The Never Rested

days spent in darkness
 counting the links that failed to bind
 stealing the stones we use to build tomorrow
 driving on to beat the night
 the fruit of my labor shall be sweet
 the sweat of my brow shall wash me clean
 these songs can't last forever
 but we will dance until they end
 sleep comes slow to the never rested
 eyes that know not that embrace
 tired of reaching out and holding on
 tired of the wasted days of
 screaming out to no one
 sick of no one screaming back
 but for all the days that sicken me
 there is no way I'd give them back
 I fall to my knees
 opened palms that face the sky
 I cry out for sweet redemption
 never wanting to ask why
 chorus
 resurrected
 I pray for the strength to face what comes
 the courage to stand as the tears pour
 down my face
 my frustration cannot bind
 I will stand
 till my heart stops and lifeblood fails me
 purified
 by the hope that makes me whole
 resurrected
