Living with a Dead Soul Lyrics

People claim they want help but they don't
Enjoying the emotional highs when they come
Fixed on the thrill of venting
About the horrors of daily living
In this world that element of hell will not die
That you've accepted and you dwell in it
Who here wants light anyway?
Living in darkness is way more tempting

Like an opioid of temporary thrills
Denial of light seems to give you a pass
To live an empty life with goals made of rage
Much easier than holy congruence

And the lust we feel
And the greed we feel
To try to fill that hole
Created in us

It will only drag us down
It will never fulfill us
In our sorrow we will drown
Ripped away from the lord Jesus

And with an empty heart and a dead soul
We will hunt for carnal things to make us feel whole
When the urge seems fulfilled and the drunkenness fades
You continue to feel dread in the coming day

If you have faith in Jesus Christ
He'll drag you from the depths
He'll hear your cries
Consumed by lust
Consumed by hate
Don't let desires seal your fate
When you reach the top of the ladder of greed
You'll find there is nothing to fulfill your needs
When you truly suffer and don't long for real love
You find yourself severed from our King above
