Light This City - Letter to My Abuser lyrics

To my nemesis My confidant Do not expect me to make more requests I have done penance for my sins You're in debt to me one thousand promises Just yesterday I went again to collect what I'm owed I found my dreams showered upon undeserving wretches Like bones dripping blood thrown to mangy strays And my secrets were being vomited From the mouths of glistening gluttons while I stood empty-handed While I stood empty-handed and exposed You've abused your power Angel You have fallen once more from my good graces I'm sick I've prayed I've seen healthy men healed by your touch When I'm the one who needs your love It's a hypocrite's faith A hypocrite's world I am not awed by your presents If they only suit the ones already blessed Your son lies raped in the dirt that you've made Are you willing to sacrifice another child Bloodthirsty liar How am I supposed to trust you When the knife is in your hand And the gash that I own whispers to an enemy Thoughts I had buried Creator You're my destructor. Am I not your daughter My insides displayed to the world Are you not my father My insides displayed to the world Bloodthirsty liar How am I supposed to trust you When the knife is in your hand And the gash that I own whispers to an enemy Thoughts I had buried To my nemesis My confidant Do not expect me to make more requests I have done penance for my sins You're in debt to me one thousand promises Just yesterday I went again to collect what I'm owed I found my dreams showered upon undeserving wretches Like bones dripping blood thrown to mangy strays
