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
Hey Jesse, A well crafted write...Pursue those dreams to the fullest my friend.. Regards, Ken
