Here in the Throat

I need him

To wash me
of my sin

To take me
from this place

To heal me
of my wounds

I need him

To clean your
mark off me

To wipe you
from my eyes

To strike you
from my heart

I need him

I know

Not what

I do

Or say

But I

Do what

I say
And believe

You need him

To take you
from this place

To heal you
off your wounds

You need him

To clean my
mark off you

To wipe me
from your eyes

To strike me
from your heart

You need him

You need him

You are

Nothing

To me

Anymore

I hope

I mean

Nothing

To you

I want a place to hide
Somewhere far from your side

There is no stopping you
There's nothing you won't do

You're killing for your God
The stench that you have trod
The world is black to you

Until you slay me too

I'm wasted under you

I mean nothing at all

Thank God I wasted you

No longer will I fall

I will live again

Your grasp on me
has gone

Your downfall
and your end

At last my peace
has come

Before

I end

Let me

Tell you

Never

Lay down

For anyone

At all.
