Words of Life

Drowning in the pool of anguish…oh…oh… I’m venturing into the forest…and I want to hear the words seep out Release these aching sorrows…I worry my soul’s drying out… like a drought… Drain out the fluids from my heart It’s gouging me…bruising me to the core… **chorus** Embrace the light…embrace the midnight sky… You fall in my arms – you die so warm Shed me more sun to lift up my spirits From the…underground…and release me – I’m breathless I’m drowning in doubt…ooh… oh… Remember me…I’m falling…into my swirling fate…hanging on the roots Strangling my heart…distorting in my veins… I’m bleeding so softly – cut out the wood… Splintering me…I’m shattering… and I’m falling in the abyss Bring me more radiance from my candle light Warp me up in bliss…don’t let the midnight sky…don’t take away my delight From the…ocean…and save me—save me…oh… oh… I’m failing *chorus* I’m drowning in regret…ooh..oh… Hit the bull’s eye in my heart…embrace the light And don’t leave me hanging in the abyss…hand me a kite! Save me before I fall apart…shut out the night And don’t let the dusk escape us… I must confess… I must confess… I hate to see you abandon the light… But I’m not the one to save you from the night Ooh…ohh… *Chorus* Splintering lies fill your heart I want to kiss it goodbye… But you’ve mastered it like a piece of art I want to kiss the abyss and die… Dry… I wanna touch the sky with my whole soul But I’m failing and the end of time has taken its toll Tainted sorrow…swims around me…I dwell where the waters depart But the anguish still swarms in my heart… I’m failing…my heart stops beating And my desires are fleeting From my grasp And the monsters laugh at me…as I fall… *chorus* Embrace the midnight sky…catch me…catch me… As I fall in death’s arms…I die so cold And your heart is made of gold Untangle the darkness & take away the nightmares Answer our prayers & block out the night Erase the heartaches & wipe away our tears Unravel Your words of life & delight
