Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
Find me guilty of the life I feel within
[Verse 2]
When I'm branded, this mark of shame
Should I look down, disgraced, or straight ahead and know that you must blame?
[Verse 3]
I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within
[Verse 4]
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned
Find me guilty when true guilt is from within
[Verse 5]
So point your fingers, point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you, one and the same are we
[Verse 6]
I am the secret
I am the sin
I am the guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within
[Verse 7]
I do your time, I take your fall
I'm branded guilty for us all
[Verse 8]
So point your fingers, point right at me
For I am shadows and will follow you, one and the same are we
[Verse 9]
I am your secrets
I am your sin
I am your guilty
And I am, I am the thorn within
[Verse 10]
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
I am the thorn within
[Verse 11]
I am the thorn within
