Leviticus 2

Hands stained red from the lamb I bring

A spotless life for the guilt I cling

Oil on the altar fire in the sky

Ashes rise but the sin won't lie

The priest chants low the blade runs clean

Smoke curls slow where the blood has been

A dove for my heart a ram for my pride

The law's heavy weight it won't let me slide

Grain in my hands the finest I've got

Poured out in measure not a single spot

Seven times the blood is thrown

Each day whispers I'm not alone

Cedar and hyssop the scent fills the air

A cleansing tide for the guilt we bear

The rules etched deep can't break the chain

Every step I take echoes with pain

Is it enough this endless cost

Every lamb every life I've lost

Bring the weight bring the fire

Burn the flesh lift it higher

What I love what I fear

Paid in blood year by year

Leviticus

Leviticus

In the mirror I see a stain it's deep it won't fade

Like graffiti on my soul it's the mess I made

Rules written in stone they cut like a blade

Am I clean am I pure or just a masquerade

I walk the line between dust and divine

Sacred in the morning filthy by design

Hands to the heavens but my feet in the grime

Tell me can a heart be washed in time

You touched what's dead you carry the weight

Like rust on your spirit it corrodes your fate

A shadow on your heart it's a heavy gate

But the key is written don't hesitate

Modern rituals we sanitize the skin

But what about the heart what's deep within

Scrolling through the noise lost in the din

What's unclean outside or where does it begin

The water runs but does it reach the core

I scrub and scrub but I'm still unsure

Clean or unclean where do I stand

Am I holy or just sinking in the sand

Rules for the body rules for the soul

Can I make it back can I be whole

Leviticus

Leviticus

I walk the line but my shadow’s long

My hands are clean but my heart feels wrong

In the desert of my mind I hear the call

A voice like thunder but I'm so small

The smoke rises a symbol in the sky

A lamb for the guilt I can't deny

I've been running from the weight of my own name

Seeking the fire to burn the shame

Scapegoat bound sent to the wild

Who carries the sin of a wayward child

They say the altar is where we're cleansed

But the scars on my soul refuse to mend

I've offered gold I've offered tears

Still I wrestle with my darkest fears

A priest's hand a crimson thread

A hope that lives while the goat is led

But my heart screams louder than the rite

Will the heavens answer me tonight

Day of ashes day of light

Tearing the veil between wrong and right

I'm on my knees let the truth ignite

Day of ashes make me white
