worlds apart

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 tried 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 loved
more deeply than the oceans,
more abundant than the tears of a world embracing every heartache

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

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 for all you are because what i need and what i believe are worlds apart

take my world apart
i am on my knees
take my world apart
broken on my knees

i look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life has cost
i wipe away the crimson stains and all the nails that still remain
more and more i need you now, i owe you more each passing hour
the battle between grace and pride i gave up not so long ago
so steal my heart and take the pain, wash the feet and cleanse my pride
take the selfish, take the weak and all the things i cannot hide
take the beauty, take my tears, the sin-soaked heart and make it yours
take my world 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 know fall to dust and blow away
i look beyond the empty cross, forgetting what my life has cost
so wipe away the crimson stains and dull the nails that still remain
steal my heart and take the pain, take the selfish, take the weak
and all the things i cannot hide, take the beauty, take my tears
take my world apart, take my world apart
