TIME OF FEAR

Oh, the things I had witnessed with my eyes
and the sounds of agony play in my ears.
I hear the voice of he
coming through the storm of pain
calling out my name,
Making feel more ashamed
while he casts all his blame.
Louder, louder, his voice is in my head
while I'm lying down in my bed.
I hear the whispers taunting in the crying wind.
Challenging me in a war of sin-
all the things he had ever said
is playing over and over in my mind.
The days and years and months
are moving faster, yet, I'm still stuck,
wandering how I got this way.
In this moment and time of being so lost,
in the blink of an eye, you have given my life darkness
all I do is a dream of you.
You held my hand, and you held it tight
you showed me things to make me cry.
You draw the lines on wet sand,
telling me where I stand.
You have beaten me down throughout the years
leaving me broken in tears.
Now you're gone
and I'm still lost,
still crying in fear.
Oh, don't leave me in this nightmare,
please get me out of this mess.
Get out of my head,
I'm broken, in shock.
Don't leave me here on my own.
How far is it that you have gone?
HOW FAR-HOW FAR?
Oh, the things I had witnessed with my eyes
and the sounds of agony plays in my ears
that gave me a lifetime of fears.
