I'm Afraid I'm Not Supposed To Be Like This Lyrics - Waterdeep

Well I'm afraid I'm not supposed to be like this 

Like I was born in a land where no serpent hissed 

And I have waited a long time for Your kiss 

Well I have felt that they'd all take offense at me 

And so a fence I have built to protect the seed 

But all the bricks will secure its mortality 

I have been seated in circles and stood in disgrace 

At the noted intention to be in place 

And I have seen that one Man save the human race 

But it took His life and it took His faith 

I have risen from ashes and fed on flames 

But even so I still fear I have played a game 

And it seems no one else is as sick and depraved 

I have heard that I'm not supposed to be this way 

And still the stones that are lifted fall down to stay 

But I keep doubting and think one will strike my face 

Well He's been promising me something more than pain 

Where the cost is grace and my loss is gain 

And I have chosen because there is no other way 

I either wallow in shame 

Or humble myself and be saved 

And be saved
