wasn't for the perfect blood that was shed
would I not be dead inside but I live instead

I find through every ounce of pain I feel
My mind cannot deny that God is real

I know my faith's still here
believe through all my tears
