Escaping the Darkness

Lying down, the ears are intentionally behind the eyes
My tears make me deaf and blind
And the world falls back, into my mind

I loved dreaming until I couldn't escape daybreak
Now I wish for a dreamless night
No thrashing and turning from the internal fight

And when I wake I stare ahead in sadness
There is no way to escape the madness
just a way to stand up to it and fight it

I started at the top of a mountain
curious, tempted, wandering
Ended up in a dreary valley
wounded, bruised and broken

And when the epic battle slows enough to breathe
My dreams will reflect the skirmish won
Beneath the stars and within the Son

I started at the top of a mountain
curious, tempted, wandering
Ended up in a dreary valley
wounded, bruised and broken
I'm climbing back up the steep side, step by step
holding Your hand, smiling, for dear life

The fog clears, the deafening sounds subside
and I wait, for his weapons will be stronger next time
