My skin creeps toward self destruction
my heart gnaws as it pounds every beat
my soul is petitioning for reconstruction
whats lingering that isn't dead is incomplete
You bonded me to an eternity i don't deserve
a prospect to ethereal for my sinister kind
sweet, satisfying sin wrenches my every nerve
rescue yourself from woe; leave my vulnerable essence behind
I longed for a dance with you at my redemption
to embody me in your embrace of tranquility
but your strain on me has softened
your perpetual tenderness requests my stability
God, if you're listening i'm guilty i'm the one who forswore
please allow me to grieve abandoned with my humility
Although i vow you'll habitually be the one i ask for
don't feed into my nightmares with your mercy
I want to dream alone
Your flawlessness is a persistent reminder that i'm unworthy
I'd rather sink in immorality than throttle your throne

When it's my day to die
bury me in a glass case
so you see the part of me that devastated you and I

Please forgive me for I have sinned
resign from me you're chasing the wind
