Restoring Sanity

I’m willing to care for myself and believe in a higher power, which is God of course I must admit! An inner peace that shares with me unconditional love - my broken-hearted spirit adores it Restoring sanity in my life of strife and sin Where do I begin from deep down within? Well, I can’t really control it — The feelings I get from being addicted to your touch once more I can’t fool you as I see fit — The dealings of the present and doings of my past for sure! Troublesome actions, Cumbersome interactions I’ve done it all, not so proud of it though I made a fall - not saying it aloud a while ago Rationalizing my behavior Doesn’t do me good, but makes me live life without error Shortcoming disaster.. Due to giving in to the deceiver...takes one to know one I’m sure Experiencing a lot of strength and hope So, I can cope without feelings to mope It leads me to fall into a deeper hole...like a midnight troll under the bridge Whenever I fail to see the light as a whole...I am as cold as a fridge I believe I’m stronger than strong could ever be I relieve the pain in the aching scars of my inner being...seeking strength in my own weaknesses I grieve for the mere sake of your lack of sanity I breathe in and out in sadness and shame, looking at life, hoping to be happy nevertheless Hopelessness makes me sleep in too long Depression breaks my heart...it untunes my song... That is in my meandering mind of bittersweet reverie How long will it take for you to set me free from my misery? From what we experience makes us who we truly are frankly From what we do in this life affects many others tremendously From the time we were first born, we weren’t born addicts of avarice affliction It’s about time that what was torn must be untorn - forlorn not, for sorrow is fiction Restoring sanity in my life of strife and sin Where do I begin from deep down within? I’m willing to flare my flames of flamboyant faithfulness your way That way, you can be free from fearfulness that leads you astray Restoring sanity It means gaining humility, gaining a perspective of prosperity and gaining a mindset of positivity in motion Restoring sanity It means reaching out to others when we are struggling in reality...it means to remain sane in the moment of rather terrible chaos and commotion Character defects create catastrophe in my pissed-off frame of mind Shortcomings come and go and attack me at every angle, you see? Then it leaves me left for dead in the lonesome streets of left-behind It triggers me to go insane and I need and want to restore sanity... It’s just a temporary trial that is so uncanny I am just trying to cooperate and restore sanity It’s not about the destination or our courage to change direction It’s about the experience - we are built to be as strong as a nation...we just need affection to wear off the tension To restore sanity, to restore sanity and eliminate vanity from our souls to the max To strum the drum of my heart beat beating - a titanium that is willing to relax
