Break the World - Nine Lashes

You’d never know this was an empty smile

But then my days have felt like this for quite a while

But no one seems to see it

It’s like the whole world just keeps passing me by

By and by

I find every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear and

All these lies that are whispering won’t go away

Break the world I know

I fear I’ll never see the light of day

I need you here and now

Take the pain I hold

It’s crying out to be the end of me

But I can’t hear the sound

A thousand days fell here in black and white

Longing, looking, hoping for the morning light

I know it’s got to be there

I’m just waiting for the glorious sign

By and by

These voices choke away the light

And they infect me with their lies

They try to take away my life

They give their one way out

But I found the Christ, the light in the sky

You’ve washed them away and now you’ve given me life

You’ve shown me the reason

The story in the night

So undeserving now I don’t have to hide
