I Am Lyrics

I am a fuse lit burn and glow so you'd better get away
if you can't defuse I will explode look at this mess I've made
I am the hero I am the snake caught in both lives
look past the fangs and just see the cape we'll pretend that it's alright
but you see who I am
underneath it all
I am redemption I am whole
I am a tragic wreck made perfect by a love I can't control
I am determined to be defined by my hits not just my misses
stand up tall and say that this is who I am
I am addiction wrapped in a blanket of self control that's worn so thin and tattered that the air seeps through the holes
I am admission to a history of falling short
a past that's held me captive from accepting I am yours
but I am yours underneath
I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I'm sure to steer myself somewhere that I do not belong
I am perfectly created with imperfect operation
I'll put my hope in grace and know I'm never too far gone
This is my redemption
My reward
I am a tragic Wreck made perfect by a love I don't deserve
