lyrics: dave paris, music: dave paris

another routine has taken me too far from where i began

and now i find myself sinking slowly in the sand

what i was, who i am, who i’m gonna be three strangers who share my space

my fair weather life seems so passé and i feel so out of place

a vision of the days ahead and i don’t like what i see

it’s not so much the trials i face it’s more about the brand new me

i can feel the needs of the world around me, there’s so many Prayers that need said

but i can’t seem to see past this mirror to get out of the state i’m in

(chorus)

i’m tired of being afraid, Lord, will You come and ease my pain?

i’m backed into a corner from all the mistakes i’ve made.

and now, i see my so-called solutions have just led me astray

and now it’s back to square one and i’m tired of being afraid.

is this what’s left of my destiny? i supposed it’s what i deserve.

i let this pain get the best of me and now i’m feeling wounded and burned.

You know, it hurts to be so honest but no one in my world understands.

i’m watching my heart fall by the wayside, as love slips through my hands.

the glass keeps getting darker, the clouds are setting in.

if i keep relying on my strength i know i’ll never win.

Lord, i’m sick of my self pity so please take these burdens now.

i’ve burned all of my bridges and You are my only out.

(to chorus)
