Let go.

You throw yourself against the wall,
And wonder why it doesn't help,
You say it's better than what I did,
But you're still hurting yourself,
I used to let out my own blood,
Instead of my held back tears,
Don't you see that you are doing,
The very thing that you once feared?
You say that you're not suicidal,
So very unlike me,
Smash your hand against the wall,
No harm done, you see?...

This anger you hold,
Is dissolving your soul,
Now it's time to let go,
You're so angry inside,
Just close your eyes,
And let go...

I was so afraid for you,
You were starving yourself,
I thought there was nothing I could do,
You wouldn't accept my help,
You don't know how it hurts me,
When you refuse to trust me,
Unknowingly betray me,
When you refuse to let me see,
But I've seen you change,
I know you're frightened,
But you can stay the same now because,
You're grip on reality finally tightened...

This numbness you hold,
Is dissolving your soul,
Now it's time to let go,
You're so numb inside,
Just close your eyes,
And let go...

I wanted to die,
I thought I was pointless,
I drew on my wrists,
Told myself I was useless,
I would never amount to anything,
Until I finally opened my eyes,
Now I can finally see,
I was being chained with lies,
The demons are gone now,
I cried out to God,
Jesus showed me how,
To let out tears instead of blood...

I know I helped you get to,
This place you don't want to be,
I don't blame you now,
For not trusting yourself to listen to me,
But can't you see that I've been changed,
And that I am no longer the same,
Didn't you see me conquer my pain?
You're ignoring me now and it's driving me insane!

This pain you hold,
Is dissolving your soul,
Now it's time to let go,
You're so hurting inside,
Just close your eyes,
And let go...

Let your emotions show,
Then let them go,
Let your tears flow,
Then let the world know,
You will not be chained down,
Your spirit won't be drowned,
You've learned to let go,
Just take it slow,
You can start living now,
Just let go...

The power of God.

I renounce the calling
Of pain and blood
All in the name
Of the Living God
Demons leave me
You I no longer fear
Jesus set me free
My heart is now clear
With the pain I'm through
I no longer want you

These shattered dreams
Are no longer sharp
These silent screams
Finally pierced the dark
These held back tears
Now flow freely
These hidden fears
Are now brought healing
Tears replace blood
By the power of God

For these chains to break
I've waited so long
Now finally they've made
God's loving, merciful crown
I refuse to go back
To that horrible sin
When Satan attacks
I can find peace within
I've found Jesus again
This pain will end

I thought I needed you
But it was a lie
I was numb and confused
I closed my eyes
I felt so weak
Lost inside myself
The future was bleak
I refused to get help
But I cried and I prayed
And God showed me the way
