Iremia

I'm in a state of mental panic
 Relentless thoughts take hold of me
 These possibilities seem so endless
 Yet I'm frozen by anxiety
 Restore the light
 Cast off darkened countenance
 Lift up your eyes
 And soothe your troubled mind
 And all that's trapped inside
 Overwhelming and consuming
 Draining me till I collapse from fright
 Do your hands still guide me
 On this path I've taken...
 Or do I stand alone?!
 Have I been forsaken?
 Detrimental, deprivation,
 Seeking to desensitize
 Choking out the life from our dreams
 No steps are taken
 No progress made
 And I'm paralyzed
 Searching for anything
 To gain momentum
 Restore the light
 Cast off darkened countenance
 Lift up your eyes
 And soothe your troubled mind
 And all that's trapped inside
 Will I find peace amidst this chaos
 Before I sleep beneath the waves?
 Inexplicably I feel the storm calm
 As, once again, I meet your gaze
 Restore the light
 Cast off darkened countenance
 Lift up your eyes
 And soothe your troubled mind
 With my eyes set firmly on you
 I will never sink again!
