Can You Hear Me
My howl searches the moon
Yet the essence of it forbids me
Am I alone? Deserted on earth?
Has the gravel consumed me?
I'm craving the stench of true night
How much further can i go?
I'm gripped tight five tons deep
There is nowhere lower i know
I'm falling to the core
Clenching onto untold death
The cold fortells a fear
For i no longer keep my breath
I'm reaching from within
Can you hear me?
Dear Lord, restore my life
I need you to be near me
So lost, so alone,
So deserted, but don't forget me
My throat dry from crying
and i know that you can't hear me!
I've replenished what i had
and cried myself to sleep
I forget how life remembers
Having only my soul to keep
My Jesus, Saviour, let me rest
As my face changes to a shade of blue
I've accepted fate, my voice is silent
To unexist is a greater deal to do.
