BEFORE YOU CAME

Before you came
I was in limbo, I was a wreck
Before you came
Kept my intensity fully in check
Before you came
Had my eyes peeled to the bone
Before you came
I was naked in a casket of stone
But then you came
To your senses- just in time to see the signs
And then you came
Out of that closet of dreams
To wake up and justify the means
And I keep my feet on the ground so I can feel you coming now.

Before you came,
I was so lost, so unaware
Before you came
I'd stopped living and didn't even care
Before you came
My spirit was dead, my flesh unwilling
Before you came
My heart was an empty cup in need of filling
But then you came
And you rescued me from myself
Like poverty changed into wealth
And so you came
Entered my sickness without reservation
My vacancy sign left you no hesitation
And I keep my feet on the ground so I can feel you coming now.

Before you came
I was always walking on broken glass
Before you came
I was just a piece of trash between her legs
But then you came
Realization shining clear and warm
And out you came
In one single moment I was reborn
And I keep my feet on the ground so I can feel you coming now-
I keep my feet on the ground so I can feel you coming now.
