Thorn Within

[Instrumental Intro]

[Refrain]

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

Find me guilty of the life I feel within

[Verse 1]

When I'm branded, this mark of shame

Should I look down disgraced or straight ahead and know that you must blame?

[Chorus]

I am (I am) the secret

I am (I am) the sin

I am (I am) the guilty

And I am (And I am), I am the thorn within

[Refrain]

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned

Find me guilty when true guilt is from within

[Verse 2]

So point your fingers, point right at me

For I am shadows and will follow you, one and the same are we

[Chorus]

I am (I am) the secret

I am (I am) the sin

I am (I am) the guilty

And I am (And I am), I am the thorn within

[Post-Chorus]

I do your time, I take your fall

I'm branded guilty for us all

[Verse 2]

So point your fingers, point right at me

For I am shadows and will follow you, one and the same are we

[Chorus]

I am (I am) your secrets

I am (I am) your sin

I am (I am) your guilty

And I am (And I am), I am the thorn within

[Outro]

I am the thorn within

I am the thorn within

I am the thorn within

I am the thorn within

I am the thorn within
