lyrics

There must be an end, but from here I can’t see it. And I’m sorry, for all that it’s worth, but I am worth more than this. I am better than this. I know there is light, but my God, I just can’t seem to reach it. Beneath the weight of these failings my back is beginning to bow. Don’t turn yours on me now.

(This is not what it seems. You are more than you think.)

Brother, I’m lost, and sinking down. A voice crying out, an echo without a sound. Father, I’m far from home and from heart, and my only hope is that hope is enough.

There will be a dawn, but this dark is more pressing. You can detail my weakness, but you preach to the choir with each word. Yes, I’ve heard this before. I am far from disowned but I’ve never felt further from safety. How could this be the moment you’ve chosen to leave me alone? How dare you let go?

If none of this meant anything to anyone but me, then isn’t that the same as meaning absolutely nothing? If all you want is victory, then take your pound of flesh and leave. I already gave up everything. What else can you demand from me?

And we are no one’s keepers, you and I... the truth is we can barely keep ourselves in line. We may be broken but keep watch and hold out hope. Past the horizon line there dawns a distant light.
