Minds Breath

The days I lost were spent and worthless For years I tried to feel my purpose Not what they say, not what I’m told Not what I see, my fear grows To know I’m here, to know what comes To feel my fear as anger drums It took me down The dreams I kept were used and endless I threw away and felt so careless Not worth my time, not worth my life Not in my mind, it leaves my sight So tired of loss, so tired of hate But with this time there grew my fate It took me in The light becomes my eyes The clearing shows me why Alone I see the sky I walk away from lies Today I see my purpose A day of vain is worthless A mind of hate is careless The moment we die can’t hurt us The lies we hate, the hate builds fear This test in faith, the goal is clear The day we’re free, the day we die The seconds we breathe can leave our eyes In fear we seek, in lies we hide My heart is burnt but I now fly The more I sigh, the more I smile The more I cry there’s less denial So fear it not and let it go Retrieve some light and feel it grow Today I feel, today I see The end will come, by then I’m free It tests me now I’m lost somehow
