This tabernacle of hatred I rise
With opportunities of worlds I've denied
Slaughter the oxen, but I offer 4 doves
The serpent of Eden charmed me in rivers of blood
I've cracked these walls, torn my royal banners
Starved my soul and mind and reject self-anger
But I built it with words of affirmation
Placed myself so far from you and your remaining consultation
Drowning now I can finally see
This river of hatred is destroying me
As my last tears ceases
Left alone to pick up the pieces
Yeah, left alone to pick up the pieces
I used to live my life at the satisfaction of another's appease
Forced
To sink inside myself
Never to show release
I am done being bent to your whim
From this day forth I choose to win
From this day forth I choose to win
Mending myself has been my greatest feat
Even if it means that no one wants me to be free
Drowning now I can finally see
This river of hatred is destroying me
As my last tears ceases
Left alone to pick up the pieces
My blurry eyes made me see more clear
The golden reprimanding has already drawn so near
Oh, so near
Feel my presence
I am here
