Saving Grace - Temple Of The Snake

Slipped once again and I'm finding myself back inside this same old story
Fear coming over me, guilty as sin, succumbing, I'm losing myself
All the weight that I've carried these days is crushing me down and I fall
Can't escape this. How can I erase these thoughts? They're all haunted by you
You!

Back once again and I'm drowning myself embracing this flesh-bough freedom
It eats away at me and all the promises that I made, I can't keep
It's consuming me inside and out, I'm blistered, I'm rotting away
Can't escape this. How can I erase this? Over and over again

Still making the same mistakes
Still walking away from grace
I spend my days in the temple of the snake

"And though you pick me up and you wash me clean
I still turn and walk away
I bite the hand that freely feeds
I am the cause of all this pain"

Bind my hands
Bury me
Gouge my eyes out
Set me free
Bury me
