Wandered

Ever felt something you can’t express?
Cries that cannot be suppressed
Do you walk through life in a daze?
And try everything that you can chase
Can’t put a finger on your heart?
You and clarity are worlds apart
Nobody helps that’s for sure
Always left wanting more
Dark, dry, caged, or cold
Far from us all
Frought, fear, pride, pain
Life is a strain
Is this just how it feels?
Or is it really how it is?
I’m looking for the truth of this
Where are you God what have I missed
Sad, sick, fake, fool
Far from us all
Hate, hurt, short, stressed
We can’t be blessed
You give the words to understand
Chaos converged in your commands
Why show us how to express our doubts?
Why point our claims to you for blame?

Waiting
04:43

I spend all my time looking for life
They said it would be
out there
“I deserve nothing but happiness”
But these desert days
Leave me dry
I’ve been, I’ve been, I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting
Where are you
I’ve been, I’ve been trying to reason
To be free from
What you put us through
Nothing I have done matters anymore
Everything is just
The same
Even when I think I understand
All this chaos proves
Me wrong
So, where to from here?
I’m lost and lonely
Can’t find my rest
In an eternity of disappointment
So, where to from here?
Can’t see a way out
Can’t find my rest
In an eternity of disappointment
So, where to from here?
I’m done with all this
Can’t find my rest
In an eternity of disappointment

Pointless To Escape
03:35
|

|
I see the cycle of my life
Knowing that
It’s pointless to escape
I could live for countless years
And still not know
What any of it’s for
Am I supposed to feel good about this?
Driven by the things I see
I want to know
How can this be it?
All the things that I enjoy
Feel very small
They fade and disappear
Am I supposed to feel good about this?
What is left that can pass the test?
When everything you are will be dust
Seeking life and meaning
But death is all I can trust
There is no end to all the words
I can’t express
The depths of my despair
No more than a beast
In the end
Both washed away like sand
Am I supposed to feel good about this?
What is left that can pass the test?
When everything you are will be dust
I need life and meaning
But death is all I can trust
I wish that I could run away
And find myself
In a world that I create
It would work as I desire
Instead I wait
For God to set things right

Wisdom
05:14
|

Am I wasting my time being wise?
Is it pointless to try otherwise?
I can’t avoid my death, my demise
I know more and my torment multiplies
Am I wasting my time being wise?
Is it pointless to try otherwise?
I can’t avoid my death, my demise
I know more and my torment multiplies
Trapped in this maze
By the oppression of ignorance
Wisdom holds you
It looks just like deliverance
There is no escape
Every dead end designed to make
You feel so very small
But you cannot take
Hold of your life
Am I wasting my time being wise
I suppose that’s not the point of my life
I just can’t escape my demise
Where is life without compromise
Are you out there? Can you sympathise?
Where can I put down my disguise?

It's All Absurd
03:58
|
|||
|
These are the thoughts
That occupy my soul
As I slave away
For what I can’t control
I play by all the rules
As best as I can
I still can’t predict
If I’ll succeed
I’ll look back on my life
And see my path
All the ways I chose
Won’t keep it straight
These are the thoughts
That occupy my soul
As I slave away
For what I can’t control
What do I have to show
For this exercise
Confusion and fatigue
There’s nothing here
These are the thoughts
That occupy my soul
As I slave away
For what I can’t control
It makes no difference what you do
Whether you get the life you want
Or are left in sleepless fear
It’s all absurd
But there are good things all around
Life continues on and on
You cannot press pause
And stay satisfied
These are the thoughts
That occupy my soul
As I slave away
To find what it’s all for

Follow Him Anyway
04:28

Days turn into years (God sees)
Yet nothing ever changes (God knows)
Years become lifetimes (he is near you)
Forests grow and burn (God sees)
Lakes fill and run dry (God knows)
What can be done? (he is near you)
He knows your cravings
And all your hurts
Follow him anyway
Wanting more and more (God sees)
But never satisfied (God knows)
Round the cycle goes (he is near you)
We cannot know the times (God sees)
And there’s no guarantees (God knows)
Success comes up short (he is near you)
He knows your cravings
And all your hurts
Follow him anyway
He sees your failings
You at your worst
Don’t hide from him
He died to save you
He bore your hurts
Follow him into life
He is one of us
And we are his

Tom Prowse Melbourne, Australia
Thoughtful creativity is my life's work. It is food for the heart, mind and soul. The best art comes from a combination of passion, fun and thoughtfulness. Art that has many layers to uncover over a lifetime of listening and has clearly been birthed out of fun and emotion is a beautiful gift. ... more
