Awakened

It's a new dawn
And it's a new you
The wind has ceased
Your palms have creased

Leave the ruins behind
Your empty shell of sin
Rise up with the new dawn
You are no longer bound

Your eyes have fallen
And behold!
Better sight you've been given

This story is not old
This story is not cold
To you it's been revealed
Through you it's being told

Rise out of your ineptitude
Break free of your servitude

Rise up! Start to build
This is a new dawn
And I Am its guide.

The Confession

Staring at the bedroom wall
Thoughts rushing through your head
You say you will review it all
To prepare for the work ahead.

The seconds tic into minutes
The minutes toc into hours
As you desperately try to loot
Missing details since this morning's shower

A silent plea wills itself to sentience
From the very bowels of your pride
Breaking through, is your conscience
Exposing the sins you try to hide

A fire burns within your soul
Consuming your every desire
Let it burn you, once again, whole
Tonight, you're a man on fire.
