Falling down. Going up.

At that love and lost Park 
Where I used to sit and watch.
You.
All alone in the dark .
Knowing what you were thinking.
Wishing for a new way out.
You always said nothing would blow you away. 
And you were right.
Nothing's gonna blow you away

You're running out of clock. 
And that ain't a shock.
Some things never do change 
Never do change.
Never will it change. 
Nothing's gonna tear you down.

You said there was never any grace
For someone like you.
Well I'm here to tell you
That you know it. You HAVE it.
So why are you in such a race..

Men can do terrible things.
Yes they can.
But remember. 
Some things do change...
I love you.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Hebrews 4 : 15-16

Chaos and peace.

Like a rose grows on a warm day
Your words are like sunshine to mine.

I walk those streets of Vienna
Searching for the next lit town.

Yesterday was full of nothing.
And tomorrow is overflowing with everything.

The pain controls my thoughts
What I feel twist and rip at me.
Your...you...everything is my remedy.

All is lost and nothing is won.
It's time for healing.
Time to find my way... 
Down this path of insecurity.



Unable but willing.

Where I walk
These paths are unstable.
They sink
They bob and they weave.

When did I get here
And how am I so unable?
I am lost
But I keep my eyes focused
on that Saviour who saved my life.

I don't know what to ask for
But I know with his creative hands
I won't pay the cost.

He's gonna tell me what to do
Even if I only depend on those silly words
from those amazing bands.

I am the unable
I do not listen well
I don't like change.

But I am willing.
I'll give my ears to him.
I'll go where he sends. Where he leads.

I am the unable but willing.

Love Song Requiem.



What's left of me.
How did this happen.
One second I turn.
And the next I lose my sanity. 

Knowing that you weep.
Is this really...
what I want to keep?
I'm a let down.
Yet you hold me twice.

I can't go on. You bring me closer. 
But yet every second I turn.
Me. I'm gone.
I want you. I need you. 

All you wanted. 
Was to see me face down, on my knees. 
Begging for mercy, begging for me. 

You tell me everything will be just fine. 
Yet I'm the runaway all those paper backed boxes speak of.
In the daylight I recover. 
But oh, it will forever hover.

Tonight, all I wish is to curl up and die.
But you pull me tight, you hold me closer.
Don't you think, 
that I should give it a try?

What's left of me.
I know how this happened.
I pushed. I believed I could do this on my own. 

But now...
I'm all alone.

I'm having a breakdown.
I'm beginning to see the light.
All I've ever wished for, ever dreamed.
Is to climb into that captains chair.

This story. It's worth it all.
Although my actions, were without love.
I am the redeemed.

And this is my freedom song.

Although this battle has yet to be won.
I've got some help. He's up above. 
Yes this love, it's oh so rare.

And this...This is what's left of me.
