I spent too much time today. On things that don't mean much. The world around me groans. Under its tyranny of touch. And every wasted thought. And every battle left unfought.
I spent my head in the candy store buyin' hopes based on hints. Which probably weren't right. Someone dimmed the light,. And I lost my sense of truth.
Will you hold my hand?. Do I have to stand in this world all alone. where it's icy cold. and all the people chime in. "You've got to sink or swim"?. .
Since I am so sick. Since I am in need. Since I have no healing within me. . Oh, my God, be mindful of me. You are my help and my Redeemer. Oh, my God, be mindful of me.
Somebody just said something bout the devil. and I looked into your eyes. Honey, I think I saw a demon wink. right through your thin disguise. Well, that's okay, I could run away and that'd be the end of that.
Save me, oh God. For the waters have come up to my neck. I am sinking to the bottom Where I cannot stand. I am calling to you, can you hear my cry?. .

Well, this night just feels outdated. It's a tired reminder of the bad. whe you held on to what you hated. and you hated what you had. And your mind was out on the corner.
Oh, Girl, I'm gonna call you now. And hope you hear somehow. Across the valley low. Above the muted snow. . And, girl, I hope your feet ain't froze. That you don't fear the way the river flows.

Your momma's drunk. You sister went insane. You been trying to keep from getting sick. Standing in the pouring rain. . No one told you. That it would be this hard.
She plays with my words like they were hers. Little soldiers in a war against themselves. She used to rob me of my own intent. But now I'm keeping my findings from her shelves.
