Misery

There's a pain that runs so deep
No doctor can make it right
It's hiding in the shadows
Of a heart that's locked up tight

You nurse your cares and worries
Like they're your closest friend
But all they do is eat at you
And bring a bitter end

Bitterness will eat you whole
When you hide it all away
Look inside your heart and see
Those stones that block the way
You think you're standing righteous
But inside you're just a storm
Open up and let Him in
In His light, you'll be reborn

Don't think that you're so holy
When you bury all your fears
Rage and fear just simmering
Claiming godliness in tears

What you keep inside keeps churning
Making a toxic brew
If you let it have its way
It'll make a mess of you

Bitterness will eat you whole
When you hide it all away
Look inside your heart and see
Those stones that block the way
You think you're standing righteous
But inside you're just a storm
Open up and let Him in
In His light, you'll be reborn

So be open to the garbage
That you keep inside
Take it to the Master
In Him you can confide

Bitterness will eat you whole
When you hide it all away
Look inside your heart and see
Those stones that block the way
You think you're standing righteous
But inside you're just a storm
Open up and let Him in
In His light, you'll be reborn

So be open to the garbage
That you keep inside
Take it to the Master
In Him you can confide

Don't let that darkness own you
Let His light be your guide
And with an open heart, you'll find
The peace you need inside
