Confused so deep inside herself, beneath his cold embrace
From all her helpless failed attempts through life to find her place
Within his arms, she’s lost herself but soon enough she sees
When he’s gone, she will have nothing left; She’s screaming on her knees

Is this what you have asked for?
You want me to give up my life so you can take control!
Is this what I need to do?
Embrace me yet stalemate prevents me from filling with You!

He holds himself in low esteem, retreating to that place inside
Where pleasure brazen pictures bring gives torture to his mind
Slipping down a darkened hole of lust like rotting trees,
He throws his fists in agony; He’s screaming on his knees

Break me down (repeat)

I feel You break me down again!
Breaking down this will within!
I feel You break me down again!
Breaking down this will within!

Is this what you have asked for?
You want me to give up my life so you can take control!
Is this what I need to do?
Embrace me yet stalemate prevents me from filling with You!
Is this all there is to life?
You try to get closer, yet I keep pushing You away!
Is there a way from this pain?
I know there’s a way out! God show me the way out!!
