Man's Soul lyrics

(Verse 1)

The more I meditate, I hesitate to even show face

The more I hesitate, I contemplate my life is a waste

My spirit levitates to take a glance at truth of His grace

As my flesh emulates every act of disgrace

So deceptive in perception of its hunger and greed

Maliciously relentless to fulfill whatever it needs

Undisciplined, rebellious, no regard for righteousness

Ever since it tasted death, he desires nothing less

Too many nights I spent in tears, drowning in fear

I'm never making it, through all the time I spend faking it

My soul is proving capability and prone that when alone

Without the father's consecration flesh manipulates constantly

Continual battles my inner being goes through

Why do I do the things I know I'm not supposed to

Why don't I do the things that I know I should do

Who s to blame except me and me alone

I found my enemy's home was in my soul

(Chorus)

What could inhibit a habit

The dark corners lurking

Demonic principalities when other evils working

You can't escape fate, allow what's in your heart to tailgate

You're the only cellmate to unlock what locked the jail gate

What could inhibit a habit

The dark corners lurking

Demonic principalities when other evils working

You can't escape fate, allow what's in your heart to tailgate

You're the only cellmate to unlock what locked the jail gate

(Verse 2)

Somewhere inside the crevice, I long to face the limits

The premise is death for execution of flesh

Passed on authority and so control

The tree of life I chose, taking shape of His mold

Indulge in fruit too, whatever you do, I do, we crew

Give into a city, evil, not for me, you you

Doom can't loom if I no longer give it room zoom a zoom

You're free to explode for miles with a loud boom

Grip it tightly I hold with no intention to fold

Toe to toe and blow to blow, flow to flow I stand firm

Learn to discern, circumstances are changed

Do a dance with death, til my soul's last breath

When I'm at my hardest

Can salvage my image tarnished

What can make me whole again

The blood of Jesus

Freed indeed

Down the slanted hill I skied, high speed

Managed to get vantage when I got tree'd

(Chorus)

What could inhibit a habit

The dark corners lurking

Demonic principalities when other evils working

You can't escape fate, allow what's in your heart to tailgate

You're the only cellmate to unlock what locked the jail gate

What lies in a man's soul

(Verse 3)

I found that evil doesn't have a face, or let alone a place

It just lingers in the void over an open space

Searching out a victim to nuzzle up against

Take under its wing, inhabit, then reign supreme

Fickle control, it slowly conquers a man's soul

Behold real TV, even realer when it takes its toll

Unfold, with those punches, you don't have to roll

Toss yourself at the cross, and escape the death hold

More vibrant than a radiant redhead

With flashlights for fingers, the illuminated words of Christ

Put that on ice for a spell, pray tell, how in the world do

You excel in the glory of God, and then rebel

Letting death valley grip you with fear of falling down

Evil only breeds and feeds when you allow it to hang around

So get down, hit knees where prayers don't cease

What's lurking probably shouldn't even be working
