3. “Silver Halls”

how could anybody love

what i’ve become in this machine?

i find all the ends

to justify the means

decayed from inside though i covered

all the flaws that could be seen

but light fell on my silver halls

treasures stored burned through the walls

my daunted soul had settled for less

sightless as all hopelessness

my heart sounds depravity’s long cry

purging mistakes that could be found

i gave in with all i had

smiling the whole way down

the core has long been kept inside

only perpetual grace can save me now

but light fell on my silver halls

treasures stored burned through the walls

my daunted soul had settled for less

sightless as all hopelessness

oh, i sought more

oh, got it in less

oh, these silver halls,

oh, silver halls are a mess

i was feeling so lost

i was feeling so sad

i was betrayed by desire

i thought it would take me higher

than i’ve ever been before
