Favorite Quote:
I am going to take this bucket of water and pour it on the flames of hell, and then I am going to use this torch to burn down the gates of paradise so that people will not love God for want of heaven or fear of hell, but because He is God. - J. G.

Disillusioned, can you save me?
This is nothing like intimacy
Breathless words from pale pink lips
Forever entwined at the hips

I am worthy, I am worthy
Please tell me, can you save me?
Fear lingers in me through those tearful nights
Like the last breath of the moon before daylight

Beautiful, but not by you
Will I ever be enough?
These tears weren’t formed new
This skin is only so tough

I am worthy, I am worthy
Please just tell me you can save me
Don’t let me linger on in this misery
Tell me love isn’t what I believe
