Hi Raiynor, I think you mean "sin"...
Also, what do you mean by: "carve out"?

Well the word carving wich i think is the right one im after means, well..
Its like when you have a knife and you want to write your name into a piece of wood.
Then youre not writing you name in the wood youre carving your name into the wood.

Now the meaning of my line is more metaforical and its supposed to be deep and dark.
Dont know if that is gonna help you much but i want the feeling of the sentence to be more correct translated than the actual words.



Thank you for taking your time with this.

Actually, what you mean (I think) with that "carve out" is "pull away"

"I'm pulling my heart away from this place of sin"

Am I right?

Well in a way i guess you could say pull out but its in a more brutal way.

I can say instead of pulling and carving,

"I´m ripping my heart out from this place of sin"


Prefer out from instead of away from since its inside something and going out of it.

Thank you for discussing this so the feeling of the sentence becomes right.
