NOW
A gap, an abyss, my spirit amiss
Restraints & controls so tight
So far from your light
The depths above; your fathomless love
An olive branch in the mouth of a dove
The depths below, the hell I know, way down I go
Anchors that keep me where I don't wanna' be
Walls so steep I can't even see
Your breakers & waves have washed over me
Can it be bridged? Can it be broken?
Actions not taken? Curses ill-spoken?
