FAITH 

if you truly care for me

than pull no punches

if i bleed than i bleed

i simply want honesty

is that so much to ask for

apparently

i just need a little

something more

than everything

i've been asking for

i've no clue what that is

i just hope and pray that it exists

does it exist

—

if we've hope

of which we don't speak

if there's wonder left

for us to see in this world

tell me where i have to be

i'll go till my legs give out

from underneath me

i swear i'll give my all

—

here it is again that dreadful swell that pools

within my every cell

and beckons forth a truth

my heart and mind cannot dispel

you see if deaths a gate and theres a key

and hells for those who go willingly than we

lie to ourselves

its something we do all too well

—

break me down and build me up

ive seen what my wretched hands have wrought

if its finished i am too

take me up in arms with you
