THE PLACE

June 19 2016

TAKE ME BACK... TO THE PLACE WHERE WE WERE

WHERE I WASN'T CONFUSED, WHERE I WAS ALWAYS SO SURE

TO THE TIME IN MY LIFE THAT DIDN'T FEEL STRANGE 

WHERE MY MIND AND MY THOUGHTS DIDN'T FEEL REARRANGED 

TAKE ME BACK... TO THE PLACE WHERE I KNEW

WHO I WAS INSIDE & OUT, WHO I WAS THROUGH & THROUGH

TO THE GIRL NOT AFRAID OF PEOPLE, PLACES OR THINGS

WHO STILL HAD A VOICE, NOW ITS ONLY THERE WHEN SHE SINGS

TAKE ME BACK... TO THE PLACE WHERE I WAS 

WHERE I DIDN'T FEEL PAIN, WHERE IT DOESN'T HURT LIKE IT DOES

TO THE MINUTES & HOURS THAT DIDN'T SLIP BY

WHERE THE TEARS NEVER FELL,WHEN MY EYES DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO CRY

TAKE ME BACK...TO THE PLACE WHERE I FELT WHOLE 

WHERE THE PIECES STILL FIT, WHERE LIFE HADN'T TAKEN ITS TOLL

TO THE DAYS BEFORE NOW THAT I WASN'T SO LOST

WHERE EVERYTHING THAT I WAS HAD NOT BEEN SPENT AT ALL COST

TAKE ME BACK...TO THE PLACE I WISH THE MOST TO BE

WHERE I AWAKE FROM THIS NIGHTMARE, WHERE I AWAKE & IT'S ME

TO A PLACE NOT SO FAR, TO A PLACE I KNOW I BELONG

WHERE UP IS NOT DOWN & WHERE RIGHT CAN NEVER BE WRONG

IF YOU KNOW OF THIS PLACE, COULD YOU SHOW ME THE WAY?

COULD YOU HELP ME BREAK FREE FROM THIS HELL, FROM TODAY?

WOULD YOU CARE JUST ENOUGH, WOULD YOU LEAVE OR CHOOSE TO STAY?

IF YOU CAN'T LEAD ME HOME, I'D UNDERSTAND BUT PLEASE PRAY

PRAY I'M NOT BROKEN, PLEASE, PRAY FOR THE DEVIL TO LEAVE

PRAY IT 'S NOT TOO LATE, PRAY THERE;S ENOUGH TO MAKE ME BELIEVE
