You've grown weary from the long days.
Staying busy to keep the memory of love away.
You've been hurt and broken by things you once saw.
To save your peace you started to pray and withdraw.
This was the first step in taking back control.
You've started to heal your soul.
Leary from the songs of love and loss you've been hearing.
Burdened by looking in the past, you're wanting God to do the steering.
After the sun sets, darkness would hide that you were sitting between lies and regrets.
You sat in the dark scrolling through your phone.
Wondering how you can be surrounded but feel so alone.
In a tower filled with the pains of the past.
Snakes hiding in the grass.
Walking through halls of broken glass.
An intolerance for life that fits like a glove.
Hidden enemies breathing a fog meant to poison an offer of unconditional love.
Whispers behind closed doors are intended to fill you with doubt and create internal wars.
You've been dreading the lonely nights.
But your dreams have been guiding you toward the light.
Beyond midnight is when you let me into your heart.
A few hours of peace where no one can keep us apart.
Morning comes with a change in view to the connection.
Wondering why you've been reluctant to offer affection.
The sun crawls slowly across the horizon as the days repeat.
As night falls, the darkness seeks to pull you again into defeat.
You find yourself again in the tower of pain.
Walking a tightrope hoping for balance to remain.
You sit surrounded by people you thought were your friends.
In the back of your mind you know it will soon all come to an end.
A message.
What once was just whispers in the dark becomes clear.
You realize the bitter truth.
Decoding lies serves as the start of releasing all your burdens and fear.
Taking inventory of the circumstances in your life.
You now see the shadows in the corner that wanted to keep you under the edge of a knife. To manipulate your fortune and control you with deceptions and strife.
A twisted obsession.
Years of avoiding detection.
The constant intention to prevent you from receiving genuine affection.
An unholy transgression against divine introspection.
Keeping you in permanent suspension.
Seeing you as nothing more than a resource and possession.
Blocking a love that saw you as pure perfection.
The truth brings a swift light and clarity, piercing the veil over your eyes.
God placed a torch in your hand, telling you to step into your power.
It's now time for you to fight, to create a spark that causes your enemies to cower.
In that instant, you say, "Fuck it. I'm burning down this tower."
The flames and the light burned long through the night.
No shadows had remained.
Gone was a time of lack, worries, lies, and pain.
You stood amongst the rubble.
Free from a life plagued by troubles.
You survived.
You've done your best.
Now you wondered what could be next.
As the smoke dissipated and cleared, in the distance a familiar silhouette had appeared.
I walk into view.
I've been waiting for the moment when I could begin walking to you.
Unable to speak your truth for so long, it's like your throat was locked.
But you clearly see a love that is no longer blocked.
There's nothing left to go wrong.
Our destiny is now unlocked.
It's been a long time coming that we finally talked.
