Caving

My life leaks away

Groan by groan.

My years are fading in sighs.

I am growing weary.

I am growing weary.

They want to blot me from their memory

Forget me like a corpse in a grave

Throw me out with the scraps.

Behind doors they plot to ruin me.

And I'll be honest with you

It's caving in on me.

I've been breaking through walls to get free.

Neck deep in this sinking sand.

I will no longer run.

But my trust will remain

it's everlasting.

Your hands hold my days.

But my trust will remain

it's everlasting.

Your hands hold my days.

Embarrass the wicked.

Stand them up.

Leave them shaking their heads

As they drift down to hell

drift down to hell.

Down to hell.

Drift to hell.

Gag the loudmouthed liars

who heckle me

your follower.

Slam the door on those oily

mocking faces.

Silence the venom of gossip.

I cannot go it alone.

The world is caving in on me.

I cannot go it alone.

The world is caving in on me.

I cannot go it alone.

The world is caving in on me.

The world is caving in on me.
