Description

musically, this song for some reason reminds me of the intros/altros that Saturday Night Live plays going into commercials and back to the show. lyrically, this song is basically a prayer and one that i've prayed at least a zillion umpteen times. written by anne davis. © 2002 sometimes i write songs (BMI) http://www.annedavismusic.com

Lyrics

TEMPLE OF CONTRADICTIONS who's this with a temple of contradictions? no, that's not me, i'd never do that don't try to tell me differently don't make me face up to my hypocricy i've been spitting into the wind i've been chasing fire this wandering heart of mine's traded integrity for compromise CHORUS hey God, can you help these concrete feet walk away from temptation Godspeed? 'cause i'm weakening like the seams in my worn out faded jeans hey God, can you come and clean up my insides? i'm tired of whitewashing the outside here's my unveiled heart bleeding down my sleeve can you hear it beating out forgive me, forgive me? can you hear it beating out forgive me? i say i'm an honest person so when did my tongue become coated with white lies? i say i'm a wholesome woman so how come i've been in the dark too much with this guy? i feel like a basket that keeps trying to hold water i feel like a traitor who kisses his friend then turns him over (CHORUS) BRIDGE why do i do the things i don't want to do? what pulls me away from demonstrating my love for you? i'm a little embarrassed i'm a lot ashamed won't you silence this raging thunder in this temple of contradictions? (CHORUS) written by anne davis © sometimes i write songs (BMI)
