Flee the scene
Feeling the need to escape or leave a situation.
I don't belong here
Feeling out of place or not fitting in with the current environment or circumstance.
Face to face with my demons
Confronting personal struggles and inner conflicts.
I feel conviction grow
Experiencing a growing sense of guilt or awareness of wrongdoing.
Feeling more and more empty inside
Feeling increasingly hollow or empty inside.
From the very thing that's filled in me
Realizing that something previously fulfilling is now causing emptiness.
How could You love me?
Questioning one's worthiness of love and acceptance.
Run away
Desiring to escape or run away from the current situation or feelings.
Invisible but I know You see me
Feeling unnoticed or unseen despite being aware of being observed.
Run away
Continuing the desire to escape despite predictability.
Predictable but I still don't know what I'm doing
Feeling uncertain about actions despite predictability.
I thought I could do this on my own
Believing in self-sufficiency but realizing the inability to manage alone.
Call me back home
Desiring a return to a place of safety and belonging.
I can taste the water
Sensing a possibility of renewal or spiritual fulfillment.
Fill up my cup
Metaphorically seeking nourishment or fulfillment.
Reflections shown from the outside in
Realizing the need for self-reflection from an external perspective.
I've been broken down
Feeling emotionally and spiritually broken.
Hollowed and beaten
Feeling emotionally drained and defeated.
Lost in the motion
Feeling lost and directionless.
With no will to fight
Lacking the willpower to resist or fight against challenges.
Showing no emotion
Exhibiting emotional numbness or suppression.
Why do I want this life?
Questioning the desire for the current way of life.
Floating in different directions
Feeling pulled in different, conflicting directions.
Call me back home
Desiring a return to a place of safety and belonging (repeated).
I can taste the water
Sensing a possibility of renewal or spiritual fulfillment (repeated).
Fill up my cup
Metaphorically seeking nourishment or fulfillment (repeated).
Call me back home
Desiring a return to a place of safety and belonging (repeated).
I can feel the air
Sensing a renewal or intake of life (air) (repeated).
Enter my lungs
Metaphorically welcoming a revitalizing force or renewal.
Running away is a race you'll never win
Recognizing the futility of running away from problems or challenges.
I can feel the distance grow
Sensing an increasing separation or emotional distance.
My heart begins to race again
Feeling a quickening of emotions or heartbeats.
The lies hidden behind these eyes
Acknowledging the presence of hidden falsehoods or deception within.
Wash me clean from my sin
Seeking cleansing and absolution from sins or wrongdoings.
Make me whiter than snow
Asking for purity and restoration from wrongdoing.
Restore in me Your salvation
Requesting divine intervention and salvation.
I can't do this on my own
Recognizing personal inability and dependence on divine help.
I will praise You forever for what You've done
Committing to eternal gratitude for divine help and intervention.
I will trust in Your good name
Expressing trust and reliance on the goodness of a divine entity (repeated).
(Come home)
Invitation or encouragement to come back home to a place of safety and acceptance.
