Luke Knodel - Life Preserver Lyrics

I'm a mess, I don't need no one's respect
That means I need some respect, double negative
I'm a logical person, I'm subtle, delicate
Like a hospital surgeon
I like tropical excursions and topical sermons
A lot about me is not typical, gotta peek behind the curtain
Inside the person
I'm talking about the mind not your blind assertions
There's more to me, that is certain
Anyway, why so many people hurting
Why's there so much evil lurking
In me emerging, it's a wee disturbing
I dream dreams and see scenes of murder
I'm in need of nurture, God complete the merger
Kill the sin in me and release the burden
You're my life preserver
Preserve my life, though I don't deserve my life
Hurting til he brought me to the surface
I am certain that I will serve the light
I could've been murked at night
But now I yearn for right
Living I'm forgiven on condition that Christ
Payed the price, and now I'm hype
So give me a life jacket, I feel like a slight addict
I'm right back at it, in bad habits, keep floating
Or I'll be showing up in a closed casket
Can elaborate flows capture
My soul's chatter? My sister asks me to go faster
But then they don't really pick up anything that I'm saying
They listening in vain displaying amazement
And saying I am slaying it, replaying it, surveying it
It's odd when I'm praying but not obeying I'm straying
But God is saving his kids, there's a lot in the sky living
They praising God amazing, not decaying
While I'm killing it, this was lit, this was sick, villainous
Limited edition exhibiting when I'm spitting quick
Preserve my life, though I don't deserve my life
Hurting til he brought me to the surface
I am certain that I will serve the light
I could've been murked at night
But now I yearn for right
Living I'm forgiven on condition that Christ
Payed the price, and now I'm hype
The Spirit inspires me, I write for society
Finding my privacy, I read scripture quietly
Fighting fiends and their dynasties, but what's next
The sin inside of me needs to get wrecked
I want to start living correct with no regrets
And don't we all? Even though we slip and fall
I hear His call, right through those walls
That box me in, I'm lost again
Preserve my life when I'm drowning
Help me out, I'm shouting, heart's pounding
It starts sounding loud like Dolby surrounding
But God's surmounting all the sin within
Then He crowns me as His kid
Preserve my life, though I don't deserve my life
Hurting til he brought me to the surface
I am certain that I will serve the light
I could've been murked at night
But now I yearn for right
Living I'm forgiven on condition that Christ
Payed the price, and now I'm hype
