There used to be sadness

That gave way to madness

And in this place

I realized my disgrace

I realized why I hurt

I've realized why I hate

I've realized why I feel so unclean

I've realized why I can't stand my face

I turned on you oh lord

I turned my back on the truth

I ran away from all I knew

But most of all

I ran away from you

Please forgive me

Please cleanse me

I have come back lord

Hold me close and beat away my shame

Please forgive me.
