Dive Into A Holy River. And Wash Away My Sins

by Brittany   Jul 14, 2009


This disease is killing me
With every ounce its got
Its taken all my strength away
Its beaten me to the top
Its stripped me of my blood
And left me with nothing more
My veins they run dry
My eyes they see no more

My hands now move for an artistic touch
Pen meets paper
Tough meets luck
Images appear as I move these lines
But things are still not clear
I'm still dwelling in this time

My heart is withered
It can stand alone no more
With everything that its seen
It can pump alone once more
With everything that its done
It is working over time
Trying to keep me strong
Begging to keep me alive

The words I speak
They've got no truth
They've got no purpose
They've got no use
But I continue to lie each day
To tell you I'm alright
To tell you I'm okay

Always and forever I can't bare to cross that line
Stuck right here
Stuck in time
Always and forever thinking about the past
Won't move forward
Always looking back

So many things I see wrong
I can't breathe, I can't move on
I can't tell you why I'm going down
But I've fallen off the edge
Nothing now but pure flat ground
You were too blind to see that there was wrong
To see that I was different
To see that I couldn't be strong
You were too blind to realize the change
To realize I was heart broken as I died in pain
