Delirium

Chained to this fear inside 
Feeling like I have truly died
Crying, lying next to your stone
Sighing, trying to let go all alone

This chamber of loneliness inside me
Is making me feel so lonely and anxious
This chamber of loneliness inside me
Is forsaking my lonely soul and I’m delirious
This chamber of loneliness inside me
Won’t let me be free from captivity 
This chamber of loneliness inside me
Won’t let me be free from calamity
From this disconsolate liberty…

When will I be free from fear?
When will I no longer shed this tear?
Letting go I know, allowing guiltless glory to set me free
Getting rid of sorrow, grieving no more thankfully
