I burned. I burned out. I burned out bright, I burned out bright, But I believed I was a light. I thought salvation lied within, But it lies within His hands. I chose to look at myself In myself While my flesh fell into hell. I was not made to stand idly by. I was not made to promote a false faith. Yet I did. I fooled myself. Your light grows dim Your sheep have lost a shepherd. In exchange for a willing slaughter. Slaughtered by their “love”. Your ships can’t come to harbor if they’re all lost at sea. My church is not a brand. My christ is not a fashion fleeting away.

The Lighthouse
I burned. I burned out. I burned out bright, I burned out bright, But I believed I was a light. I thought salvation lied within, But it lies within His hands. I chose to look at myself In myself While my flesh fell into hell. I was not made to stand idly by. I was not made to promote a false faith. Yet I did. I fooled myself. Your light grows dim Your sheep have lost a shepherd. In exchange for a willing slaughter. Slaughtered by their “love”. Your ships can’t come to harbor if they’re all lost at sea. My church is not a brand. My christ is not a fashion fleeting away.
