Iremia

I'm in a state of mental panic Relentless thoughts take hold of me These possibilities seem so endless Yet I'm frozen by anxiety Restore the light Cast off darkened countenance Lift up your eyes And soothe your troubled mind And all that's trapped inside Overwhelming and consuming Draining me till I collapse from fright Do your hands still guide me on this path I've taken? Or do I stand alone, have I been forsaken? Detrimental deprivation seeking to desensitize Choking out the life from our dreams No steps are taken, no progress made and I'm paralyzed Searching for anything to gain momentum Restore the light Cast off darkened countenance Lift up your eyes And soothe your troubled mind All that's trapped inside Will I find peace amidst this chaos? Before I sleep beneath the waves? Inexplicably, I feel the storm calm As once again I meet your gaze Restore the light Cast off darkened countenance Lift up your eyes And soothe your troubled mind With my eyes set firmly on you I will never sink again
