His name,
The refusal of speaking his name
Lead me to where i am today
If fills me with unspeakable shame
And now i experience my heart's delay
It yields to be opened to him
And stumbles when trying to get there
Light from the skies starts to dim
This story imprinted, i feel i must share
I speak of the truth when i say
That i was placed in a standstill
Motionless from fear everyday
I drag my feet up this hill
His voice,
Never hearing his voice through the hours
Detached myself from the rest of life
I'm gaining speed, but i'm losing power
I've never been put through this much strife
Serene pictures flash through my mind
Each time that his name is said
And this gutless disposition, it's divine
The outer skin on me, i'd like to shed
Distinction from the rest of the crowd
With an attitude that shows self-possession
I'd like to speak of this aloud
And let them feel the sensation
His eyes,
Never looking into his eyes for
More than what was capable
I plead, for there has to be more
That can keep me stable
In an instant it all disappears
Delusion replaces what was there
I've held back so many of my tears
Now each one is released with such care
What inches me on, is the feeling of dismay
It searches for a solution, not someone to blame
In hopes that maybe today will be the day
In which i am able to speak his name


 "It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
it's my mouth that pushes out this breath..."-FTE
