Reduced To Tears

Melt away the sorrows and the corrupted 
lies and flee with me into Joyous Island 
where you and I will flow with the blessed 
breeze – we’ll be happy-go-lucky birds, 
floating in the current of the aqua-blue sky
Daydreamer…darling dream weaver….never 
bid your farewells to your high spirits – you 
will be drenched in sunlit glee in no time, 
baby
Burn away the chaos and commotion…I want 
you to smile wider
I want you to spread your wings like wildfire
You’re my one and only desire…you’re my 
fiery rose
You’re the golden apple to my eye – you are 
precious poetry, not bitter, poorly-structured 
prose 

*Chorus* 
I need you to ascend from your debris – 
let’s dance the night away! We will arise 
from our ashes like a fervent, blazing 
phoenix
Tell me if I’m as handsome as the lion 
that’s graceful, strong and courageous…I 
know for a fact that you are dangerously 
magnificent and gloriously precious
Believe in me…reflect on me…let’s push 
away the worries that want to ruin our night 
spent together…God has two hearts to fix
I love it when you wrap yourself around me 
like my own personal, warm blanket on this 
moon-drenched night – you are so 
gorgeous…so glorious!

You’re weeping me insane…
Refrain from driving me insane…
I lost my train of thought – I was thinking 
positively until I stepped foot into the 
wretched abyss – reduced to tears, feeling 
this overwhelming, stressful distress
Dealing with trauma on a high level – our 
hearts are decaying and lamenting in vain…
Tragedy’s gravity pulls us down in shame 
and anguish – we’re longing for His healing 
rain
The veins in your eyes release bittersweet 
tears…of hopelessness that I shouldn’t 
address
