Show Me How
Quest for Joy: A Soul's Battle Within
Lyrics
I like to think I'm put together
I perceive myself as well-organized
But all my puzzle pieces are untethered
My life is in disarray; my elements lack connection
I'm a statue frozen in December
I feel stagnant and unchanging like a statue in winter
Waiting to melt or be dismembered
Awaiting transformation or potential destruction
'Cause every time I get high I seem to fall low
When I experience highs, I inevitably fall to lows
I get revived then I lay down and die
I go through cycles of revival and despair
Every time I feel happy the feeling's swallowed
Happiness is fleeting and often overshadowed
I bask in joy then it turns out a ploy
What seems like joy sometimes reveals itself as deception
Someone tell me how
Seeking guidance or understanding
To find a joy that lingers
Looking for a lasting joy
Someone show me how
Requesting assistance in overcoming inner struggles
To shake these demon creatures
Desiring help to confront personal demons
I'm at war with myself
Internal conflict and turmoil
Someone show me the answer
Asking for a solution to internal struggles
Do I follow myself or listen to the preacher
Contemplating whether to trust oneself or follow external guidance
I'm lost with a thousand doubts about
Feeling lost and uncertain about identity
Who I am and if I'm devout
Doubting one's sincerity and devotion
Wish I could just be given a sign
Yearning for a clear sign or guidance
If it's truth to follow the divine
Questioning the authenticity of following divine guidance
This is a problem every one of us faces
Recognizing a universal struggle
What's the truth, will any of us taste it
Wondering if anyone will experience the truth
We'll never know until we put our trust in Him
Suggesting trust in a higher power
Even if we do we still have doubts in Him
Even with trust, there's lingering doubt
I never trust myself to make the right decisions
Lack of confidence in personal decision-making
I'll ask God to give me the right vision
Seeking divine guidance for clarity
If I'm real I don't know if I'll have provision
Uncertainty about provision if one stays true to oneself
But faith and trust can remedy my indecision
Belief that faith and trust can resolve indecision
Someone tell me how
Reiteration of the plea for guidance
To find a joy that lingers
Repeating the search for enduring joy
Someone show me how
Reiterating the desire to overcome inner struggles
To shake these demon creatures
Repeating the call for answers to internal conflicts
I'm at war with myself
Reiterating the inner battle
Someone show me the answer
Repeating the plea for a solution
Do I follow myself or listen to the preacher
Revisiting the dilemma of self-trust versus external guidance
Shake these demon creatures
Reiteration of the need to confront inner demons
Listen to the preacher
Repeating the idea of listening to external guidance
Shake these demon creatures
Reiterating the need to confront inner demons
Listen to the preacher
Repeating the idea of listening to external guidance
Someone tell me how
Reiterating the plea for guidance
To find a joy that lingers
Repeating the search for enduring joy
Someone show me how
Reiterating the desire to overcome inner struggles
To shake these demon creatures
Repeating the call for answers to internal conflicts
I'm at war with myself
Reiterating the inner battle
Someone show me the answer
Repeating the plea for a solution
Do I follow myself or listen to the preacher
Revisiting the dilemma of self-trust versus external guidance
