I've burned down all the bridges that promote the constant
claims that I need you in my heart, here inside.
And as I strike the match to sear my conscience I realize that the truth I hide will never die.
Fighting to invite my own truth consumes my mind with means to fill the void on my own.
But no matter where I set standards
my sins still oppose my stance from committing to an independence
from a God that demands perfection and I'm seeing that...
I CAN'T ESCAPE THE FACT THAT I NEED YOU
"I love you," I lied, to fill the gaping hole inside.
But as she leaves I feel the same as before.
And as the incense dies the fragrance cries that I‚m empty once more...
It's just another diverted attempt I've made a finding myself inside, but...
I CAN'T ESCAPE THE FACT THAT I NEED YOU
