Nine Lashes Break The World
You'd never know this was an empty smile
But then my days have felt like this for quite a while
But no one seems to see it,
It's like the whole world just keeps passing me by, by and by
I'm trying every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear and
All these lies, that whisper and won't go away
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day,
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold,
It's crying out to be the end of me,
But I can't hear the sound
A thousand days fell here in black and white
Longing looking hoping for the morning light
I know it's got to be there
I'm just waiting for the glorious sign
By and by
I'm trying every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear and
All these lies, that whisper and won't go away
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day,
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold,
It's crying out to be the end of me,
But I can't hear the sound
These voices choke away the light
And they infect me with their lies
They try to take away my life
They give me one way out
Out through my Christ, the light of the sky
You've washed them away and now you've given me life
You've shown me the reason
The story in the night
I'm so undeserving now I don't have to hide
Break the world I know
I fear I'll never see the light of day,
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold,
It's crying out to be the end of me,
But I can't hear the sound
