Left Hand Lyrics

I used to have to depend on them both

But I had to cut the left when he hurt me most

I used to puff the chest when pride had to boast

But I had to cut the sin in me

It came right before my fall

And it tried to take all that was precious to me

I attempted to grasp it all

But he had other plans for me

What I wouldn’t see

Was his belief in me

Was not based in his dreams for me

It was dependent on his name solely

So Holy holy holy

I need to depend on you only

Growing me to be your mouth piece

But my addictions have really cost me

I’m not talking about the drugs and drink

I’m talking bout the pride and lust that holds me by the teeth

The lack of shame that should have brought me to my knees

The envy and wrath that hit me just like a disease

But I can’t look past myself

Faced with a mirror yet can’t see that I need help

Needing a shoulder to lean on, but refusing to seek someone else

A surgeon to remove the necrosis

Dying skin and blackened flesh

While I’ve sat in lies atrocious

Just talking about it makes me wanna die

Die to self, remove the welts

Not talking suicide

But to brutalize

The hurt and pain that’s deep inside

Enough to realize

That I’m sick inside

I need my mind to defy

The voices inside it

That say if I’m quiet

I’ll recieve my prizes

And if I’m outstanding

I’ll put a spotlight on all my vices

But I won’t stop despite this

I know that my soul laid

In prostrate

With a touch like midas

He’ll turn to gold the soul of all those who are most lifeless

So if I’m vulnerable

I’ll die most honorable

Into his likeness

And I’m ready to heal this disease

On my knees

Until this flesh is lifeless

Until this flesh is lifeless

I used to have to depend on them both

But I had to cut the left when he hurt me most

I used to puff the chest when pride had to boast

But I had to cut the sin in me

Bring on the indictment

Bring on the pain

Bring your worst to the table, cuz I’m not going insane

I’ll decree right now I have my eyes to the heavens

I’ll bet it all on the seven

12 tribes who dominate nations

Blessing to the 4th generations

Cuz I rebuke the curses of earthly patrons

But it will be on Gods time so please have patience

Cuz time prepared is not time wasted

Let just face it

You cannot do it yourself

Times of the essence

We live in the present

Don’t stay in the past of your worst creations

Get up now, while your strength is rested

He won’t give up on darkest cases

He lifts you up when you think you can’t face it

When you can’t face it

The proof is abundant

It all sounds redundant

To reject his name

So I’ll cut what’s rampant

Dead and abandoned

Til he completes my change

There’s no reason to lie

I’m not about myself

I bout my wife and kids

And to finally die to self

So I’ll take on all the risk

Won’t look to no one else

I’ll cut off my left hand, without a single plan

So it won’t spread no where else

Because My sin is my disease

And you came to heal after I finally prayed on my knees

I used to have to depend on them both

But I had to cut the left when he hurt me most

I used to puff the chest when pride had to boast

But I had to cut the sin in me
