tried to stand straight in a room that bends

English lyrics

I tried to build a door with broken hands, tried to stand straight in a room that bends. Every promise I made got dust in the seams, every clean new morning dragged old dreams. I know the road. I know the name. But knowing never pulled me through. I need the hand that sees me through. Take me back, not to where I was, to where I was Yours. Take me back, strip the false from the force. I came angry, I came ashamed, I came carrying my own name. God, if mercy still knows my track, I need You now. Take me back. I kept moving just to call it faith, kept saying “later” to a debt I made. I wore survival like a sacred coat, then found my prayer inside my throat. No halo. No clean excuse. Only this body, this hour, this floor, and one hard knock on one closed door. Clang in the thought, bang in the chest, name what I broke, lay it to rest. Back-track, black glass, cracked past, fast breath, step-step, debt-debt, left with less. Bell hit, pulse split, tongue click, truth stick, God in the gap where the big words fail. I don't need thunder, I need return. I don't need glory, I need to unlearn. Turn me around. Take me back. Take me back, not to innocence, to responsibility. Take me back, not to hiding, to the place where You can see me. Let the old lie lose its name. Let the new man earn the flame. I came empty. Keep me exact. God, I need You now. Take me back.
