Thrice - Identity Crisis

"Identity Crisis"
Album: Identity Crisis (2001)

Image marred by self infliction,
Private wars on my soul waged
Heart is scarred be dual volition,
Juxtaposed and both engaged
Kindle flame, a test of faith,
Pray help me see it through
I put all my trust in you

Refine hate and love
Fall afresh on me
End this crisis of identity

Draw this Darkness out like poison
Stab, retrieve, again decline
Help me drive the dagger deeper,
Trace with me explicit line
Take this blade, a test of faith,
and strike me deep and true

I put all my trust in you

Refine hate and love
Fall afresh on me
End this crisis of identity

This is my voice,
All shadows stayed,
This is my heart,
Upon the altar laid
Please take all else away
In my pride, I beg, I plead, I pray

I walk into the flame
A calculated risk to
further bless your name,
And in your strength
I will live and die both unto you.
