My Salvation

I can't promise my soul will see the light It's like a hollowed-out bone I'm not sure my soul will ever travel home Not while my heart is black as night Not now my heart is like chewed up ebony dog stick Hard and heavy with the weight of a sinking brick Thrown, threw, through a church window I can't promise you, my soul Or that I will ever see the light of home. A palace or walk with you in a sacred garden. Not when every day is just another night Spent trying to redeem something, Someone lost, who believes in wrong and right, But after all these struggles, still—I am not nearly right. I can't promise you my salvation Or anymore arresting, decreasing faith, Then if all the stars fell from the sky, Just to draw closer to you Because I promised you, you would still be mine. And, one day I would be saved. Oh, my old-duplicitous enemy, friend, and lover. I can't promise you my soul will see the light I can't promise you, I won't drown. I can't promise you the stars As they already yours Oh, I've been consumed by too much my lover I can't absorb anymore… Not while my heart is black as night I can't promise you my salvation I can't promise you my soul will ever see the light I can't promise you, I won't drown. I can't promise you my salvation Or anymore arresting, decreasing faith Then if all the stars fell from the sky, Just to draw closer to you. Because I promised you, you would still be mine. Hand on my heart, I'm yours but how it grows dark Hand on heart, I'm yours but how it grows dark Oh, I've been consumed by too much evil my lover Oh, I can't consume anymore my lover I can't absorb any more salvation, my redeemer, my lover.
