Identity Crisis - Thrice

Image marred by self-infliction

Private wars on my soul waged

Heart is scarred by dual volitions

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, hear my cry, I beg, I plead, I pray

I’ll walk into the flame, a calculated risk to further bless your name

So strike me deep and true, and in your strength I will live and die both unto

you
