Bed of Lies

 

"Bed of Lies"

No, I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I am

I don't think that I can take another empty moment

I don't think that I can fake another hollow smile

When it's not enough just to be sorry

I don't think that I could take another talk about it

Just like me you got needs

And they're only a whisper away

And we softly surrender

To these lives that we've tendered away

No, I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I'm marking it down to learning

'Cause I am

I don't wanna be the one who turns the whole thing over

I don't wanna be somewhere where I just don't belong

Where it's not enough just be sorry

Don't you know I feel the darkness closing in

I tried to be more than me

And I gave till it all went away

And we've only surrendered

To the worst part of these winters that we've made

No, I would not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I'm marking it down to learning

I am all that I'll ever be

When you lay your hands

Over me but don't go weak on me now

I know that it's weak

But God help me I need this

I will not sleep in this bed of lies

So toss me out and turn in

And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes

I'm marking it down to learning

I'm marking it down to learning

'Cause I am

    This song is all about trying to get away from the lies he is living. Sometimes we find ourselves living a lie that we have to escape from. This task is not easy. It is always hard to get away from past lies and past sins. They constantly weigh heavier on our shoulders the longer we hold onto them and eventually, if they aren't taken care of, they will crush us. There is no easy way to escape from lies, but the only way to completely get rid of them is through Jesus Christ.

    Jesus Christ performed the Atonement for each and every one of us. He endured more pain than any one of us could ever imagine. He paid for our sins so that we could repent and return to live with our Heavenly Father. Not only did he suffer our sins, but he took upon himself our pains and sufferings. All sorrow, worry, pain, stress, depression, anger, frustration, sickness, and sin was paid for by Him. It was not for his own personal glory but for the chance that we would have eternal glory and live with Him again. I hope that we all can remember what Christ did for us and not make it go to waste. Repent and use His infinite atonement so we can one day return to live with our beloved Father in Heaven.
