we have been running away - we have been hiding - we have been making mistakes - and then denying - all of the things that make us who we are - fallen from grace and yet restored - we have been giving our time - to all the wrong things - we have been saving our cash - and yet not helping - all of the ones we call our neighbors - everyone you said to love - afraid of being hurt - we only give until it costs us something - so they won't see the worst - we tell ourselves it's better - they see nothing - but we diminish everything you are - by hiding out inside ourselves - we need - to return - to return to you - we are a body in debt - and need of healing - we need a light upon all - we've been concealing - nothing is whole without it's pieces - bearing the burden all as one // we are unwilling - and we are cold - for fear the darkness - will be exposed - but if we hold on - to all our secrets - we only forfeit - our chance at freedom
