words ever flowing/pieces of me
Abuse
WITH A THOUSAND POUNDS
Hold me down
and tell me to get up
so I sit and
wonder why
You tried to break my mind
when I think about Your deeds
they all make me scream
Inside
where you've sealed me tight
where I'm locked up
where I'm crucified
burning alive
ripping out my eyes
To keep from seeing you-
but your picture is in my memory
along with what you should have been
scarred and scared
tripped and torn
drug along
tired and worn
Happiness is just a dream to me
If I ever do dream again
the bullets in your words
-poisoned my love-
poisoned my fate
-and I can't find
an answer
to bring about the change-
I couldn't break though
(at least not until faith)
Hold me down
and tell me to get up
so I sit and
wonder why
You tried to break my mind
when I think about Your deeds
they all make me scream
Inside
where you've sealed me tight
where I'm locked up
where I'm crucified
burning alive
ripping out my eyes
To keep from seeing you-
but your picture is in my memory
along with what you should have been
scarred and scared
tripped and torn
drug along
tired and worn
Happiness is just a dream to me
If I ever do dream again
the bullets in your words
-poisoned my love-
poisoned my fate
-and I can't find
an answer
to bring about the change-
I couldn't break though
(at least not until faith)
