much afraid

smashed coconuts, symbolic of the dissolution of the ego/self in Hindu custom

-

Empty again
Sunken down so far
So scared to fall
I might not get up again

So I lay at your feet
All my brokenness
I carry all of my burdens to you

All of these things
I’ve held up in vain
No reason nor rhyme

Just the scars that remain
Of all of these things
I’m so much afraid
Scared out of my mind
By the demons I’ve made
Sweet jesus, you never ever let me go
Oh, sweet jesus, never ever let me go

So happy to love
Yet so far to go
You lead me on to where Ive never been before
