Worlds Apart

Description

This is dark in color, but not in theme. This is a tribute to one of the most touching songs I've ever heard, and one that's even more amazing in concert. The following text is the original is not written by me, so don't make that mistake. :D It's a song, by Jars of Clay.

And thank you to AntiBrush [link] for the brushes, which are named 2thirty1 AM.



I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high
And like Icarus, I colide
With a world I tried so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
To give and die
To turn away and not become
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
More deeply than the oceans
More abundant than the tears
Of a world embracing every heartache
Can I be the one to sacrifice
Or grip the spear
And watch the blood and water flow
(To love you)
Take my world apart
(To need you)
I am on my knees
(To love you)
Take my world apart
(To need you)
Broken on my knees
All said and done, I stand alone
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
It takes all I am to believe
In the mercy that covers me
Did you really have to die for me?
All I am for all you are, 'cause
What I need and what I believe are worlds apart
And I pray
(To love you)
Take my world apart
(To need you)
I am on my knees
(To love you)
Take my world apart
(To need you)
Broken on my knees
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
I wipe away the crimson stains
And dull nails that still remain
More and more I need you now
I owe you more each passing hour
The battle between grace and pride
I gave up not so long ago
So steal my heart and take the pain
Wash my feet and cleanse my pride
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
This sin-soaked heart and make it yours
Take my world all apart
Take it now, take it now
Serve the ones that I despise
Speak the words I can't deny
Watch the world I used to love
Fall to dust and blow away
I look beyond the empty cross
Forgetting what my life has cost
Wipe away the crimson stains
Dull the nails that still remain
Steal my heart and take the pain
Take the selfish, take the weak
And all the things I cannot hide
Take the beauty, take my tears
Take my world apart
Take my world apart
And I pray, I pray
Take my world apart
We're worlds apart.
