Still

Do you see the light exuding
the blood stains still trickling
in my tears absorbed
by the quiet
the stillness I lack
oh that I long for

this battle has me strapped
to a weapon,
i didn't know
war could be this cold
I didnt know how quickly a heart could tarnish
The stains it would leave on a soul

Do you hear a voice calling ?
In the distance,
far beyond your vision,
beyond audible sound
Sounding like notes to a put to time
I hear a song far in the distance
It calls a name,
could it be mine?


this battle has me strapped
to a weapon,
i didn't know
war could be this cold
I didnt know how quickly a heart could tarnish
The stains it would leave on a soul


And this thing they call love here
it's all a lie
they've taken something beautiful
made it dark, dirtied it
My Jesus, vandalized
Egos. greed, selfishness
I need to feel Love's hand
touching and healing my wounds
Making visionaries of the blind


This battle has me strapped
to a weapon,
i didn't know
war could be this cold
I didnt know how quickly a heart could tarnish
The stains it would leave on a soul


Please tell me what you see
because I cant see past this blurred and shattered mirror
that stands in front of me
