Restoring Sanity

I’m willing to care for myself and believe in a higher power, which is God of course I must admit!
An inner peace that shares with me unconditional love - my broken-hearted spirit adores it
Restoring sanity in my life of strife and sin
Where do I begin from deep down within?

Well, I can’t really control it —
The feelings I get from being addicted to your touch once more
I can’t fool you as I see fit —
The dealings of the present and doings of my past for sure!

Troublesome actions,
Cumbersome interactions
I’ve done it all, not so proud of it though
I made a fall - not saying it aloud a while ago

Rationalizing my behavior
Doesn’t do me good, but makes me live life without error
Shortcoming disaster..
Due to giving in to the deceiver...takes one to know one I’m sure

Experiencing a lot of strength and hope
So, I can cope without feelings to mope
It leads me to fall into a deeper hole...like a midnight troll under the bridge 
Whenever I fail to see the light as a whole...I am as cold as a fridge

I believe I’m stronger than strong could ever be
I relieve the pain in the aching scars of my inner being...seeking strength in my own weaknesses
I grieve for the mere sake of your lack of sanity
I breathe in and out in sadness and shame, looking at life, hoping to be happy nevertheless

Hopelessness makes me sleep in too long
Depression breaks my heart...it untunes my song...
That is in my meandering mind of bittersweet reverie
How long will it take for you to set me free from my misery?

From what we experience makes us who we truly are frankly
From what we do in this life affects many others tremendously
From the time we were first born, we weren’t born addicts of avarice affliction
It’s about time that what was torn must be untorn - forlorn not, for sorrow is fiction

Restoring sanity in my life of strife and sin
Where do I begin from deep down within?
I’m willing to flare my flames of flamboyant faithfulness your way
That way, you can be free from fearfulness that leads you astray

Restoring sanity
It means gaining humility, gaining a perspective of prosperity and gaining a mindset of positivity in motion
Restoring sanity 
It means reaching out to others when we are struggling in reality...it means to remain sane in the moment of rather terrible chaos and commotion 

Character defects create catastrophe in my pissed-off frame of mind
Shortcomings come and go and attack me at every angle, you see?
Then it leaves me left for dead in the lonesome streets of left-behind
It triggers me to go insane and I need and want to restore sanity...

It’s just a temporary trial that is so uncanny
I am just trying to cooperate and restore sanity
It’s not about the destination or our courage to change direction
It’s about the experience - we are built to be as strong as a nation...we just need affection to wear off the tension
To restore sanity, to restore sanity and eliminate vanity from our souls to the max
To strum the drum of my heart beat beating - a titanium that is willing to relax
