Lyrics
Immodesty was once upsetting
TV commercials once put me at unease
But now the tighter the clothes the better
And a glimpse at the flesh never bothers me

I've become accustomed to darkness
I am beginning to find my way around

I've become accustomed to the stench
The filth has now become a home

I've become accustomed to the wine
Acquiring a taste for what I once spit out of my mouth

How did this happen?
How did I regress so far?
How did this happen?
What can be done?

Well, just as I've gained weight
From months of bad choices and mistakes
It all can be reversed
But by no means over night

But if I continue to shun
The change will have begun
And the things of the world
Will once again be repulsive to me

Oh Lord help
This is so hard to ask
Since I never know
what shape it will take
But still I ask for Your grace

The light of the world is like a dimly light bulb
And I've learned to prefer it over the sun
Oh but no more Lord, please no more
