Apart.

I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow, it all adds up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride I flew too high
And like Icarus, I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
To give and die

To turn away and not become

Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves

More deeply than the oceans

More abundant than the tears

Of a world embracing every heartache

Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow

*To love you* Take my world apart *To need you*I am on my knees

*To love you* Take my world apart *To need you* Broken, on my knees

All said and done, I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe in the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me
For all I am, for all you are
For what I need and what I believe, are worlds apart

*and I pray*

I look beyond the empty cross ,forgetting what my life has cost

And wipe away the crimson stains and dull the nails that still remain

More and more I need You now I owe You more each passing hour

Battles between grace and pride I gave up not so long ago

So steal my heart and take the pain

And wash the feet and cleanse my pride

Take the selfish, take the weak

And all the things I cannot hide

Take the beauty, take my tears

My sin-soaked heart, make it Yours

Take my world all apart

Take it now, take it now

And serve the ones that I despise

Speak the words I can't deny

Watch the world I used to love

Fall to dust and thrown away

take my world apart I pray, I pray, I pray

Take my world apart
