I’m so angry inside 
Too angered to die 
Cos in the flash of an eye 
    Was gone my whole life

I gave my soul to a place 
And my heart to a fake  
But these things were meant to fade
I should never entrusted my heart to this charade
    Instead to Your Name 

I am a cropped image 
I am a cut clip 
I am a hushed tone 
Only a forgotten blip 
They don’t speak of me anymore 
Like the memory of a wicked whore 

All I did was give everything I have 
And tell the truth when no one else had

I want to scream out now 
To yell and fight 
My fists feel tight—or are they light? 
I want ‘o give in to my might 
You wolf, you liar, you thief 
What more am I but a forgotten fief?

Crop me out more 
Lie about my name 
Since the day I was born 
    I’ve only given everything 

And now I’m not even a memory 
    Because a memory would have the honor of being whispered 
Instead I’m the curse 
    That you wish was forgotten 

Into the trash heap with me 
Nowhere else, please
I wish others knew 
This is what happens when they’re through 

Oh, but Heaven knows my name 
My Lord has seen my tears 
God, avenge my soul 
Wipe away all my fears 

Hold me high and not let me die 
Hear me, please, and let me sleep 
I don’t want to give in
I don’t want to give up 
Help me be nothing
    more than your son 
And wherever iniquity lies within me
    Root me out and bleed me 

Hear me, Lord 
See me, Father 
Take my ashes 
    And make something beautiful 
Take my ashes 
    I don’t want them anymore
