For the Broken

Part 1

Gone, I’ve vanished

Shadows, desolate and bitter

White smoke numbs the cry

But the tears that run down my face

Are hotter than any flame

Pictures of her haunt me

Guns and grenades didn’t aid

I’ve run from one side of the game to the other

No forgetting

The ache in my chest

Seems to take hold of my mind

My every thought

I wish desperately for Novocain

To take hold of my mind

To help me forget

Part 2

I see you

Oh desperate one

Reach for me

I’ll pull you out of the hole you think you’ve dug

Not an angel but a human being

Beating heart in rhythm to the sting you suffer

Take a bough

Run no more

No Novocain

What you seek

You will find

In the arms of the Lord
