From Dust To Ashes: Singe Out the Shame

Singe out the shame...the shame... Stop blaming me for your mind game Tame these flames...right now... Somehow, I will be taking a bow He, the Lord, is a mountain above His spirit shimmers and soars like a dove Merciful and mindful is He with abound love What was I thinking of? What was I thinking of? Tell me, love... What was my daydreaming mind been? Have I once again did a bad, bad thing? Once again? I see you standing there - Your shadows and reflections Look so bear...it's not fair... Receiving lots of rejections... I whisper in the atmosphere below I pray in solitude's hold though Overcome the hardship and the pain of rain aglow Let the wind blow and let the flowers of plenty grow The rocks and cliffs of many Makes me feel like I am satisfied, you see? Do you see the sea in my eyes? Do you see the truth beneath the lies? The sun is but a shadow, hidden and alone Forbidden and forlorn...simply on my own The moon is but a reflection, slightly shone The clouds of dreariness is but a lone bone Boredom of hot and bothered everything... Makes me feel like no one understands me I know, deep down, God's Kingdom is nothing Compared to what this world can show frankly I won't frown anymore I will be stronger at the core I'll wear a brave face Embrace God's race of grace Left without a trace, But I'm moving on at my own pace My bottle is half full What about you, beautiful? From dust to ashes, I collect my gashes The scars of the past vanish No more anguish...that's my only wish I'll stitch away my shyness I'm making epic progress I am who I am and I, alone, won't be enslaved in regret I am His lamb, a well-built dam, all needs and wants met Humility and obedience are lifelong traits to achieve I bet Although I always find myself, diving deep in utter debt Burn away the snow of sheltering sorrow Gravity inclined in my heart of sunlit glow My darling angel... Does it ring a bell? I am alone in my cell and going pell-mell? Lost forever in this shell...I am like a hermit crab, cuddling with cleverness and feeling crazy and I'm getting steamy as hell Liberate me with your lamentable lies... Tell them to shut out our goodbyes These bittersweet, pitiful emotions - we meet again Singe out the shame and let the serene glow glimmer times ten Gladness and glory is what I need at this very moment Victory is mine and I know that I'm a genius in God's ten
