I'm distracted
I'm lost
I'm broken and battered and worn

I don't know where to go
Don't know who to turn to
I know no one cares
But I need someone to know

My faith has been fading
My life keeps unraveling

Those dreams I once had
To fly away, nap on the clouds
Those dreams we all had
Fueled by that folly thing called Hope

My pencil on a blank page
My canvas still painted white
Inspiration is just a term we use
     when we learn something new about ourselves.

     But I breathe in ignorance

My faith keeps fading
My life keeps unraveling
A spool of yarn re-wound too many times

My heart is tired
My limbs are weak
I'm barely here anymore

Prayer was formerly my reminder
     I was never alone
But now the words just bounce around
     In my head

Forgotten when out of sight
Ignored in presence
I guess I make a better window than a door

My faith keeps fading
My life keeps unraveling
A puller on a sweater
     Caught on something by fault only of its own

It knows it messed up
Ruined the whole thing
That piece of thread
     Just wants to be part of something special

But for everything else to be okay
     It knows it needs to be snipped.
