Closer to Myself Lyrics

Digging deep, I feel my conscience burn
I need to know who an' what I am
This hunger jolts me from complacency
It rocks me and makes me meet myself'Cause Jacob walked a limp to remind him
Of the greater gift, of the greater one
But when I fell, I fell to my own resources
How can I carry a truth, if I can't crawl to you?I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin
Cover me in leaves and roll me over again
'Cause I've been everybody else now I wanna be
Something closer to myselfPaint me in a different light, shed me yet another coat of skin
Mark me with ash until I'm clean again
Cause I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired
I know I can love you, I know that I canYeah an' I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin
Cover me in leaves and roll me over again
I've been everybody else now I wanna be
Something closer to myselfI wanna feel something sweeter than this sin
Cover me in leaves and roll me over again
'Cause I've been everybody else now I wanna be

Something closer to myselfAnd I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin
Cover me in leaves and roll me over again
I've been everybody else now I wanna be
Something closer to myself
