Acquiesce - Stavesacre
Even now your eyes are courting sleep
I'll stay by your side as I have always been
Sleep tonight may your dreams reveal my love for you
Beyond what I must do
Do you know my plans for you
To separate myself from where my treasure lies
Then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life
Be stripped away of all delusions of the man
I'd like to be
At the moment
I am broken parts sure
Of only weaknesses with nothing left to show
No illusions left to hide behind
Burning clean has been both agony and absolute release
Can I hope to pass this test
Is my destiny this wilderness
The hardest part of letting go
Is trusting you with everything
In laying bare my soul
Is truly seeing who I really am
Father what is man
That you are mindful of him
Can I pass this test
Is my destiny this wilderness
To stand alone
Against a life of wretchedness
Impossible to hope and so I plead
Your graciousness
Show me your glory
May my life
Reflect your presence
And never again
Find myself in anything less
The hardest part of letting go
Is trusting you with everything
In laying bare my soul
Is truly seeing who I really am
Father what is man
That you are mindful of him
