Torn In Pieces (song #134)

Torn In Pieces

Distance growing
(But) you’re not showing 
Me a way
To get back home

Conscience glowing
I should be knowing
There's a way
To what you know

Still I stand
Still I reach out

Now I’m torn in pieces
Can you hold  me together?
‘Cuz I can’t release this
Feels like I’ve been holding on forever

Missteps owing
The seeds I’ve been sewing
The mistakes
I somehow can’t see

Patience flowing
As doubt’s (been) growing
Are we really
Out of time?

Still I wait
Still I hold on

Now I’m torn in pieces
Can you hold  me together?
‘Cuz I can’t release this
Feels like I’ve been holding on forever

Stake your claim
To all this shame
Lift your eyes up and move on
Touch the flame
Like it’s all the same
Your hands are just as clean as anyone’s.

Still I stand
Still I reach out
Still I wait
Still I hold on

Now I’m torn in pieces
Can you hold  me together?
‘Cuz I can’t release this
Feels like I’ve been holding on forever
