I set out

                   for
                  a


                               noiseless
          room.
                         But then

         I remember                 the

silence

                           depresses



me.
I'm not looking forward to this silence.

I question how people
Are so encouraged by my fruit
When my limbs feel so heavy.
How can people see
So many leaves on my branches
When I feel hollow inside my trunk?
But my God reminds me,
My roots have traveled deep around rock,
And it was Him who has planted me.

The blind can't learn to see
by opening their eyes
I can't abolish this gloom
by putting on a disguise
But through faith and trust
I can find my Lord
I will remain in prayer to Him
and abide in His Word
Even during this time where God may seem distant, we can still look to Him because He is present, and we can find comfort by abiding in Him

This morning, my life was without taint
But as the day goes by,
My heart will grow faint
Beaten down by the voices
That taunt my head
Then I forget
The war that's lead
I let another day go by
Polluting what should be
A clear blue sky

The difference between
Being awake and dying
For one, is trying
That's all we're
Called to do
You have saved me
So I'll try to love You

I've told you your ocean should be blue
But I'm a liar just like you
Because right now my ocean's black
And my sky is too

God, strike down your lightning
Help me see
Hit me straight on
Light up your sky

This note
In this glass bottle
Is tossed around by the waves
As I'm sinking

PS. I hope you find it

I don't know why
Some days I decide
I'm better off
Staying quiet
I neglect this world
And figure
It's better off
If I try not to
Transform it
This day

It's in my head
It's out of my mind

I'm upside down
It's inside out
You're underneath
Stay close to me

Help me breathe
I'm singing lah-dah, lah-dah, lah-dah

The sun seems to fall with such gravity
Don't feel like the earth as it turns from sanity
Night brings gloom as the day comes to an end
But you must know dark is not your only friend
Shortly you feel the truth of being saved
Until your hope is burried in a midnight grave
In this moment you must let shadows burn
Rise and stand your ground waiting for the night's return
We might not all make it out but please try
We will win so find hope in what's promised to die
