This life has felt so bleak lately Gazing at pale skies and dead trees Aimlessness encompasses me Indulging on my joy and peace I'm drowning in despondency I hold myself under the waves How could I ever be free? Engulfed by self deprecation Choose love not fear and draw near You and I will persevere Through harsh seasons of grief I'll guide your feet back to me I wish my life was not like this All I do is wallow in ache Instead of breathing new life I have squandered my existence Choose love not fear and draw near How can I be any good to you dead You and I will persevere For graveyards sing no songs Through harsh seasons of grief In the darkness of death who remembers you I'll guide your feet back to me How can I bring light if I'm buried away? I'm sick of surrendering to fear Paralyzed by the Fear of failing, the fear of dying, and the fear of being forgotten I relinquish these feelings to you Make me whole Maybe my bones can become the soil for your wilted gardens Your roots can strangle what remains of my flawed vessel So I could trade these ashes for beauty Although My soul may be stripped from this mortal coil and be lost in transit I know I'm on my way to being found
