| | My life is a cup of sugar I borrowed before time began
and forgot to return.
It was a matter of time:
I always said I could see
now I'm going blind.
It was a matter of miserable time
but I heard somewhere there was a cure for useless eyes.
----------
I was swimming through the waves for what must have been days...
But could find no relief;
When I started sinking down
I thought for certain I would drown...
Until I saw you in the ocean,
Underneath all the bright colored fish tell of a treasure in a dull shell...
"Such subtlety, so easily missed!"
You, my hidden pearl of pure and perfect love,
And I'm the living example of 100% the opposite of this.
----------
Come quick, You Light that knows no evening!
Come, alone to the alone!
There are a thousand half-smiles well worth leaving
for to take your madness home
And You dance inside my chest where no one sees You,
But sometimes I see You.
----------
Oh, pretenders, let's go down
let's go down, won't you come on down?
Oh, pretenders, let's go down
down to the river to pray.
"Oh, but I'm so afraid" or "I'm set in my ways"
But He'll make the rabbits and rocks sing His praise.
"Oh, but I'm too tired, I won't last long."
No, He'll use the weak to overcome the strong!
Oh, Amanda, let's go down... let's go down, won't you come on down?
Mama, Nana, let's go down... down in the dirt by the river to pray.
(A wick to fit the wax... wood to fit the wire)
You strike the match.
Why not be utterly changed to fire?
To sacrifice the shadow and the mist of a brief life you never much liked?
So if you'd care to come along, we're gonna curb all our never-ending, clever complaining,
As who's ever heard of a singer criticized by his song?
Though we hunger, though all that we eat brings us little relief,
We don't know quite what else to do;
We have all our beliefs, but we don't want our beliefs!
God of Peace, we want You.

(I am not crazy, and I'm not dead yet. Though this sickly dull pain numbs my spirit and plagues my mind, the one who holds the stars is near, and He will make this right.)
