Drawn in by all your shining lies Where truth holds pure and trauma dies You called me free but clipped my wings Hallowed illusions circling Each solemn prayer, a pathogen Each blessing cursed — I let it in A holy fire from just a spark I learned to see in the dark No shadows at your throne No judgment on my bones If your light won't let me grow Let it glow — let it glow Burn me whole — if that’s what you call love Burn me whole — if that’s how you rise above If your fire never saved me Then scorch my skin Burn me whole I’m done listening Your shining light made me forget My soul reduced to silhouette Your water flowing through my veins I died. Still the same. A war you waged, and I fell in A light that burns what you call sin The holy truth you hide in scars But I see who you are These scars already shown These wounds are mine alone If pain is how I heal Make it real — make it real I am the fire you couldn’t contain Your light is dying as the moon wanes If raining ash is the only way I'd rather burn than stay and SUFFOCATE— Burn me whole — if you don't know how to love Burn me whole — if my heart's not good enough 'Cause your fire never saved me It just scorched my skin So burn me whole I’m done listening Burn me whole — and show me what I'm made of Burn me whole — let ashes fill the sky above 'Cause your fire never saved me It just scorched my skin So burn me whole I’m done listening
