SHELTER FROM THE STORM
I woke up once in a sweet sweet sweat
I began my journey then
Begging for forgiveness
Repenting for my sins
I traveled over the valley of my soul
Wander upon them still
Redemption comes not to me
This man remains a fool
Prisoner trapped inside my desires
Wont come upon an end
So I scream to empty skys
Hollow words to judging eyes
My truths ring lies upon the rock
My heart cliffs send back no replies
So I climbed the mountains of my mistakes
And come always to walls
When a man climbs beyond his means
All thats lefts to fall
I swam across the seas salty bloody tears
And from the depths far below I swim from year to year
Swift I move but still to slow
All choices made will catch me unprepared
Memories haunt the darkened glades
Remind me of my faults
Broken now I bend my will
And ask you take me in
Shelter from the raging storm
I burn within my frozen heart and cast away your skin
Touch me not
Lest you catch my cancer sins
Let me pay the debts I owe
And let the light back in
I fear the cost to much to give
That I wont make the bill
Ask however that I try
So for once I will not fail
I began my journey then
Begging for forgiveness
Repenting for my sins
I traveled over the valley of my soul
Wander upon them still
Redemption comes not to me
This man remains a fool
Prisoner trapped inside my desires
Wont come upon an end
So I scream to empty skys
Hollow words to judging eyes
My truths ring lies upon the rock
My heart cliffs send back no replies
So I climbed the mountains of my mistakes
And come always to walls
When a man climbs beyond his means
All thats lefts to fall
I swam across the seas salty bloody tears
And from the depths far below I swim from year to year
Swift I move but still to slow
All choices made will catch me unprepared
Memories haunt the darkened glades
Remind me of my faults
Broken now I bend my will
And ask you take me in
Shelter from the raging storm
I burn within my frozen heart and cast away your skin
Touch me not
Lest you catch my cancer sins
Let me pay the debts I owe
And let the light back in
I fear the cost to much to give
That I wont make the bill
Ask however that I try
So for once I will not fail
