Existing....

We carry like an anchor
The tribulations of our youth
Some allege it without bearing
But our bruises scream the truth
Once the hold is broken
We will throw the world away
To anticipate the battles
Of another sordid day
Higher now we raise our shields
In protection of our causes
We waste the time we've borrowed
As our heartaches give no pauses
If someone were to ask us
Are you living or existing?
Are you quietly complying
Or violently resisting?
Fighting time and all it's pleasures
Fighting God and all his plans
Fighting off the fated minutes
Surrendered to His hand
We'll hold tight to the knowledge
That we'll one day freely walk
No longer bound in prisons
Created by a clock

Untitled...

Desperate for redemption
You bang your head against a wall
Caged inside your memories
You pray your fists can make it fall
The pain builds in your temples
With your void white flag unfurled
Since the day you fell from grace
Building your temples to this world
A hopeless cry for mercy
Simply echoes in your ear
With no foothold to press your weight
You climb but go nowhere
Your faith has been forgotten
You stare into a mirror
Reflecting back the image
Of the voice you cannot hear
I beg you, rest your efforts
Put your trust in me
Let me bare your burden
With the grace you don't yet see...
