Lyrics
I was always one of the righteous
I considered myself morally upright
Never lived outside of the light
I always lived in a state of goodness and virtue
Kept a close watch on the whitewash
I closely monitored superficial cleanliness and concealment of inner flaws
Disguising the dead bones inside
Hiding the hidden flaws or sins within
Disguising the dead bones inside
Reiteration of concealing internal flaws
I was always one of the good ones
I was always among the morally upright individuals
Keeping tabs on everyone else
Keeping a watchful eye on others
Sure that I was one of the chosen
Confident that I was chosen or favored
I was a child of Him
Identifying as a child of a divine entity
I was a child of Him
Reiteration of being a child of a divine entity
But you buried me in the bright light
Feeling exposed and vulnerable in a bright, revealing environment
Yeah you held my eyes to the sun
Someone forced me to confront harsh realities
Till I could see that
Leading to a realization
I was worse
Discovering I was morally inferior than I thought
Than I ever feared I could be
Realizing I was worse than my worst fears
But somehow I was loved
Despite my flaws, I experienced love
More than I ever dared to believe
Experiencing more love than I dared to believe possible
Because of you
Attributing the love received to someone else
I was always one of the blameless
Considering myself morally faultless
Or at least that's what I believed
Believing in my moral innocence
Never thought I could've been blinded
Unaware of being spiritually blinded
Till I could no longer see
Realizing my blindness when it was too late
Till I could no longer see
Reiteration of losing sight
But you buried me in the bright light
Feeling exposed and vulnerable in a bright, revealing environment (repeated)
Yea you held my eyes to the sun
Someone forced me to confront harsh realities (repeated)
Till I could see that
Leading to a realization (repeated)
I was worse
Discovering I was morally inferior than I thought (repeated)
Than I ever feared I could be
Realizing I was worse than my worst fears (repeated)
But somehow I was loved
Despite my flaws, I experienced love (repeated)
More than I ever dared to believe
Experiencing more love than I dared to believe possible (repeated)
Because of you
Attributing the love received to someone else (repeated)
You showed me I was worse
Realizing the depth of my moral shortcomings
Than I ever feared I could be
Acknowledging that I was worse than my worst fears
But somehow I was loved
Despite my flaws, I experienced love (repeated)
More than I ever dared to believe
Experiencing more love than I dared to believe possible (repeated)
Because of you
Attributing the love received to someone else (repeated)
