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
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
