I Lay on sheets like wax and melt
You are so far you feel no heat
When I see you I see myself
A twisted orphan boy who
has no hope outside your sovereign mercy
I hear your voice far off and I
Think someday I will see your face
I have your word inside my heart
Or so you say but in the darkness all I
have is what you promise
Venite Exaltemus Domino
I walk alone inside my head
I see the world that you have made
You tell me one more time to trust
And if I listen close I’ll
hear the Rocks around me start their singing
