I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
More deeply than the oceans
More abundant than the tears
Of a world embracing every heartache
And can I be the one to sacrifice?
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow?
TAKE MY WORLD APART
I AM ON MY KNEES
TAKE MY WORLD APART
BROKEN ON MY KNEES
ON MY KNEES
All said and done I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are
What I need and what I believe are worlds apart
So I pray
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
And wipe away the crimson stains
Dull the nails that still remain
More and more I need you now
Owe you more each passing hour
The battles between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take my beauty, take my tears
Sin-soaked heart, make it yours
Take my world all apart
Take it now, take it now
And serve the ones that I despise
Speak the words I can't deny
Watch the world I used to love
Fall to dust and blow away
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
Wipe away the crimson stains
Dull the nails that still remain
Take my beauty, take my tears
Sin-soaked heart, make it yours
All the things I cannot hide
Take my beauty, take my tears
Take my world apart
Take my world apart
I pray, and I pray, and I pray
Take my world apart
This world apart
