Can’t get away from You,
Can’t escape my hardwiring
My misfiring of this passion—
My lack of compassion—
My part in this passion
Its up for sale the fire of the
Past—old wood underneath
Me, old good I used to do,
All bad I wanted to forget—
I recollect the regret, the endless
Revisions of those decisions that
Have led me to You—
Train by the tracks, by the paths
Of those late nights, risking it all
For a stick of gum, refusing to live
Numb, alive and alone in that basement
Place, rolled away was the stone on
Repeat without it I couldn’t sleep—
For the resurrection has haunted me
All of my days—
This pursuit has not stopped,
Your love has not let up,
Darkness is fed up inside of my
Soul now
Its revival we say,
Its power we pray
But it’s love that will stay—
Hardwired for pleasure,
In this bloodstream isn’t a
Slipstream of You, for I am
Found weighed heavy
On gold while growing old—
Age is the battle now, will
Wisdom follow the path I
Hallow? In me sits glory,
Better that I leave is what You
Once said, written in red,
Hardwires are crossed—choose
Fear or choose the Cross,
Choose love or choose a life
Of loss—never satisfied until all
Is fulfilled in the book of truth—
Our lives should be proof that
You are alive—
Ruined now to never live for
Anything less than all that You
Have for us
