Lyrics
Scenes of you come rushing through
Recollections of you rush into my thoughts
You are breaking me down
You are causing emotional distress
So break me into pieces
Break me into pieces
That will grow in the ground
These pieces will grow and transform positively
I know that I deserve to die
Feeling unworthy and acknowledging wrongdoing
For the murder in my heart
Recognizing a metaphorical "murder" or harm in the heart
So be gentle with me Jesus
Seeking gentleness and guidance from Jesus
As you tear me apart
Accepting the transformative process, even if painful
Please kill the liar
Request to eliminate falsehood within
Kill the thief in me
Request to eliminate the tendency towards theft
You know that I am tired of their cruelty
Expressing weariness of cruelty from others
Breathe into my spirit
Inviting a divine presence into the inner being
Breathe into my veins
Invoking a spiritual and life-giving essence
Until only love remains
Desiring that only love endures and prevails
You burn away the ropes that bind
Symbolic burning of ties that restrict and anchor
And hold me to the earth
Leaving behind only what holds inherent value
The fire only leaves behind whatever is of worth
Fire as a metaphor for purification and clarity
I begin to see reality
Perceiving reality with newfound clarity
For the first time in my life
Experiencing self-awareness for the first time
I know that I’m a shadow
Acknowledging one's transient and insignificant nature
But I’m dancing in your light
Finding joy and purpose in divine illumination
Teach me to be humble
Request for guidance in cultivating humility
Call me from the grave
Invoking a spiritual awakening and renewal
Show me how to walk with you upon the waves
Seeking guidance to navigate challenges with faith
Breathe into my spirit
Inviting a divine presence into the inner being (repeated)
Breathe into my veins
Invoking a spiritual and life-giving essence (repeated)
Until only love remains
Desiring that only love endures and prevails (repeated)
