[ Current ]

Heart of Babel

Wildly transforming

Toss me in the fire

Refine me to the purest

In all that I aspire

Consume me in affection

Permeate desire

Breathing in the life

Of all that I transpire

 

Never giving up

Never backing down

Try to keep my focus

As this world keeps spinning round

Trying not to dizzy

Try to keep the ground

Eyes always searching

So I know what is around

 

But ultimately I

Don’t have much control

Life is always moving

And it never seems to slow

So I try to hold on tight

Because I don’t really know

What will happen the next moment

Just a mystery yet shown

 

Pursuits of my desires

If but only in a dream

Laid my head upon the pillow

But it isn’t what it seems

Lying there, wide awake

Mind like a machine

Churning, burning constantly

Amygdala in me

 

Feeling the emotions

Flooding all the roads

New pathways open up

Which way should I go

Currents pull in all directions

There’s so many rabbit holes

So I focus on the light

And it’s wonderments of hope

 

Capture my attention

Distract me from the pain

Keep me from temptation

Of being led astray

Tired of the letdown

Tired of dismay

But the sun went down and rose again

To show a brighter day

 

Now rising into hope

A smile on my face

Walked through a war zone

And escaped from the disgrace

Now knowing only passion

Joy set ablaze

Learning to stay happy

Because what I have is grace

 

Rejoicing in the presence

Knowing I’m alright

Laid my weapons down

For there’s no reason to fight

Victory, right in hand

Manifest delight

As my burdens shed their weight

To the redemption of my life
