"Dethrone Me"

This world is growing dimmer
Strength is wearing thinner
Can you feel it
Integrity is a dying art
Nobody cares about who they are
Just how they appear

Let's get back to the heart
Back to where it all starts

Our chances are getting slimmer
A world engulfed by hopeless sinners
Do you see it
When we make this about us
Who else is there left to trust
We've seen the worst already in ourselves

[chorus]
I don't wanna be my own god anymore
The needs I try to satisfy
Always end up running dry
And leave me empty, crying out for more
No more self-serving, truth perverting
Hollowness of this idolatry
Dethrone me

My heart is growing weary
I cry out, but no one hears me
Don't know who I'm pleading to
When the strength I've had has been my own
And I feed it from a hand-made throne
The flame will smolder inside me

Let's get back to the heart
Get back to where it all starts

[chorus]
I don't wanna be my own god anymore
The needs I try to satisfy
Always end up running dry
And leave me empty, crying out for more
No more self-serving, truth perverting
Hollowness of this idolatry
Dethrone me

[bridge]
Cast down
Cast down
Falling
On my knees
Will you break me

[chorus]
