Far From Holy

My eternal forgotten prophet
Wreathed in a dark halo
She tells me my sins are forfeit
To stop craving what I know

She comforts my confessions
And takes me away anew
I begin to question
What I thought was true

How can I best summarize
What I can't comprehend?

She is far from holy
Abandoned her wings and learned to run
My personal folly
Is chasing darkness and the rising sun
'Cause my baby
Is the furthest thing from holy
That you'll ever know

Rebellion lives in her eyes
She takes the prayer from your lips
"You will survive" she crys
Wipes your tears with her fingertip

The broken scream and she answers
With mercy, freely given
With grace as terrifying as hers
How could I not give in?

She is feral and wild
She is all I've ever wanted
She is universally reviled
It is my door that she has haunted
I am just a child
A fool, who is easily rotted
From the inside out

How can I best summarize
What I can't comprehend?

She is far from holy
Abandoned her wings and learned to run
My personal folly
Is chasing darkness and the rising sun
'Cause my baby
Is the furthest thing from holy
That you'll ever know

How can I best summarize
What I can't comprehend?

How can I best summarize
What I can't comprehend?

She is far from holy
Abandoned her wings and learned to run
My personal folly
Is chasing darkness and the rising sun
'Cause my baby
Is the furthest thing from holy
That you'll ever know
