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)
