Cleansed Feathers (Inspired by Hollywood Undead's "Black Dahlia")

Intro: The story of a being lead astray and is constantly questioning God, until he gave up trying to seek answers on his own. 

*instrumental* 
I love you. 
I hate me. 
Yet you. 
Forgave thee. 
All these sins.
Dirty.
All this pain. 
Thirty. 
My heart was. Aching. 
You never, forsake me. 
How could you do that? (How could you do that?) 
I was very mean. Evil. 
Killed many dreams. Dreadful. 
My lover. Enabled. (Her Father. Disabled) 
The rape and the sorrow. 
Your love. I borrow. 
But how can you love/forgive a monster like me? 

Hook: I cried. Yesterday. So ashamed. Yet you said. Thou cleansed me. Why? Thou cleansed me. Why? And then, I bow to you. So confused. But never used. Cleansed feathers. You cleansed me forever. 

Drunk and had a party. 
Relapsed and said I'm sorry. 
Tired of the back and forth. (Tired of the back and forth) 
Demons. Arising. Your name I'm praising. 
Yet they attack me. (Yet they attack me) 
I lost so many friends.
Pain never ends. 
Got into fights and got suspended. 
Jail time. Plenty. 
These drugs? Never loved me. 
But yet you are not done with thee. 
Why won't you let me be? 

I cried. Yesterday. So ashamed. Yet you said. Thou cleansed me. Why? Thou cleansed me. Why? And then, I bow to you. So confused. But never used. Cleansed feathers. You cleansed me forever. 

My Mom got shot at 18. 
Barely survived at 16. 
Got bullied at 13. 
Girls raped me at 14.
Was made fun of 15. 
All this pain that you seen. 
And I went through all of this stuff. Just when I was a teen. 
I read your Bible and tried not to go back. 
But the demons keep screaming that you will never help carry my rack. 
All the lies and the severed ties. 
I'm tired of questioning and hurting. Just help me tonight! 

I cried. Yesterday. So ashamed. Yet you said. Thou cleansed me. Thank you. Thou cleansed me. THANK YOU!  And then, I bow to you. Not confused. But never used. Cleansed feathers. You cleansed me forever. 

Thank you. (I feel so healed) 
Thank you. (I forgive them cause I'm healed) 
Thank you. (I made my mistakes) 
Thank you. (No more heartache) 
Thank you. (For giving me another chance) 
Thank you. (Understanding my circumstance) 
Thank you. (I pray for glorious rain) 
Thank you. (I am no longer like Cain) 

Peter 5:5-7
