Eyes Wide Open

I've been walking 
With my eyes closed
Down a path 
That I don't know


Faith is what I needed
Something I couldn't remember
I had shoved it away so long ago


So I started walking 
With my eyes closed
Down a path
That I didn't know


I was afraid to fail
Like so many times before
And add more regrets to the load


But I started walking 
With my eyes closed 
Down a path 
That I didn't know


I don't want to be alone anymore
And you seem to know
Offering your hand for me to hold


My eyes are wide open
We both take a step
Down a path
That I'm starting to call home

Salvation

You tell me everything will be alright

I don't believe you anymore

Bitterness crawls through my veins

As you tell me to have faith

Believe in God's grace

My faith was buried

Six feet deep

On a Wednesday in September

I laid it down beside him

And watched with apathy

As dirt swallowed both of them silently
