Ezekiel 16 Lyrics by Anna Owens

Ribs

2023

(Intro)
I came out of the womb struggling
Born into a world that offered no pity
When I was just a baby
My own people left me to bleed
Naked and bare 'til God clothed me
(Verse 1)
When I grew into my beauty
With my privilege I became carefree
Gave my love and my harlotry to those who would have it
Adorned myself with the words of men
From them I drank to fulfill the thirst within
Offered my body before them like incense
Left behind the days of my youth and my innocence
On the bed of defeat and bitter sins
There I lost something I've been trying to get back since
(Pre-Chorus)
Flesh and bones like a shrine
Paying all I have just to feel something inside
All I gained was temporary pleasure
Which turned to hurt me in equal measure
Lovers were revealed to be enemies
Lustful thoughts turned into adultery
God's hand of fury and jealousy
Came and swept me to my knees
(Chorus)
Mercy, mercy
When I deserved to bleed
He offered:
Mercy, mercy
In exchange for my unholy deeds
Mercy mercy, washed clean
Mercy mercy, washed clean
(Bridge)
Crimson red turned white, washed clean
My scarlet letter, my testimony
My chains fell off but I still have the scars left for all to see
For all to see
(Repeat Pre-Chorus, Chorus)
