Sedate Me With Love Tonight

Here I sit in a corner within my straight jacket of feeling
As I tremble back & forth trying to find the way of dealing
These open wounds writing tears on the wall that aren’t healing
The air in this room has always been way too concealing
This darkness is so blinding I can’t see my own ceiling
A essence of one seeping out the paint that is peeling
Anxiety’s noose suffocating the passion of meaning
Depression’s waves drowning the voice that is reasoning

Could this life sedate me with love tonight
Would you hold my heart & comfort it until it’s alright
Could these odds be erased that I continue to fight
Would you bathe my spirit in the purest light

Tragic memories resonating the bad in my head
Pain coursing through my veins that can’t be bled
I stand alone watching this hope being laid to bed
My heartbeat continues even though inside I feel dead
I look in the mirror to see my faith slipping my friend
Afraid my feelings couldn’t translate the messages I’d send
Your cries of suffering that I was taking with me to the end
I’m broken into pieces & these words can no longer play pretend

Could this life sedate me with love tonight
Would you hold my heart & comfort it until it’s alright
Could these odds be erased that I continue to fight
Would you bathe my spirit in the purest light
