legend. fuck everything else. the real deal. hope you're well man.

i wish you could see
what you're doing to me
but i understand that 
i can be no better
still learning how to
handle what comes my way

what a fucking mess
im sorry to address this
situation but im 
tired of turning away
so many things i 
wish i had the bollocks to say
to your face but

i hide behind a melody
hand in hand with my demons
and dance before the
fires of regret

i can admit i am a cunt
but alas i remain disgruntled against
an abundance of
those who cry so mercifully:
"tis us the non-cunts and
we applaud thee"

maybe one day i will find
the strength to remove from
my mind
all the shit that sucks the
life right out of me
and live a life
fucked up free

hide behind a melody

ive wandered far away from God, now im coming home
the paths of sin too long ive trod, Lord, im coming home
coming home, coming home, nevermore to roam
open now Thine arms of love, Lord, im coming home

ive wasted many precious years, now im coming home
i now repent with bitter tears, Lord, im coming home
ive tired of sin and straying, Lord, now im coming home
ill trust Thy love, believe Thy word, Lord, im coming home

my soul is sick, my heart is sore, now im coming home
my strength renew, my hope restore, Lord, im coming home

Lord, im coming home

the storm has settled and
she's still lonesome today
sweet city aromas bears a 
cunning nostalgia
she prays  

elevate me 
i long to be 
part of everything i see
feel alive for the first time

beneath the surface 
sits a worthy girl 
sowing seeds of courage
reaping forests of resilience
she sings

elevate me 
i long to be 
part of everything i see
feel alive for the first time
she feels alive for the first time

breathe in the light 
that was there all along

alive for the first time

been looking for God
and im still
stuck in my old ways
self-centered fear 
lingers on
forcing me to

cling to the illusions
ive built in my mind
out of pain
that ive denied to
pass through me

wandering about
high and low
trying to behave
as dishonesty 
ever digs
me an early grave

its a catch 22 my friend
why must i 
suffer to be closer to You?
only a fool would expect 
such a thing:
freedom without the pain

to be closer to You

been running all my life
stuck in survival mode
taker of hearts
and giver of grief
 
where's the peace i was promised
following You?
im on my knees these days
bloodied and bruised

storms in my soul
keep me from holding on
drenched in regret
on this cold night

where's the peace i was promised
following You?
im on my knees these day
how i plead these days

take me in Lord
show me how im Yours
bring me home Lord
hold me now im Yours

lost at sea
beacons of amber glow
cut through the fog 
from the lighthouse of Your heart

its the Love i was promised
following You

hide behind a melody
