Fray

(album: Reaching Hypercritical - 2022)

So take me out of the fray
I tried to climb
I'm used to falling down
Don't turn me away
I feel I'm becoming someone else
So take me out of the fray

A shadow armor that was never there
I'm waiting on a prayer that God will never hear
And I wonder if you were ever there at all
And every memory gone with every day
It's getting hard to see your picture in the frame
But I remember you always felt like home
You always felt like home

So take me out of the fray
I tried to climb
I'm used to falling down
Don't turn me away
I feel I'm becoming someone else
My true colors are bleeding out
So take me out of the fray

I swear I saw you there the other day
My eyes are tired and they keep playing tricks on me
And I wonder if I was ever there at all
And in that video you made for me
I play it on repeat to keep your voice with me
So I remember you always felt like home

God as my witness
You always felt like home
I don't deserve this

So take me out of the fray
I tried to climb
I'm used to falling down
Don't turn me away
I feel I'm becoming someone else
My true colors are bleeding out
So take me out of the fray

I'm trying to find a way to cope
I'm trying to find my way back home
After all this time in the darkness, you're the light
I'm trying to find a way to cope
I'm trying to find my way back home
And after all this time in the darkness, you're the light
I'm trying to find a way to cope
I'm trying to find my way back home
After all this time in the darkness, you're the light

I'm trying to find a way to cope
I'm trying to find my way back home
And after all this time in the darkness, you're the light
(So take me out of the fray)
I'm trying to find a way to cope
I'm trying to find my way back home
And after all this time in the darkness, you're the light
