Was it self mutilation or lack of self of control
That catalyzed my desperation to separate my skin from soul
As I walk alone on this sphere, broken by love rebuilt by fear
I scream against the wind but there is no one here
I'm seeing red fading into black
My full potential I've been holding back
The devil left me in this desert to die alone
In search for wisdom I will find my way back home
As I will do my best to seek You out
No compass wheel just my will and ground
With my imagination watch me win their hearts
With Your inspiration watch me win their thoughts
But my enemy is cunning he sends his dogs to watch
I count my blessing and they remind me of my have nots
It seems the more I breathe its just the more I bleed
But I won't let them break my souls sovereignty
My vision is forward and my foot steps are secure
But how much tribulation must one man endure
On my quest for hope I stumbled upon swollen eyes
Lord have I not lived long enough to feel alive
Author of my life, the highest mountain that I'm belayed
Fill these pages with more than just my numbered day
So when I find peace and my eyes fall down like rain
Please let me stay and rest
In Your Holiness…
