Meet Me In the Silence
Meet Me in the Silence
Bleeding call
All my worlds fall
Too much suffering
Painful non-attending
I’m a mess
I’ve failed every test
I couldn’t possibly please you
There is nothing left to hold on to
Amazing grace
Retie every cut shoelace
I keep tripping on myself
I love too much the empty desired wealth
God please save me
Darkness is not the key
Myself I hate
I’m a messy love and you’re my mate
Capture me
Do it slowly
Grasp every wound
Don’t misunderstand me; my fate is not doomed
Feel my infiltrated beating heart
I’m in your arms don’t part
Blow through the weak defending desires
What I believe is true needs to be rewired
From what I think I love but don’t love I need saving
On top of me reality and imagination is caving
God send it all away
With you my heart wants to stay
Meet me in the silence
Let it be tense
Stare into my eyes
Shout the lyrics of my cries
Let me fall onto you
Let these tears be new
May they not be sad
This ongoing painful ride was the last one I had
