Something New

I was alone and confused with thoughts I hoped were forgotten But this pain is thicker than blood, my heart grew sour and rotten From a life that was a once inside, but how it poured from my veins And through my eyes her tears fall into the puddles of rain From this face that I hide all the voices inside They have crawled from the darkness and back into my light And I hear them all echoing over and over again But Im ok, im ok this is all in my head When I tried to talk about her I could find nothing to say And so I pushed it all down and painted a smile on my face But thats when my lonliness became depression from all the hurt and suppression As my anger became aggression from all the hate and resentment So I prayed to my God But in His hands will I fall Its this line I will draw Through this life I wont crawl Where I've been crawling in circles now for days I dont want to lie in the dirt and just fade away So many choices in life, but which will I choose I just want to find my comfort in something new .... And on the dirt my flesh died From the dust I will rise ..... (He never promised it wouldnt rain. He only promised to give comfort in the rain)
