I'm a slave to the forces that move me
they have dragged my soul through the sun
my resistance is thin as paper
you light a match and I'll burn
I fly to the fire like an arrow to a heart
I burn so fast you don't even see a spark
I'm gonna carry this weight for eternity
I'm gonna carry it like Jesus
as you fashion your crown of thorns for me
I'm waiting to wear it expectantly
I come when you call, like an arrow to a heart
I barely even feel your penetrating dart

I'm cooking the works of my own tragedy
I'm working at making it complete
destiny calls and I answer in greed
destiny calls and I'm ready
I come when it calls like an arrow to a heart
I burn so fast you don't even feel a spark
I have so much but all I do is want
I'm a slave to the forces moving me
