Anodyne

I have gotten so close to your skin,
I was hoping to make this loss a win.
I can't get loose from all your little quirks.
I just wanted to use the things that work.
You seem to be stuck on my brain,
I feel so crazy but I could be sane.
It feels like these words were tattooed to my forehead.
But I made my bed now I have to lay down in it.
You were my emotional waste station,
where I would dump all of my messes,
Always hoping you would clean them up.

I will be your drug if you need it.
I will scare away all your fears.
I will be your obsession addiction that your chasing so hard.
I will be your love if you want it.
 
So I will give you permission to drag me along,
and if it makes you feel any better I will stop acting a fool,
but don't feel bad when I say you should too. 
I was patiently erasing all those bad memories,
where you disagreed with my points of view.
We did everything in an orderly time,
but everything ended up so late.
And though you ran from your home,
I still want everything to be just fine.
I just want you to be all mine.

I will be your drug if you still need it.
I will take the pain from you and place on myself.
I will be everything that you crave for you.
I will be your love if you want it.

The End Times?

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:6-8; Mark 13:7-8 NIV).Mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV). But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (2 Peter 3:10 NIV). An...

Even On My Worst Days

My eyes are opened wide, And the world is falling to pieces, I feel like sealing my heart completely. The tears still drop towards the ceiling. I wish I could see your beautiful creation again, But everything is still upside down. It’s another fight and one more day on the ground. I can pray for heaven to come raining, But here on earth I am drowning. I can say all the right things, But be misheard by everyone. As I am being pushed out to sea, You’re still out there searching for me. The love you have always strengthens me. And so I step on some toes on my path, And I struggle to trust the people around me, So, I may be losing myself as well, But I know I can never lose your grace. My faith could never change, Even on my worst days.

Give It Up For You

Here I am caught in this dance, Spinning until I finally get my chance. I’ll put one foot forward, I’ll put one foot back, But until we move together, We will continue to lose each other. So here is my hand, I’ll open myself up wide, So you can forever live inside. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it out, So here is my soul I’ll let it go. So here is my life I give it up for you. Here I am to finally lose myself, I know you could truly help. I’ll leave my burdens at the door, I’ll leave my trash at the altar, And I will live this life, The way you taught me. So In my final steps, Maybe our footing wasn’t perfect, Maybe our wording wasn’t all clean, But in the end you were forever here to love me. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it all out, So here is my soul I’ll finally let it go. So here is my life I’ll forever give it up for you.
