Desire's Visage

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Opening a door long locked closed
A hallowed chamber for a guest
Untimely vacancy reposed
Creating holes throughout my chest

[Prechorus]
Hunger looking for an image
Settled on a welcome visage

[Chorus]
I built an altar out of light
And prayed to what I'd lost
She answered every lonely night
But never named the cost

[Verse 2]
A tower built from counting days
Stones stacked by conviction
Thorns pierce a hundred ways
Sleeping through benediction

[Prechorus]
Hunger looking for an image
Settled on a welcome visage

[Chorus]
I built an altar out of light
And prayed to what I'd lost
She answered every lonely night
But never named the cost

[Bridge]
You can't go back to where you were
Still something in you moves
You carry everything that hurt
With nothing left to prove

[Final Chorus]
I built an altar out of light
And watched it burn away
She answered every lonely night
But had nothing left to say
