Genesis

Breathing an air permeated
Soaked in darkness
Emanating from within
Resonating like a scream no one can hearI wear this chaos well
Though none should save me
Desperation keeps me here
My need for innocence
The place where I beganThe abyss becomes me
I wear this chaos wellAre these not words of heresy
A venom on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified
In everything I choose to sayWith you I stand in hope
That God will save us from ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
Until another day is lostEven lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answerAnd did our laughter, did our tears
Have some purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain, in hope
That wisdom came from what we'd done?Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answerUndiscoveredAre these not words of heresy
A venom on my lips, a poison?
My spirit impurified
In everything I choose to sayIf I would shed my skin, the layers left
But not the lessons learned
Would not undo what I have done
Or grant forgiveness in some better daysWith you I stand in hope
That God will save us from ourselves
Every cry a wasted moment
Until another day is lostEven lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answerAnd did our laughter, did our tears
Have some purpose after all?
Did we toil in vain, in hope
That wisdom came from what we'd done?Even lands we once called home
Lie undiscovered and unknown
Only Heaven's silence for an answer
