Crucify Me
drown me in hate, bleed me dry,
So I rise up in love with the tears that I cry,
cut the chord, bound me in chain,
Batter me, beat me until I feel no pain,
Torture my body so there's no will to live,
Take from me until I've no more to give,
Rip out my soul, leave me there hung,
Throw me to old, steal me from young,
Remove my sight so your face I can't see,
change who I am so I am no longer me,
Let me crawl the walls that lock me in tight,
Hide me from day, forbid me from night,
Punish my ears with a never ending song,
Lock me away so I no longer belong,
Drag me from Here, surround me with sin,
Starve me of all until my body wears thin,
Crucify me, like on the lords final day,
Put me on a cross, force me to pray
Dig me a grave, bury me alive,
So I never see light, so I no longer survive.
