Lyrics

Severed
Psalm 109:1-4

Severing from false romances
Bleeding out the poison
So easily enraptured by the soul

Failing all my second chances
Putting down the Atlas
Underneath which every human falls

Sever all emotion
From the burning in the soul
Sever off the dead weight
Leave the scars a place to grow
Cauterize the wounded
Let the dead bury their own
Turn against the constructs
So the losses lead us home

Empty your mind of other voices
Silencing their violence and untruth
You were not made for cruel abuses
Preying on the innocence of youth

Sever all emotion
From the burning in the soul
Sever off the dead weight
Leave the scars a place to grow
Cauterize the wounded
Let the dead bury their own
Turn against the constructs
So the losses lead us home

Be not silent O God
God of my praise
Wicked and lying mouths
Are opened against me
Speaking against me with lying tongues
Circling me with words of hate
Attacking me without cause
In return
In return for my love
I receive
Accusation
But I turn myself to prayer
Amen
