The Creationist

I made you in my image, as you made me into yours;
The tragedy of living is when love becomes a war;
I armed my mind with philosophy and locked my heart in chains;
You made yourself a maker, and turned into its slave;

Dancing with the mistress, you bartered for and sold;
This portrait of obsession will live forevermore;
You cannot kill your motives;
They’re living on their own;
Haunting you, and the victims, who followed you below;

Watching from my window, at a world I wished to burn;
Cleanse me of this madness, I should not be alone;
One more chance to breathe, my god, I cannot stop the man;
Who stole my heart and burned, my house built on the sand;

The whipping post and the crucified are shadows of the grave;
Crawling from the world below, and carrying the weight;
Fade into the darkness t' hide from what I'd done;
The beast's alive, removed of me;
It cannot be undone;

Burn Me;
Burn Me;
You can’t save my soul -

You build yourself a wall;
While standing so tall, my son -
You’ll ruin them all;
Before the fall -

Duel with your creator;
You are not my savior;

Duel with your creator;
You are not my savior;
And heaven's just a war;
Between trust and your behavior;
How were we supposed t' know;
How tall that we could grow;

Our egos are a cross;
Crushed, over time;
Our soul forever lost;
Consumed by our own device;

I can't -
I can't turn back, now;
I won't
I won't come back down;
I don't;
I don't know how to;
I have;
Nothing without you;

Build yourself a name;
Watch them tear it to the ground;

Build yourself a name -
Watch them tear it to the ground;
You play yourself a game;
With all your friends around;

Our egos are a cross;
Crushed, over time;
Our soul forever lost;
Consumed by our own device
Consumed by our own device;
Consumed by our own device;
Rebuild me…

Crushed beneath the Earth, I’m dying;
Rise above the ash, I’m trying;
The final hour pulls me under;
Before I’m reborn, to lead and conquer;
Heaven knows we’re born down below;
We’ll crawl from hell, and would kill for the throne;
How many lives are lost in pursuit -
Of a purpose no one can fulfill;
Now I’ll sit here praying to you;
Now I’ll sit here waiting on truth;
Now I’ll sit here praying to you;
Now I’ll sit here waiting on you;
My God;
Dammit, where are you?
Dammit, where are you?
Dammit, where are you?
Gone.

I’ll try and stop this, it pulls me under;
I’ll try and stop this, it pulls down;
I’ll try and stop this, it pulls me under;
Dragging me below –
I will rise again, and carry you from hell;

Love is love reflecting;
We turned our back on home;
How can we learn to touch the ones –
We send out on their own?
God, why don't they seek me;
It's not I they shouldn't trust;
The curse in your creation is losing what you love;
Losing what you love;
Losing what you love;

Love;
Love;

You build yourself a wall;
While standing so tall, my son;
You’ll ruin them all;
Before the fall -

I can't -
I can't turn back, now;
I won't
I won't come back down;
I don't;
I don't know how to;
I have;
Nothing without you;

War torn, the battle;
Body verse the mind leaves the heart in shambles;
Gridlocked, I’m frozen;
Trippin’ the wire, cross the line and -
I’m broken;
Catch me, I’m falling;
One dream left, set the waves in motion;
Face what you’ve started;
You ruined it all, just to live in the moment;
My son –
My son –
Can you face what you have done?
Can you see what you’ve become?
Can you stare into the shattered sun?
Can you face me, my son?

Our egos are a cross;
Crushed, over time;
Our self forever lost;
Consumed by our own device;

Our egos are a cross;
Crushed, over time;
Our soul forever lost;
Consumed by our own device;
Consumed by our own device;
Consumed by our –
Consumed by our –
Device.
