Time asked me who I wanted to see,
Sad and broken I always went to sea
To see the man I'd become in the waters, to try to flee—
But love would never let me be.
She always wanted me to find the perfect one,
The one who would never cook me and leave me undone,
The one who would never make my heart then break it and run,
The one who wouldn't give me middle finger attitude and ignore me and have fun,
Yeah, the one who wouldn't ground the broken pieces of my heart to abrasion!
Wisdom was always laughing at me and warning me,
"Don't do that, don't do this..." She would say
But I thought I was an important somebody,
I never listened 'cause I was always at my own bay—
And I didn't care what wisdom had to say, I didn't really.
Faith said believe, believe
And don't stop with it, don't let go, don't leave—
And it's His voice I chose,
His voice I chose as I rose and rose
Up and up to the ladder of her heart,
Cold as it was, stunning me each time I got close to the top.
Depression,
She waited for me patiently, laughing hysterically at the end of the ladder,
Knives in hand, tears in hand, pistols in hand, ready to rip out my bladder—
And drive me to sadness, to pain that would drive me even madder!
Death tapped her on the back and said,
"When you're done with him, pass him to me and we're done here ok? That's too many hearts broken"...
They won,
Depression got me,
Death walked into my house and took somebody,
Love doesn't have an explanation, she can't explain why the girl in purple broke my heart,
Time is neutral here and he doesn't care,
Faith? He kept pointing me towards Jesus and I kept holding on.
Wisdom? We had sex yesterday!
When I looked up to a particular star at night I used to hear her voice in my head like a mariner's chime
Yet, she left me in the most stunning of ways, my heart sapped of life and a weak me writing a broken boy's rhyme.
