David William Breidenthal Poet Lyric

Baby, Illuminate Me

Have mercy on my breaking, aching heart of impure lamentation
Consumed in iniquity and now, I’m in shards of devastation
Baby, illuminate me by my side and yesterday, you were around
Happiness as of late decides to give me dismay…I’m gravity-bound

I haven’t died trying to receive
Your illumination and I will believe

Held captive in the captivity of my heart
The shadows consume me from the start
Rolling in death’s cart, wondering if you’ll ever set me free from despondency 
Falling away and shattering apart, meandering through the forests of misery

Held captive,
But I’ll live…
What’s left to give
If my heart can’t take anymore of this life?
I am tired of living life, worthless and full of strife…
That delivers us from a fate of fearlessness — it cuts like a knife
Falling away into the deep end, all alone
Baby, illuminate me all the more please
Spiraling anguish mends me on my own
And turns into gladness and joy at ease
Held captive,
But I’ll live…
What’s left to give
If my heart can’t take anymore of this life?
I am tired of living life, worthless and full of strife…
Still wondering if I’m suitable enough for a winsom wife — I ponder in distress

I’m swimming in the seas of woefulness and hanging on  a single thread
Swinging on a string like a puppet in a puppet show with or without dread
Baby, illuminate me by my side for a better tomorrow and stay with me
Sadness will disappear in no time as long as sorrow will leave us delightfully

I haven’t died trying to receive
Your illumination and I will believe

Held captive in the captivity of my heart
The shadows consume me from the start
Rolling in death’s cart, wondering if you’ll ever set me free from despondency 
Falling away and shattering apart, meandering through the forests of misery

Held captive,
But I’ll live…
What’s left to give
If my heart can’t take anymore of this life?
I am tired of living life, worthless and full of strife…
That delivers us from a fate of fearlessness — it cuts like a knife
Falling away into the deep end, all alone
Baby, illuminate me all the more please
Spiraling anguish mends me on my own
And turns into gladness and joy at ease
Held captive,
But I’ll live…
What’s left to give
If my heart can’t take anymore of this life?
I am tired of living life, worthless and full of strife…
Still wondering if I’m suitable enough for a winsom wife — I ponder in distress

Safe inside my mind
I know you left me behind 
If you can be so kind,
Make me less blind
Illuminate me, baby
Baby, illuminate me
Illuminate me, baby
Baby, illuminate me
Safe inside my mind
I don’t mind,
Letting time unwind
Make me less blind
Illuminate me, baby
Baby, I can’t live free
Without you, I worry
We won’t be illuminated by tranquility

I haven’t died trying to receive
Your illumination and I will believe

Held captive,
But I’ll live…
What’s left to give
If my heart isn’t illuminated by you?
Set me free from catastrophe
But, I’ll live life abundantly
I will thrive all my life to be happy,
Giving you cheerfulness without a fear too
