Church Kid - War Within

I've opened too many doors
Inside of me is a war within
I just can't do it no more
I need a way
You told me you are the way
Truth and the life you said follow me
Take my sin and take it all

Yeah It ain't easy
Tryna live this life, tryna not to pretend
Tryna make amends I'm uneasy
Doesn't make sense
When I give my best and when it ends I'm always left empty
I've done it all, from this and that
Now I know that it don't complete me
Like Solomon said it's all meaningless saying vanity of vanities
I work and I work then it hits me things are always never what it seems
Nothing satisfies, nothing does
It does my head in deeply
Everything that glitters
Ain't gold cause I learnt when I realised it deceived me
I smoked and I choked
And I walked on a slope that's greasy things get icy
My consequences get pricy, when I start to act in my ability
I do not understand what I do, for what I want to do
I do not do, but what I hate I do
I do not do the good I want to do
But the evil I do not want to do, I keep doing
Cause Sin lives in me

I've opened too many doors
Inside of me is a war within
I just can't do it no more
I need a way
You told me you are the way
Truth and the life you said follow me
Take my sin and take it all
Don't wanna play
I've opened too many doors
Inside of me is a war within
I just can't do it no more
I need a way
You told me you are the way
Truth and the life you said follow me
Take my sin and take it all
Don't wanna play them games

So different
On Sundays and Wednesdays suited up, I got my hands up so so reverent
But when it comes to Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday I'm different
Irreverent, living two lives, so devilish and indifferent
But I realised, I can't live it, still I do it my way
My way or the highway then I learn the hard way
Why my way is never the way in the first place
Always halfway in my faith, misplaced, I never listen
There's a difference in relationship and religion
Between preferences and convictions
Suffering the consequences
Of every single one of my decisions
Questioning what I believe in
I'm more religion then the real thing
Really I'm in sin, just wanna stop, just wanna start again
My uso said "How Christian do I really wanna be"?
Maybe I need to get out the way
And let Christ live in me

I've opened too many doors
Inside of me is a war within
I just can't do it no more
I need a way
You told me you are the way
Truth and the life you said follow me
Take my sin and take it all
Don't wanna play
I've opened too many doors
Inside of me is a war within
I just can't do it no more
I need a way
You told me you are the way
Truth and the life you said follow me
Take my sin and take it all
Don't wanna play them games
