I'd share the sky
with the clouds
but I had to grow my wings
but I had to lose my skin
I dared to reach
paradise
but my brothers took my skin
but my brothers used my skin

and I couldn't let them win
so I had to let this in
now it's tearing us within
and it's the fruit our sins
cause I had to grow my wings
but my brothers used my skin

I made them crawl
took my time nice and slow
feels so good to lose control
like a witness, watched them fall

now I'm free to flee this skin
but I will not shed this sin
and I cannot be complete

Stop and start
A beating heart
Boil my blood
Burn my skin
Free my ashes
Hellfire within

This dead soul consumed
By a vengeful world
No heaven or hell
Eternal purgatory
Living cost
So much more
Than death

Strike fear
Into them
Make them good
Because they fear
Retribution
Judgement will come
Did you pay your dues?

Sins wrapped in shadows
The darkness within
Slips out the cracks
Turning innocence out
Guilty pleasures
Everyday trangressions
Just one more
The promise of tomorrow
Be redeemed
Pray to be forgiven

False perfection
Surface beauty
A shining beacon
Blinding saintliness
A matyr to the cause
By living purely
Give not onto temptation

I don’t care if you steal a quick look,
when you think I can’t see it.
As long as it’s furtive, it’s by the book.
A man looks at a woman;
it’s only human.
But when you stare
at my big “girls”, then leer in my face--
you’re a disgrace.
I’m not putting up with your ******.
The next time it happens,
I’m going Thelma and Louise.

Destroy my ignorance
Annihilate my arrogance
Scream my sins on the mountain top
So the world might know of the evil I have done.
So the dead might speak one last whisper
Cleansing me of my debt to them.

In the presence of something so pure
I feel as if my soul lies in the depths of depravity
My heart has become a stone
stained black by the actions of a lost soul.
Send my message to the dead
So they might forgive my transgression
In this life or the next

Be my savior
Open my eyes to the wrong I have done
And although you look like me
Your heart is as white as the mountain top.

Save me from what I have become
Save me from what I have done
Speak to me through the darkness of the night.
I do not deserve your gentle kindness
But allow me to save you
When you have used your own heart
To wipe mine clean.

It's my dying wish
your suffering be equal
to your betrayal.

Building an inferno
Is a part time occupation
Finding retribution
Is a pleasant moment's pastime
Marrying the two takes more
Than just a pastor

Zeus is back from his vacation
And he wants a glass of water.
