Nothing

The wind is fierce, it hit’s the battle of the pedestal you’ve put me on.
Vultures sneer, my arms ache holding back the wall of darkness of the setting sun.

Memories swirl and icy breath behind us, they will always find us waiting still.
My view is wide, I’d rather lessen it to find my place in it, I never will.

Thunder, lightning striking, giving me permission to let go of suspicion slowly.
Still the height is blinding and I am not finding a way to descend to lowly.

And I keep waiting for you to take it, take the piece I’m giving.
I keep praying you’ll start saying that I can stop believing.

Cause I can see that nothing is all I’m ever going to get from you.
And I keep holding on cause I guess I haven’t built up the strength yet
To go.

Just hold me as me, look close and see how far I’ve pressed to keep the sky from falling.
I am only so strong, I don’t know for how long I can quiet my heart calling.

And I keep waiting for you to take it, take the piece I’m giving.
I keep praying you’ll start saying that I can stop believing.

That I can see that nothing is all I’m ever going to get from you.
And I keep holding on cause I guess I haven’t built up the strength yet
To go.

I love you more than you realize.  Behind my pretty eyes I wait and watch.
Wait for more than this inadequacy.  I am not worthy of what you brought.

You pray and cry and martyr and I hold you harder, trying to be what you need.
With you came the Spirit, I know I can hear it but I cannot make you bleed.

And I’ll keep waiting for you to take it, take the piece I’m giving.
I keep praying you’ll start saying that I can stop believing.

I keep waiting for you to take it, take the piece I’m giving.
I keep praying you’ll start saying that I can stop believing….
