A very personal verse about my life struggles; with addiction, mental health, spirituality and purpose. Back story and lyrics below.

I was asked to write based on the chorus and a phone conversation. I executed immediately and made myself available to record. At the recording session, I was asked to be on the first verse and informed about an upcoming music video shoot. A few weeks later, I saw "behind the scenes" footage on social media from the music video, but never got so much as a call or text to invite me or to let me know I was removed from the song. 

When I confronted the individual, I was informed he "forgot" to invite me (no mention about being removed from the song) then went on to give me an insulting excuse about how I expect too much and he could never be a good enough brother in Christ or friend to me. I was more hurt and disappointed than anything. I didn't feel angry or feel the need to write another verse attacking or anything like that. Just a bummer that someone who played a major role in my "becoming Christian" would come at me like that, after I had to be the one to reach out to him just for the sake of clarifying what was even going on with the song.

God Bless.

LYRICS
...been picked up by the scruff from another proud downfall. / Voluntary darkness, wakin' from a blackout in a parked car. / Starving, lost, afraid for my life, searching for my pipe; scared to face the light... Exhausted, from wasting time! / Eye to eye with my demise - in crisis still insisting: I don't need Christ, I don't need prayer, I don't need advice! / Do enough good deeds, maybe I could make right all the wrong ones? Penance, was never meant to cover for the work of His blood! / A partnership I couldn't earn but gladly do attempt to work; the fruits are there to tend and share, but many just don't know the worth. / Try to make it attractive, cuttin' down on distractions; used to bite the hand that fed me - now I plant seeds and pray: / For imminent expansion; that's and unlimited advancements. On earth... As in Heaven; is that too much to ask for? / With baited breath I'll set the pace and run the race that's laid ahead. / I've lived for sin, I've died for it, I've been reborn; I lay at rest.
