the storm

the storm is coming in
or maybe i'm just too high again
i might even sympathize with you
should've stayed away
guess it's my soulful mistake

wrote my last words in the book he will hardly pick up
i told him never again
maybe now he can see it

oh i wait for the day

it seems i'm always in the fire
can't catch the wind
falling for those who don't even bend
they all leave again and again

they want me dead i guess
another hit, right now writing this
another hit, i took another hit

maybe this is where my happiness begins
happiness in getting rid of him

he's abused me
missed me
he'd take from me
he escaped me
then he
he

hurt me

he

hurt me

in ways that i cannot cope with
so my mind takes the backseat while he abuses my heart one last time
he uses my forgiveness for his sin
in the Bible they wrote about these men

that are digging graves for us
but they do not win
they dug that grave
and then they themselves fell in

i could hate myself for his mistreatment of my soul
but then i remember my soul is safe
because it does not belong to him

my heart
my soul

i put it to good use this time
i gave it to the one who created the breath
he is
you see me, you see him

he saved me from the prison i lived in
like a flightless bird
he gave me wings

i give back his sin
i shake all of his sins away from me
i don't want to love this man
if he is only a man of sin

i now realize this
that the scared child inside of me can find a place to hide
now i've learned man can be bad and turn on you
only in God i shall confide

and someday soon
my heart will be as soft as sky
i won't let the inequities of a broken man change my grace

God loves me
that is why i am home
that is why i am safe
that is why i am protected
that is why i have the strength
i will be okay

God has already shown me better days
