Illuminate

dark night

throbbing through blue veins

unknown chemicals, crush of pain

words of warfare hold me in place

secrets lie sleeping

beneath sovereign grace

surrounding ruin

neglected need

my abandoned hope exasperates me

don't touch now my silence cries

dark defeat rains from blue eyes

hungered life 

of shadow and light

love is music out loud

only your love will figure me out

I struggle with faith

survive storms of hate

let light illuminate all I can't say

and lift me up

from this unholy place

I still believe there's more than we see

Illuminate me, illuminate me

from this hungered life of

shadow and light

love is music out loud

so let your love figure me out

So many dark nights, of change and happenstance I could not see my way around and sometimes didn't want to, music was the heal that calmed the rage that wanted to win.
