Naked and afraid
Chased into a cave
By wolves of lust and hate
Who now decide my fate
I can see the serpents slither from behind
They deceive me (everyday)
Believing all their lies
Running away
Night consumes the day
I keep running away
And as my body blows away with the gust
I realize I've forgotten that all I am is dust
All we are is dust

Swimming in a sea
The tears of God surrounding me
An ocean made of grace
Fallen from his distant face
My body taints the water
The more and more I falter
The liquid turns to waste
I am the sea's disgrace
When do I drown beneath the waves?
Why do you leave me feeling astray?
Swallow me with your weeping
And take me away
I long for the shoreline the sand to burn my feet
Waves only to cleanse of my constant self-defeat
or let me drown into the ocean
and take my final breath I sink to the bottom
and feel my lungs collapse.

-Lyrics-
Oh this safe haven
Another home to forever escape
No one will find you
You can shut everyone out
But this little boy you used to be can't take anymore
Can't take it anymore.
I can't imagine the addictions you had to face
And I truly feel for all your past mistakes
But what am I supposed to do when I realize
That the hero of the story can't defeat the villain inside
And so I see now
You never needed the devil to help you fall
And so I'm looking towards the God of this story
To keep me and you in his steadfast hands.
The only thing we can say
and we will say it aloud
"I'm only human"

Left here regretful stuck here inside
You're not here to help people
you're just here to hide
Tear down these four walls.

First breath.
I realize I'm always on the outside looking in
Fear of rejection leaves myself in a hollowed void
with nothing to stand for
Keeping with the idea that I am alone
Keeps me fixed in my own personal hell
Somedays I know I've done nothing for myself
Spoon fed and fed up with what I cannot attest
It's time to beat the status quo
It's time to cross Virgin Soil!!
As my feet hit solid ground
I realize the beginning is here
and as I wait for my predator
I can finally stand tall.
Goodnight.
