On the table... lies
"Want another?"
"I think... I'll pass."

I move to get off of the stool.
Amid the smoke of cigarrettes
I see a familliar face
And feel like such a fool.

So many stories to get through
I'd been telling lies
Just to clear my honest name.
Because I hoped you never knew.

But now you see me for who I am.
You now know what it is
That I've been up to.

Another Empty Glass

Another empty glass
On the table... lies
"Want another?"
"I think... I'll pass."

I move to get off of the stool.
Amid the smoke of cigarrettes
I see a familliar face
And feel like such a fool.

So many stories to get through
I'd been telling lies
Just to clear my honest name.
Because I hoped you never knew.

But now you see me for who I am.
You now know what it is
That I've been up to.
And tears drip past your concrete dam.

I suppose you'd have to know me to know this is alegorical. I'me 17. Never been to a bar in my life. I'm also male, so it's not what you think.
In the light of God's glory, man is filthy. And we do filthy things.
I as a human, sin. And Christ sees that. And it must hurt him so much to see someone he loves turn from him and do whatever I want.
I then lie to myself about it. I tell myself I'm not that bad. I make excuses, rationalize, and lie more. I'm not an honest person, at least not to myself. But Jesus still loves me, and even though I hurt him, he will still accept me.

It's love's redemption's story.
