I Will Always

When the loves I thought were true, divorce me

And when the shadows of death surround and haunt me

I know, I will always have you

When the ones I thought were safe

Abuse me

And when the colors of life all fade

Right from me

When the friends I held so dear

Betray me

And when I'm crying out loud for help

And I can't breathe

It's a battle in my head

To believe I don't need to architect

A fortress full of dogs

A defense that doesn't last at all

It's a funeral of sorts

I die each day for something more

This regenesis in my blood

It's the whispering voice of a holy dove
