Up Above the Numbness

Numb the pain, throbbing inside me My faith has crumbled into crumbs of deception Numb the pain, coursing through my veins You're keeping me sane and I'd like to thank you for that In the desert of desolation, I feel this all-to-familiar frustration... I yearn for something more You're the one that I adore You deserted me long ago The wind moves to and fro I'm getting weary I'm getting teary Trying to purge sin out of my life It's easier said than done I'm still missing California's sun To obliterate and burn away the strife Your radiant shine Makes me wish you were mine Please don't leave me and let me go tonight Shine a light my direction with undying might Despite your flaws, Your beauty shows You're my beautiful dove Up above the world of hatred Even though the crow caws, Your dove-like features glow I'm thinking of your love Up above my despicable dread Despite your decisions, I'm going to love you still You're my pretty lullaby Up above the Earth of cursed confusion Even though I have unaccomplished missions, You're my thousand thrills I'm bedshaped in your goodbye Up above my vision of derision My imagination is going haywire, Burning with utmost desire Churning with passionate fire And sheer ire that will never tire In my elegant, eloquent empire Seek the truth, you little liar You're the one that I admire You lift my high spirits higher and higher Singing joyously in a brilliant choir
