Lyrics:
I'm losing contact
Forgetting what is real
Able to touch, but not able to feel
It's easier, to shut out everyone
I'm chasing after my newest distraction to escape it all
My God, oh, my God – what have I become?
The self-addicted one
My God, oh, my God – You never failed me
You're what I need
So often, I'm the sleeping prayer
More often, I'm the weeping betrayer
Sometimes I play the martyr, become the traitor
The humbled sinner, has never been a role I knew to play
Treason
A pound of flesh is the debt
Leaving a crippled man
I'll give You all I have left
A straining outstretched hand
Is it enough?
Reach down
Take me back
Behind the Song:
“My God” is about how isolationism is subconsciously applauded by our society, yet it causes so many personal problems. We are a self-absorbed community, believing we shouldn’t need others and should be able to stand on our own. However, when we withdraw like that, we become more and more numb to the human condition and our own emotions. We begin living however we see fit and smile as accountability fades away. This is treason of sorts, knowing fully where our loyalties should lie but serving ourselves instead. This song is a call to get back to God and the body of believers, to pursue God’s glory instead of our own selfishness.” – Ben Olin (This Beautiful Republic)
