Lyrics -
(Chorus):
I can’t unsee the devil as me
If I keep consuming unconsciously (x2)
(Verse 1):
Frozen in a lake of Treachery,
scrolling down my news feed,
condemning all the ails of society.
I swear by Christianity.
I’ll help others in need
only if they’re here legally.
I buy into group identity
sold by Sean Hannity
and Trevor Noah on the Daily.
I’m black. I’m white.
Far left. Alt-Right.
My plight. My fight.
Pick sides. Divide.
Reactionary puppet punditry
versus Late Night parody,
programming the country
to respond with animosity
when they disagree,
attacking my beliefs is the same as attacking me.
Help me I’m oppressed by the system!
Help me. I’m depressed. I’m a victim.
Willfully blind to the vision.
Lying to myself with some fiction.
That’s the way I hide my addictions.
(Bridge):
I am you...
I want to see the God in me.
I am you...
How do I see the God in me?
I am you...
(Chorus):
I can’t unsee the devil as me
if I keep consuming unconsciously. (x2)
(Verse 2):
I don’t want to look in the mirror.
Blind like King Lear
out of Shakespeare.
I don’t want to understand.
It’s easier to fear.
I don’t want to move.
I prefer a puppeteer.
Frozen in my hate,
I see the Devil wait,
tempting to fate,
Testing on my faith,
Do I have the grace
and the strength it takes
to refuse the snakes
and not live a fake
life for my own sake?
Make no mistake.
I am wide awake!
(Bridge):
I am you...
I want to see the God in me.
I am you...
How do I see the God in me?
I am you...
I know it’s there…
I feel it inside,
but I don’t know where…
(Verse 3):
I’m breaking.
Can’t keep faking,
waiting for Christ
so I don’t sacrifice.
Live a lie,
Comply and crucify!
I’d rather live in sin.
Then resurrect the God within…
‘Cause then I’d have to change!
‘Cause then I’d have to change!
God, tell me. Is it me
holding back me?
The real enemy is
my victim mentality.
Illusions of duality
beget inequality.
To take back my sovereignty,
I must simply live responsibly.
I will carry you off the cross!
Resurrect love inside my thoughts. (x4)
