"God Takes Away Everything" lyrics

"God Takes Away Everything"

After all that I've given away
I'm still making the same mistakes
Hold me close, leap in the dark
We may never know who we are (Who we are)

Spare me tragedy, endless torment
Grant me amnesty, to know forgiveness

Take a look at me now
I am nothing but a heartless overgrowth
Of all of my failure, all of my sin
Who am I to postpone the end?

Take a breath and pray for me
Blood in my ears
The sound of you speaking my name in the fire
What will become of all that I've done, nothing

After all that I've given away
I'm still making the same mistakes
Hold me close, leap in the dark
We may never know who we are

Face the facts
We fell into a cycle
Of bargaining our worth

You always spit in my face
Every time I see the pattern in your gaze
All of your missteps, all of your lies
Who are you to keep me alive?

Give me all the blame, set a price to pay
Tell me that the past is not an endless pit of shame
I was called to fear a God that's coming near and we're all gonna rot

After all that I've given away
I'm still making the same mistakes
Hold me close, leap in the dark
We may never know who we are
Is there anything left here to save?
Can you tell the truth right to my face?
Losing hope, missing the spark
We will always wear each other's scars

Face the facts
We fell into a cycle
Of bargaining our worth
Nowhere left
To replicate disciples
Or vanish from the Earth

One day you'll see
God takes away fucking everything
My lust, my greed
God takes away everything, takes away everything
