When the burdens of the world have all come crashing down,
when there's no one left to hold no comfort to be found;
when daylight seems a blur and the only peace is dark,
I'll leave you to your metaphors and pierce my breaking heart

I'm sorry that I hurt you
I'm sorry that I stopped
I'm sorry that I chased you
I'm sorry I got caught
I'm sorry for my temper
I'm putting all this in the past
I'm sorry for today
But today will be the last

I took your hand and held your pain
close to my heart whispered your name
and shared your joy while all the while
consoling the sorrow behind your smile

I love your button nose
And  your curly wavy hair
Your curious little fingers
And your wondrous blue eyed stare
Your giant little smile
And your laugh that melts my heart
Your wiggly little toes
And each and every part

I would be the snow where you make angels
and the powder where you fall
The leaves that catch your eye
changing colors in the fall
The sounds that lift your spirit
singing softly in the spring
The warm summers sun
and the happiness within

Dream to chance
a change in time
a place for me
and you are mine
a dance a swirl
oh what a sight
I’ll hold you close
I’ll hold you tight
 
The warmth you seek is here inside, I’ll fill your hearts desires
The cold will never break our stride, my loves a burning fire

I am god the devil born of strife
living this hell that we call life
a tormented servant a leader of man
an empty shell no salvation at hand
You reached out but I forgot to say hello
I died but you forgot to say goodbye

A soul full of jealousy,
a heart full of pride,
I struggle to keep my demons inside
 
My mind is corrupted,
my anger unleashed
my path is unclear as I change my stride
  
Relentless anguish,
unbearable pain,
a place I know all to well,
Heaven help me, for I have fallen,
I'm stuck on the wrong side of hell

Morning dew lends her kiss my skin so soft and sweet
 
the scent of heaven in the air, rich soil beneath my feet
 
rays of sunshine warm and bright as they come to say hello
 
while a gentle breeze blows on by leaving petals in the meadow

Despair a place of solace, disillusion a state of being,
when emptiness routes the soul forbidding any dreams.
You try to smile your placid smile with untold torment tearing you apart inside.  Was it seen?  Could they know?  Have they discovered the secret you try to hide?

Ignorance is bliss and in ignorance those around us live their lives blissfully, but pain is bitter sweet and consumes us frivolously.

And someday it will all end.

Amen
