Daughter - Conveyer

I hate feeling so alone, I hate feeling

I hate feeling like I don’t have a home

You came and went and took a piece of me

When all I ever wanted was to rest in peace

Being left alone, having room to breathe

Exhausted and waiting for my turn to speak

I need to get this off my chest

I need to gain some self-respect

I need to listen to my friends

I need to learn to love like Him

This weight on my conscience has left me self-conscious

I don’t want to go through this again

I just want to get used to the silence

Stop acting like I’ve been dealt by a bad hand

No more longing for her love in my bloodstream

I swear I’ll never place my faith there again

I’m giving this to the cross for the last time

For some apparent peace of mind that I can’t find

You’re still the only thing I see when I sleep

You’re still the only thing I pray I can keep

But now I see, you’re not a thing

Not designed to belong to me

To medicate my uncertainty

You’re made to fill empty graves with her love

Remind His daughters that His heart is enough

I’m alright with the exile I face

I’ll be fine as I bathe in His grace

Drifting apart has our yearning is severed

But when I dream we both pray together
