Take This Away
Why do I keep trying to exist
Why does this pain persist
I can't seem to get a grip
I wish from me my life would be stripped
To have eternal peace seems like a heavenly notion
A void just blackness no light no emotion
The way it seems to continuously draw me in
Yet stripping it myself is a sin
I can't do it I can't let go
I must keep going in a world full of pain this I know
Tell me how to swallow pain when pain consumes me
Tell me how to take a breath when it's so hard to breathe
When it's too hard to stand I'm suppose to kneel
Do you know how I feel
Can u hear my cries
Can u see these tears in my eyes
Make the hurt stop make it go I plead
For you I llive for you I breathe please peace is what I need
Not the kind that stops fights and crime
I need the kind that heals in time
I'm broken inside and out
Can't figure out what my life is suppose to be about
I need you more and more every day
Please consume me this I pray
With your loving hands take this pain away
