Tried to be a holy one
A candle diffusing your spark
When I couldn’t give enough
You threw me like chum to the sharks
How can I stand firm in faith
When I know you’ll never intervene?
Same old corruption reigns
And I have no strength to keep trying

Been sailing on sinking sand
Am I an abomination
For needing a helping hand,
Just a little medication?
I have every right to scream
When demons keep running the show
Escaping the hell you gave me
Sent me to a hell of my own

How can a ghost return to life?
Too cold and numb to feel the light
Is my sinking grave still in your sight?
From morning watch into the night,

I have cried out of the depths
You’ve swallowed up all hope of happiness
You say I’ll be reborn through these waters
This tomb admits no beauty to 
Rescue me
Isolated, devastated, 
Buried at sea
Can I rise again 
From the belly of the beast?

Been here for so long now
Will you ever show me a sign?
Is there a way out somehow,
Or have you just left me behind?
There’s no way to mend this heart
Can we go back to where it began?
From this cocoon restart 
All of life over again

How can a ghost return to life?
Too cold and numb to feel the light
Is my sinking grave still in your sight?
From morning watch into the night,

I have cried out of the depths
You’ve swallowed up all hope of happiness
You say I’ll be reborn through these waters
This tomb admits no beauty to 
Rescue me
Isolated, devastated, 
Inebriated, heart sedated
Decimated, soul deflated
Buried at sea
Can I rise again 
From the belly of the beast?
