Lyrics

Born not of innocence but infantile avidity I let this mortal frame enrage my heart and conquer me Is this the light I claim I want the world to see? Or this the salt He said He needed me to be? The Pressure's building to a boil on my tongue Festering, writhing still Festering, writhing 'til the tension climaxes A delicate balance in a maelstrom of misery It seems that solace is a fantasy and peace alludes my inmost being Only His heart contains the will to hold so great a peace Still I pray I feel this madness fades, I feel this madness fade Ensnaring thoughts slip through my mind like poison Ophidian words drip from my lips in venomous wrath If I could bridle this fire, if I could tame this spark But I know that it's futile without Your intervention all I need is resignation to a greater dependance Born not of innocence but infantile avidity I let this mortal frame enrage my heart and conquer me Is this the light I claim I want the world to see? Or this the salt He said He needed me to be?
