lyrics

I am too sore for silence.
a whirlwind of whispers.
Dreading the dreams that deem me empty.
Darkness breathes.
Incomprehensible the thought of standing.
Light to the eyes would blind.
A stone for the heart inside.
None can roll it from the cavern surrounding.
Only fools find themselves out to be ignorant.
Abounding in bliss for brokenness.

Some days I crawl.
Unnoticed and unobliged.
If He truly made these days, then what a game He plays?
Am I worth the dead end of a joke?
What humorous plague life must be.
Solitude and savage desires.
Seclusion and a torturous mind.
Sickness and suicidal tendencies.
Every walking corpse has graced me with lies.
and watered down truth drinks me into madness.

So why?
Age old and still ringing out.
A bellowing call to know the unknown.
Yet the thought is enough to hold me captive.
If only I could see what lies ahead of me.
You say it's faith, I say fraud.
Fighting to count this a loss.
Subconscious silhouettes dance upon the grave.
Whether mine or yours, the demons are the same.
The chill drops my stomach to the trenches.
A battle line with no defenses is my soul.
