Sharks

This is not as good as Weekend Blues, but here it is. I’m not sure if I will keep the chorus all five times, because that is a lot of chorus, but, for now, that is how it is staying. I probably won’t actually get it produced until I’m 47 anyways. The chorus is pretty good, though, in my opinion. The rest I feel could be better.

My thoughts were racing

I couldn’t focus on what anyone was saying

So I asked You to bring order to the chaos

And tell my thoughts to lay off

When my thoughts began to dwell

You didn’t seem to offer any help

You gave me a pull

I had no clue what to do, but my heart was full

Hollow and empty, you can see it in my eyes

Holding onto my last hope as I’m trying not to cry

I feel hurt and forsaken

For how long it’s taken

To get an answer to this question

That You put in my mind

God, can You hear me? You’ve left me in the dark

I don’t know how much longer I can last in this swimming pool of sharks

My thoughts increased

They attacked me like some savage beast

So I followed where I knew You were leading

Without knowing Your meaning

I found what You wanted to transpire

And now it’s my one desire

To get back to that moment

And learn what You would like to have happen

Hollow and empty, you can see it in my eyes

Holding onto my last hope as I’m trying not to cry

I feel hurt and forsaken

For how long it’s taken

To get an answer to this question

That You put in my mind

God, can You hear me? You’ve left me in the dark

I don’t know how much longer I can last in this swimming pool of sharks

My thoughts still wander

And oft I think about her

I wonder why You had us meet

It wasn’t chance, and yet I can’t seem to see what You want it to be

The longer I wait for her letter

My head grows further from better

Is she a friend?

Or was it nothing that’s messing with my head?

Hollow and empty, you can see it in my eyes

Holding onto my last hope as I’m trying not to cry

I feel hurt and forsaken

For how long it’s taken

To get an answer to this question

That You put in my mind

God, can You hear me? You’ve left me in the dark

I don’t know how much longer I can last in this swimming pool of sharks

I prayed long and hard to find her again

Then I did, just as I asked for it to happen

I followed Your lead

I listened to what You were telling me

I followed Your call

But now I feel like I’ve lost it all

Did You send her to me to take her away?

I’m trying to stay hopeful, but I’m losing faith

Hollow and empty, you can see it in my eyes

Holding onto my last hope as I’m trying not to cry

I feel hurt and forsaken

For how long it’s taken

To get an answer to this question

That You put in my mind

God, can You hear me? You’ve left me in the dark

I don’t know how much longer I can last in this swimming pool of sharks

I have lost all focus

Every second is hoping

My prayer has been answered

That I got a letter

That I know why You sent her

That I’ll see Your will better

But I’m left feeling blind

Feeling alone with all this conflict inside

Hollow and empty, you can see it in my eyes

Holding onto my last hope as I’m trying not to cry

I feel hurt and forsaken

For how long it’s taken

To get an answer to this question

That You put in my mind

God, can You hear me? You’ve left me in the dark

I don’t know how much longer I can last in this swimming pool of sharks
