So, what now?
I am here again praying for forgiveness
Ruing for my recklessness
End sinning, how?
Shouldn't have followed the desire of my chest
And I should have given You the rest
Even if I know that after sinning, I will be blessed
For me that's not what is winning, that was a mess

Can't stop to transgress
For the devil has caressed
Me, he had me possessed
But I am here to confess, profess
Wearing my red vest
I don't want to be in distress
I am ready to be redressed

I have already buried the skeleton of the old me
It's been bloody bruises and actions to fold me
But it seems the ghost hasn't been entombed in the grave
Some dreams, it's the host, navigating my mind like a slave
And it concerns me a lot more than what you think
It burns me, it's hot, the penalty for crossing the brink

And it just raises a lot of questions in my mind
How to deafen my ears when shadow whispers behind?
When I foresee red and black, how to make my eyes blind?
When I'm in a battle with bones, how to win the fight?
When they are lurking their plans, how to search for signs?
When I committed a crime, guilt, how will I be fine?

Can't stop to transgress
For the devil has caressed
Me, he had me possessed
But I am here to confess, profess
I am wearing my red vest
I don't want to be in distress
I am ready to be redressed

No other clouds raining, filling all over my head
Just those colored dark grays, the color of kingdom's wrecks
Feeling ashamed is what I got, ironic how I am a wretch
Far from serenity, my heart's pounding out of dread
Far from purity, my art was stained with red
Crime, treachery, how will I start over? Wishing this isn't my last breath

But I know it's not still too late to do a repentance
It is great for Him to cast out all of the burdens
And admitting that I'm weak and will weaken
Then I know He will give me all of His strength
And He will mend all my wounds, stop the bleedin'
He will be with me, I will still be breathin'

Can't stop to transgress
For the devil has caressed
Me, he had me possessed
But I am here to confess, profess
Wearing my red vest
I don't want to be in distress
I am ready to be redressed
