Carnal

A nightmare made of circumstance
That's piled up and twisted
In the mind's eye
Everything exaggerates
And a carnal feeling
Repress it though you try
The side of you that shrinks away
With you until you die
It's a liar don't believe
Anything you feel
When the fire strips away
What will it reveal

Internal battle rages
But most try to hide

I'm telling you the reality
No one is perfect
Not a single person can claim to be
Those who say they have no sin
Are lying through their teeth
Justified by faith and not what you achieve

A fight between two natures
That's piled up and twisted
In the mind's eye
Everything exaggerates
And a carnal feeling
Repress it though you try
The side of you that shrinks away
With you until you die
It's a liar don't believe
Anything you feel
When the fire strips away
What will it reveal

Internal battle rages
But most try to hide

I'm telling you the reality
No one is perfect
Not a single person can claim to be
Those who say they have no sin
Are lying through their teeth
Justified by faith and not what you achieve

I'm telling you the reality
No one is perfect
Not a single person can claim to be
Those who say they have no sin
Are lying through their teeth
Justified by faith and not what you achieve
