On My Knees

Wading and sinking and drowning
In a sea of mental death
Falling and hurting and lingering
In the salty river unwept

Reaching a psychological impasse
When brooding gets too hard to bear
Bruising and bleeding and dying
In a state of "I don't care"

Lifelines appearing I know I can reach
Still my traitor heart beats
I try to quell all whispers of hope
But deep in my heart, it lives

Finally off of my bed I roll
Down on my knees I get
I know it's time to call on the grace
That paid my eternal debt

And now it's hard to find the words
So all I say is "please"
And rest in the arms that unfailingly catch me
Every time I'm on my knees
