SKINNY LOVE

SKINNY LOVE

Filtered facades 

Fall from grace

You should of saw the look upon your face

I tried to grasp you

keep you safe

You slipped right through

You beautiful waif

This may be the keeping of the peace

Or unleash

A horrific beast

The tipping of my hand

Freed the aces up my sleeve

Kept you guessin

I believe.

SHELTER

SHELTER

All that I never thought I wanted,
Has come around full circle, now confronted.

It now is useful to me,
As long as I umbrella my empathy.

I've been sick, been sad,
I've been confused, been mad.

I see wisdom I can not explain,
My subconscious lock never came.

LET ME SHINE

I wrote my name and number

The ink began to fade

I dare not walk the street

I disappear in the shade

The mirror shows no reflection 

Cause the bill has not been paid

So I whisper these words

Hoping to be saved

God

Keep me off my knees

Keep the tears from my eyes

I'm asking you please

Give me heart to survive

Put the daylight in front of me

The shadows behind

Strip away the sorrow

And

LET ME SHINE

I wrote my name and number

The ink flared bright red

And when I walk down the street

Everyone must turn their head

The mirror shows no reflection

except the brilliance of the glare

So I whisper these words

Knowing that he cares.

AMEN

AMEN

I am at the thinest part of my thick,

I've been around and back that quick.

Realizing my boundaries are boundless

For once I am anything but groundless

Past the part of trying to explain

When you look at me you see sane

I smell the sweetness of success

With every sin that I confess.
