Eclipse

Death claimed this day for its own

The life I had planned is now gone

The world around me fell

Even the air around me has become my own fiend

I fought, altercations I’ve spat

Till my body had grown weak

Cursed were the things my hands built

Barren was the ground I planted my seed

Everything meant nothing, and in nothingness

I found my new home

Loneliness and seclusion are my only company now

They are the only ones that will walk this path with me

My tears, all I have for food

Woe and sorrow is my only song now

Has my faith slipped through the floor

What’s left of my life, shambles in a dry well

Oh God

When did my own strides take precedent over your sovereignty

When did my sights flip the scales

When did I become more and you became less

This mess I made is a product of self-reliance

As I try to stand on these trembling legs I lean on you

You are the only constant in this wavering world

You are the only hope that I have in my darkest of days

You are my strength, my peace, when I have none

You are the satisfaction, for my emptiness, for this emptiness

Take away everything, revive this contrite heart

When the wind blows dig your roots deep

Dig your roots deep

The light breeze that once entertained these leaves

Are now vices gusting me into a heap

Now I know I created an eclipse

All these days I’ve been so blind

Now I know I cannot live with out the Son

My own desires blocking out the light

Now I know

The life I had planned is now gone

Nothing compares your presence is worth more

Now I know

Strip it away

Nothing compares I’d lose it all to gain everything
