State of Mind

Heavens silhouette outlined in silver sheets
A crown of gold entwined with angels wreath
But its the halo that falls down around my neck
This promise of life is choking me instead
Lord I know I've been the unfaithful one
Standing in my own shadow blocking out the sun
With one hand I raise up high to bring You grace
The other one I hide, because it brings me shame
I've walked on this uneven fault line now for months
If I continue any longer then I will turn to to dust
As I march to the capitol of this State of Mind
I'm consumed by all this chaos of mine
Like a never ending falling star in sleepless nights
Im a rabid wolf prepared for war and ready to die
You see I am not afraid of depths or afraid of heights
Ever since my first breath I've been reaching for the sky
Im not afraid of the darkness or whats inside
But its what I find in light that hurts my heart and bleeds my eyes
So I close them both and begin counting my sheep
But the flock has strayed away into their own dreams
