Mountain

You are a mountain and you're casting shadows on waves Keeping your head above water That I'm drowning under unsaved Friction-less voices all coming to surface my grave I am a ghost under the burning sun I'm a slave This isn't therapy When they're pushing words And shoving me into the dirt To cover me and leave me hurt Their punishing only makes it worse You are a mountain and I'm seeking shelter from rain Tossing the stones aside, I'm running from all the pressure and pain Guide me back to the path I once walked before going insane My mind sank in the sea when I sought to resurface again I was carted away by the coldest of hands Set astray to be picked cleaned of impure demands But sanctuary should never be a barren land A broken shelter and untouched miles of desert sand This isn't therapy They're pushing words and shoving me Into the dirt to cover me And leave me hurt Their questioning only makes it worse You are a mountain and I'm bathed in shadows you've cast Back down from heaven I'm learning to let go of past Cloaked in your darkness I do not mind walking through glass I'm learning to never trust love when it comes by too fast This isn't therapy, but You are a mountain And my saving thread.
