Born Again

I thought I had been born again

Sparks flying from the pulpit

I was fighting fires for my sins

My face against the carpet

In the pews I lost my hope

Where I was supposed to find it

It was all I ever knew

And it left me broken hearted

I thought I had found freedom

When I moved into the city

I was puking out the window

I was trying to be pretty

They say fake it till you make it

And they make it look so easy

I was smiling on the outside

On the inside I was screaming

I was broken when you found me

I was drowning in self pity

It was lonely in the darkness

I was sinking, I was spinning

I'm not quite sure how it happened

I don't know what you were thinking

But you reached out your hand

And offered me a new beginning
