Pages filled cover the floor all covered up with ink Words written over coffee document my struggling Those mornings spent sitting alone mourning alone in grief For all I killed in search of honesty
See I used to be a mustard seed shouting at the mountain I used to hang my head when it stayed far from the ocean I used to claim its failure and from the depths of depression I cried to god but god did not respond
Like a barrel chested strongman I suspended disbelief I held it high over my head though all the weight was staggering But legs buckled and muscles burned, in came gravity I dropped it all, faced what I'd been avoiding
For many years I walked that road, for many years I tried So earnestly I sought the relationship advertised But my empty hands, my empty heart, could no longer be denied Yeah I quit, I forfeit eternal life
I did not take inheritance when I left to go away I did what was commanded when that rich man asked to be saved I left my friends my family behind all for heaven's sake I am no prodigal and this is no mistake
So I'm sorry mom I'm sorry dad, I really want you to be proud Don't want to disappoint you all, don't want to let you down But I have stopped searching for truth hiding behind heaven's cloud Don't save my place, of this race I do bow out
