Prisoner of your tears,
I lay drowning in your arms.
Completely surrendered to your burning touch.
I have sinned against you.
Oh, forgive me for my sins
and all of you i have desecrated.
Utterly, I become what I hate.

Prisoner of your misty eyes,
I await the fatal sentencing
that will for all time stain my countenance
and mar my soul.
Lay me on your alter and purify
all that I've done,
as I could never justify it on my own.

Prisoner to your muffled cries,
I fall upon my knees at the foot of your bed,
where I punish myself
just listening to you.
All that exists is you
in this whirlwind of madness
that I myself have contrived.

Prisoner of your tears,
I am tormented by all I have become,
crucified by what you say I am.
Become my savior, become my Christ,
I know nothing else. I know nothing else,
but the errosion of my soul.
