Cold
Make me cold
Like those stone walls
So old
Calm
Make me calm
Like that baby’s hand
Nestled in my palm
Still
Make me still
Just like the winter ocean
..tranquil..
Cry
Don’t make me cry
Like that smoldering rain
Drizzling from red sky
Light
Show me some light
It’s getting dark and i’m tired
Of this internal fight
Sleep
I want to sleep
I have been kept awake
By the torments so deep
Help
I’m asking for help
God, please don’t let my troubles
Lay another whelp
Drown
Don’t let me drown
The fear of invisible demons
Is weighing me down
Drift
Don’t let me drift
Anchor my soul to your path
I feel deprived of this gift..
Joy
Make me feel joy
For what feel like forever
I have always been a toy..
