Sinner

Folder: 
2015

No, it’s not
time yet
time yet
I’m standing
in the corner
of a cloud

 

Waiting in the shadows,
and I’m so tired

 

It’s time to raise my eyes
from the broken ground,
throw my voice
out to the valley

 

It’s time to be a sinner,
raise a storm,
fight the fire
that is me from the inside out

 

Pick up the pieces,
toss them to the side
just tiny reminders of the broken wings
that I spent countless hours repairing
and now I throw them to the wind,
give up my
control

 

It’s time to raise my eyes
from the broken ground,
throw my voice
out to the valley

 

It’s time to be a sinner,
raise a storm,
fight the fire
that is me from the inside out

 

And I do get noticed,
noticed as the wind through the trees,
noticed as the man behind the curtain
while eyes are pinned to the real show

 

Quiet?
You wish I was
quiet
as I leap off the cliff’s edge
The shadows are for you now
and my dust flies in your face
and I’m soaring toward a tomorrow
that I built
all
myself

 

It’s time to raise my eyes
from the broken ground,
throw my voice
out to the valley

 

It’s time to be a sinner,
raise a storm,
fight the fire
that is me from the inside out
