This Hollowed Life

It's like your world is ending 
Everything comes crashing down
Can't catch your breathe
Down, down, down you drown

Waking in the morning
To another dreaded day
Going through the hustle
Just to keep the pain at bay

Escaping is what you want
Numbing you try to survive
Hating the world when you're sober
Hate yourself for getting high

Oh yeah-This hollowed life of lies

Going through the rituals
Crushing down your dreams
Drawing back within yourself
That icy devil makes you scream

The storm rages deep inside
Harboring all your guilt and shame
Fighting a losing battle 
You think it's too late to change

You hate the world when you're sober
Hate yourself for getting high
Numbing as a way of living
Living your hollowed life of lies

Then one day you see 
Someone who used to use
They were happy
No longer broken and confused

They tell you of a man
Who washed away their sins
They had found peace
Oh yeah- found peace within Him

You were tired of the hatred
You were tired of getting high
You were tired of living
Living your hollowed life of lies

You asked for forgiveness
You were hungry for more
You wanted what they had
They had opened the door

Now you're walking free
Free from the shame and guilt
With Jesus in your heart
You had been rebuilt

No more hating the world
No longer getting high
You laid your pain at His feet
You escaped that hollowed life of lies

Thank You For Loving Me

I was falling through darkness
I had lost - my way
From the things that were important 
I was very afraid

Traveling down a lonely path
Constantly looking in the past 
My Future was bleak
And I was going no where fast

Then I met you.
Drinking your drink 
As lonely as I was
And just as lost, I think.

I fell in love with you
That first night
I knew at that moment 
You were going to be my knight

You chased away my darkness
You showed me I could be loved
You gave me hope again
And I thank the Lord above

He answered my prayers.
He sent you to me.
For that I am grateful 
Seems we were meant to be

You are a wonderful man.
Taking on so much
For choosing a family
And not a bottle for lunch.

I know I drive you crazy
I know I'm insane.
I feel I am no good for you
But with me you still stay

You are my best friend 
You are my lover 
You are my shoulder to cry on 
I'm glad you're not my brother

Thank you for loving me. 
Thank you for all that you do
Thank for you being there 
Because I am nothing without you.

Washed Clean

Was swimming in suicide 
Lost inside my lies 
Holding back everything 
Not knowing why

I would cry tears of pain
Trying to hide all my shame 
Running from the rain 
But I was drowning anyway.

Writing these words
Seemed to provide
A way to express
The storm raging deep inside

But heavy was my heart 
With all My burdens
My soul was tired
I was ready to give in

Just wanted to close my eyes
And go to sleep 
Cause with the darkness 
Came a small amount of peace

And yet the confinement of my chains
Kept me in the dark
I was locked inside the prison 
Of my own sad heart

Why this torment 
Why me
All I wanted was to be free 
Why would nobody save me

All I wanted to do was scream
But all that came out were obscenities 
Until the day- I saw the light 
And He came and offered serenity

Let the world lift off my shoulders 
Let it seep out through my tears
Let me breath in a new kid of freedom
And let the old stuff just disappear

With His love and mercy 
And His Holy light
Now my battles
Became His fight

I was made whole again
Forgive of my sins
For He is my protector 
And I live through Him.

I've have been saved
I've have been redeemed 
Because through Him 
I was washed clean.

Here I Am

Here I am fading
Into the past

Here I am waiting 
For the future is black 

Here I am living 
In a life of my own

Here I am dying
Only to have been known

Illusion

Today is the day 
The day I die 
To go to heaven 
Where angels lie

Sleeping away an eternity, 
While I stand here wondering 
Why am I in such a great place 
When I killed someone with no face

Did god forgive me? 
I think not
Maybe this is-let me see 
Is it an illusion that will never be

Feeling the hot flames 
Licking at my flesh 
Burning my soul 
Touching my breast

Hearing the screams 
Of unwanted soul
Burning in hell 
I feel at home
