Hum Drum

Glum, hum drum, bum...
These are my feelings in sum.
I gave it my best and breathed deep from the chest,
But I feel like I still haven't won.

Desire to be clear is so real...
To live eyes open wide is ideal.
But still satan comes knocking and the lies come a'talkin,
And I'm limp like an old orange peel.

Just yesterday I was aloft...
Like a bird with her wings flying soft.
Oh how quickly the wind tossed me round for a spin,
Now I'm lying here feeling quite off.

Do you know what it means to lose hope?
To see light coming close but say, "Nope!"
I've done it once again, like a silly old hen,
Looking down at the dirt as I poke...

"I was there all along for you dear,
Walked through darkest of night to be near...
I tore open the veil, let the demons asail,
Just so you would know life with no fear."

"Your mind wanders to every last hole,
All your flaws that you wish could just go,
But you see how the light, shines the best through your eyes,
When I'm the only last hope that you know?"

Is it true that there's nothing to hide?
That you've seen all the darkness inside?
And still follow the trail, though its paving is nails,
To propose and to make me your bride?

Haunting voices are finally still,
As I lay here, surrendered my will,
All the fighting's been done, all the wars have been won,
Every empty part now you can fill.
