Tower of Silence - Track 11
Hook
I’ll keep on going
If you keep on showing
Yeah I’ll keep it going, for you
If you keep on showing, up to
I can’t see it no, oh oh
But if you deem is so, oh no
I will go, oh oh
I will go, oh no
Verse 1
An ode to the darkness
I owe it to who fought this
To the One who saved me
And no, it wasn’t just a daydream
I prob’ly lost a lot of me
But thanks anyways—you set me free
I won’t consider it a loss—made it out to be the dark that has lost
My mind buckles in shotty, the darkness taking over my body
I’m sorry, but I’m taking back what belongs to me
I’m taking a break from these things where I stored my emotion
It causes too much commotion
I’m putting my mind on cruise control
I’m letting the Lord above take it all
But the truth is, I can’t cut ties with the silence
The dangerous are those who face the violence
It will always be here
My mind will always tied to the side that’s easier
But I’ve found a way to fight it
Take the darkness as a weapon and light it
Chorus
There’s still silence admits the sound
Determined to wear me down
All around, I’m srround–
–ed, and pound–
–ed, into the ground
I’m hounded like those long dead
Found, now I’m grounded
And surrounded
By something far more profound
Verse 2
I started the car, but I never got that far
I stayed until the air drew thin, even then
I waited for my death, stripping myself of breath
But then my Savior opened the garage and saved me from my *******
See how you’re alive—it’s for a reason
Though you may be barely breathing
So it’s time for us to drive out and pet the Lord direct our route
Because we’re all writing suicide notes, just for the fun
But to forget what we wrote, we must first put down the gun
Please hear this—it’s okay to come before in submission
With hesitation and opposition
Chamber loaded while holding the ammunition
Because if you’re like me, your brain is bloated with floating questions
I must warn you of my condition
Could it really be anxiety and depression?
It’s a disorder I have yet to oblige
For now, for you, I’ll call it a thorn in my side
But I promise you everything will be alright
I’ll get through and I’ll be just fine
It’s a blessing I’ve come to realize
So don’t be afraid of what I feel assigned
This thorn in my side may give me some fear
But I’ve come to understand why it is here
This weakness is not something to hide behind
But a way for me to finally find
Those who are going through the same exercise
Learning with these people how to empathize
And teaching me that I must learn to consign
My thoughts and fears to let Him guide
May these sufferings be scars of my loyalty
And strengthen me in God’s sovereignty
I will endure the thoughts I face all day long
Because it is in the Father that I belong
Were it not for Him, I would have given to the grave
But in His power and goodness, I am saved
Chorus
There’s still silence admits the sound
Determined to wear me down
All around, I’m srround–
–ed, and pound–
–ed, into the ground
I’m hounded like those long dead
Found, now I’m grounded
And surrounded
By something far more profound!
