Bite the Bullet -Edited Version-

I dreamt of embracing the abyss
Wake me up to an open door
Illuminate me with positivity
I slept in grief for so long for doing wrong
Exterminate my negativity
Make me feel whole once more
Lead me to your eternal bliss
Seeking deliverance of wanting to belong

Time is ticking like a bomb, so untamed,
About to blow up into smoke and flame
The moment you called my name,
I wasn't going to end up the same…
Not any longer your definition of sane..
I have a young heart and a wise brain...

Bite the bullet (ooh ohh ohh ohh yeah)
Bite the bullet...see right through it...
See right through my pain
And I'm still waiting for His healing rain
Bite the bullet (ooh ohh ohh ohh yeah)
Bite the bullet...see right through it…
See right through my pain
And I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting…
I'm still waiting for His rain
(To shower upon me relief…)
(ooh x7)

Don't drown in stress and misery…
Reach and hold on to the rope of hope
With a firm grip of rough reality…
I hope there is a way for you to cope
With the pain you go through on a daily basis
With the rain that douses you with midnight kisses
Are you willing to accept my helping hand?
Allow me to escort you to the Promise Land

Time is ticking like a bomb, so untamed,
About to blow up into smoke and flame
The moment you called my name,
I wasn't going to end up the same...
You can call me insane, call me insane...
But I'm being me; I'm not one to blame…

Bite the bullet (ooh ohh ohh ohh yeah)
Bite the bullet...see right through it...
See right through my pain
And I'm still waiting for His healing rain
Bite the bullet (ooh ohh ohh ohh yeah)
Bite the bullet...see right through it…
See right through my pain
And I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting…
I'm still waiting for His rain
(To shower upon me relief…)
(ooh x7)

Time is ringing like a church bell in the dead of night…
It's your time to say goodbye and explore the light…
And catch gratifying hope that continuously blurs
Before it slips away into the ever-raging waters
Reveal the heavens and hells
Of your pretty mind's eyes
Conceal the sheer farewells...
Blow away the woeful lies
And catch the flying bullet that continuously blurs
Before it slips away into the ever-raging waters

Time is ticking like a bomb, so untamed,
About to blow up into smoke and flame
The moment you called my name,
I wasn't going to end up the same…
Pain drips down like rain…
All anxiety's down the drain…

Bite the bullet (ooh ohh ohh ohh yeah)
Bite the bullet...see right through it...
See right through my pain
And I'm still waiting for His healing rain
Bite the bullet (ooh ohh ohh ohh yeah)
Bite the bullet...see right through it…
See right through my pain
And I'm still waiting...I'm still waiting…
I'm still waiting for His rain
(To shower upon me relief…)
(ooh x7)

You and I will watch the sunset and the gorgeous waterfalls
Leave me a message on my phone if I'm not here
Remember that God always answers His never-ending calls
My darling, bite the bullet and please have no fear
