Left to Spare

I'm not broken, I'm not paranoid
I'm rising faster than Troy could be destroyed
And I'm holding longer
for that moment to pass
I'm spilling out I'm rising up
I've got permission now to fill my cup
And I'm surging forward
Racing down, I'm in your silence
It does resound
It does resound
Can you hear me - I am here

I'm drowning in delight
I'm choking on this heady air of darkness
As it sparkles and my hope
Is left to spare

I've got this time and I know it's on my side
I hear your words and they oblige
Well I'm sitting pretty but
Scared by the mood
Scorned by deliverance
Coming way too soon, scarred by belligerence
And you're rolling through me
These bloodied wounds of words unfolding now
Words of prey now
How can I pray?
Can you feel me - I am here

I'm drowning in delight
I'm choking on this heady air of darkness
As it sparkles and my hope
Is left to spare
