Whether it be secrets or lies
She keeps them hidden inside
Miseries and agonies too
She's beside herself
Without the silence,
Too much noise breaks through
Not knowing what else to do
She runs to that place
Where she keeps her silence
Hidden away
It's dark there
And filled with so much pain
But she can never let the silence escape
Too many losses and nothing to gain
Let the tears rain, she can't explain
So, she hides herself in her dreams
With the silence she keeps

Nights like these
I feel soft, spineless
Lilies growing in my liver
Wingless, tethered to my bed post
Body one with the sheets,
One with the waxen moon
The lonesome crescent
That knows what it’s like to sleep alone,
That knows the phantom ache
Of being dissevered
From its gibbous lover

We love like thunder
Like lightning splitting the sky
Like the earth knows this

Lord, I struggle each day
To live a perfect way
I just want to be
All You want me to be

But why,
Why do I keep on sinning everyday?
No matter how hard I try
It just won't work my way

I want to be free
From all the darkness inside of me

With all my might
I can't do it
With all my strength
I can't still do it
But with Your grace
I will make it
Oh God, Oh God
You are all I need

For by grace I am saved
Through faith in Christ Jesus.

Tough on the outside
       but trampled inside
Tearless
     but bleeding
Broken
     but smiling

Who would have known
  that it is hard to move on?

everything worth having
requires you to spend something
whether it's time or money
someone or something
as long as you have
the thing you called
"MY EVERYTHING"
