Fire
Vhs Collection Lyrics

Young believer, caught the fever
I was young and impressionable, and I fell under the influence of a powerful force

In the hot sun
I was exposed to this force in a harsh and unforgiving environment

Sunday speaker gonna save my soul
I turned to a televangelist for salvation

A T.V. preacher double featuring a re-run
The message was repeated over and over again, without any real substance or change

Champagne Jesus come on make me whole
I believed that a flashy and extravagant version of Jesus could fill the void in my life

I got a lustful bad feeling
I realized that my desires were sinful and shameful

That I am a unholy ghost
I felt like a corrupted and irredeemable person

I′m shaking my fist I am screaming
I was angry and frustrated at my situation

For reasons that God only knows
Even I didn't understand why I was so lost and broken

I need fire
I yearn for a transformative experience that could save me from myself

I got you to blame
I hold someone else responsible for leading me astray

I can't be saved, I′ll burn in your flames
I feel so hopeless that even the punishment of eternal damnation is preferable to my current state

Your fire
I am drawn to the destructive power of something that could burn away my impurities

Young and tempted I relented like a bad son
Once again, I gave in to temptation and felt like a disappointment to those around me

I repented then I thouched myself
I tried to make amends for my sins, but I couldn't resist my carnal desires

Velvet demon screaming louder than a shotgun
My inner demons became louder and more overwhelming over time

Dirty dreaming go and love yourself
I indulged in sinful fantasies and sought pleasure where I could find it

I just can′t change
I feel like my flaws and weaknesses are too deeply ingrained in my character

Breaking by the minute
I am slowly crumbling under the weight of my mistakes and failures

Save me now, save me now
I am desperate for salvation and redemption

Forget what they say
I am willing to ignore the opinions and criticisms of others, in my pursuit of something that could change my life

Talk but I don't listen
I am too consumed by my own problems to pay attention to anyone else's advice or perspective

I can't be saved
I have lost all hope of ever finding a way out of my situation
