You’ve Been There (feat. Cerebral Malfunction)

Standing alone at the edge of the crowd
I can’t speak up
I can’t make a sound ’cause I’m
Lost in confusion
Lifeless delusion
Noise that surrounds me
I just want to
Stop
But my brain won’t allow me
Loneliness is a veil that surrounds me
I just keep moving on
Life keeps moving on
Now is going, gone
Reset at break of dawn
I can’t help but feel that today’s the same
Same past
Same self
Same faults
Same shame
Never mind the strides I’m making
I can’t look past the walls that I’m breaking
Of course it never changes when I’m looking back
I’ve gotta look ahead to get back on track
Ignoring all the lies told to me
Giving up my life to the One who sees through me

You’ve been there
All my life
Won’t You help me make it through the night
You’ve been my strength
When I can’t fight
But I still can’t see You
Give me sight

You’ve been there
All my life
Won’t You help me make it through the night
You’ve been my strength
When I can’t fight
But I still can’t see You
Give me sight

Lord help me
Lord help me

Glass walls
Inside of a fish tank
Big thanks
To the One who made me
But lately
I’ve been suffering like crazy
Losing my mind a bit more with each new day that’s breaking
Wake me
From this dream I drift in
Save me as temptation slips in
I’m vaguely aware that I’m lost in this
And lying to myself
Saying “I can fix this”
But that’s it
That’s the root of the problem
Caused by my efforts to be God
I fantasize about the strength I want
So stop
Me before I’m gone
And if You have to
The You can slay me
Switch me for a while loop then break me
Shape me. Scrape me
Erase. Rearrange
I place myself with You
Now I feel Your grace

You’ve been there
All my life
Won’t You help me make it through the night
You’ve been my strength
When I can’t fight
But I still can’t see You
Give me sight

You’ve been there
All my life
Won’t You help me make it through the night
You’ve been my strength
When I can’t fight
But I still can’t see You
Give me sight
