The Current

Here again and flooding the skies My dreams are numb as days become night My lies delude and strangle my mind The hands of faith will hide from my sight The signs are clear My time so near But I jump and fall to know that I’m here I fall away The life within will hold onto me My eyes burn as I believe But I smile and start to see My hate fades and I’m so free I’ve woken I’m life again You’re broken So I’ll pretend For all the things that have taken me down With all the life that seemingly drowns I take your eyes and try to replay I see your lies and what you’ve repaid It’s clear With time so near I’ll jump and die to know that I’m here I fall away The life within will hold onto me My eyes burn as I believe But I smile and start to see My hate fades and I’m so free You’ve woken I hold you close We’ve spoken Remember us There is hate surrounding all of our lives There is death distorting all of our sighs With fear and plague just mocking our cries Please remember why we survive It’s clear My cries are fear I leave you now to know why I’m here I fall away The life within will hold onto me My eyes burn as I believe But I smile and start to see My hate fades and I’m so free I’m trying to stay But I can’t hold on My last day Soon I’ll be gone We’ve spoken I held you close You’ve woken Just live and love
