I Was The Sword

The first morning
The first time
You realize
You've laid it to rest yourself

That God died in you
And I couldn't save you
Even then
Lord come into my life

These scars that never heal
And the clarity
That allows you to feel

Like the dead
Enveloped
Like the dead
I wanted to change

As if being
Discarded were that easy
And the nights ended up being that empty

It's so much more free
You were led by no one here
This place is warm
And the change is definite

And I've been stripped down
Time and time again
And left for the gray, and the cold

Your voice changes pitch
And blurs
Like a storm carries a ship
You couldn't save me
Even then
And I should have known that
