Trying Not To Slip

Masked in this world,
Can’t scream all the fear gone,
Let me out, let me out,
Something’s very wrong.

I am seeing double faces,
A theater on the wall,
The one we all teeter on,
Trying not to fall.

He tries to erase my memories,
And my longing for Heaven’s touch,
Journeying until the life after,
He knows I am worth much.
He begs and pleads,
Trying to break me and such.

He wants to make me a stranger,
To my God, my Father,
Until I burn down,
Slipping even farther.
Farther away and away.

I answer to a higher power,
Not the one underground,
I put my rage in the cage,
Not going to let it out.

My life is an open book,
Started out black and white
Then came the color,
Then came the fight.

With the realization of sin’s,
Painted pictures all around,
My eyes were opened wide,
To see a world without a crown.

He tries to erase my memories,
And my longing for Heaven’s touch,
Journeying until the life after,
He knows I am worth much.
He begs and pleads,
Trying to break me and such.

He wants to make me a stranger,
To my God, my Father,
Until I burn down,
Slipping even farther.
Farther away and away.

Moving in his profession,
He’s the face of the worldly kind,
Tempting me to do my worst,
Hiding in the light, disguised.

He tries to erase my memories,
And my longing for Heaven’s touch,
Journeying until the life after,
He knows I am worth much.
He begs and pleads,
Trying to break me and such.

He wants to make me a stranger,
To my God, my Father,
Until I burn down,
Slipping even farther.
Farther away and away.
