I'M Falling

I’m falling 
And I’m calling
But it’s pulling me down
I’m trying 
As I’m crying
Out 
Without a sound
God 
I’m losing
My hearts bruising
I’m laying on the ground

Looking up
From this dump
With a heart that’s been tore
Hoping
As I’m groping 
Crawling on the floor

And I can’t
see the light 
through my tears
as I lay
in this bed
in the dark 
of the night

And I can’t
find my way 
through this maze
through this haze 
like I’m blind
through the days

Crying out 
looking up 
feeling weak
with my fears
all alone 
in this room
full of doubt 
drenched with tears

Darkness morning
Blood it’s pouring 
covering all of me
Life I’m gripping
Slowing slipping
Losing all I see
I’m Longing 
For belonging
I just want to be free
I’m Hating 
It’s grating
Wondering what I’ll be

Kneeling down 
call his name
trembling hand 
stretching up
hear my prayer
see my shame

Look past
all I’ve done 
look with love 
in my heart 
at my hopes
at my dreams
at my life 
from above

I’m spinning 
Cus I’m sinning
And I can’t seem to stop
I’m losing 
The life I’m choosing
I cant’ see the top
I’m regretting 
It’s betting
The choices I make
Is it ending 
Or mending
Or is it all just fake

And I cant, 
see the light 
through my tears 
as I lay in this bed 
in the dark 
of the night

And I can’t
find my way 
through this maze
through this haze 
like I’m blind
through the days
