Yep, a depressing song with many parts, this one I loved playing with a drummer. I really do like this song, I hope you enjoy it to.
Progressive finger-style guitar, with emotional melodies and raw, honest lyrics.
I invite you to amble through my world of raw, emotional and honest song writing.
I hope it might strike a chord in you and be a little more like a flower among the thorns of unsigned amateurs here on SoundClick. Though I indeed am a unsigned amateur myself.
Lyrics
“Where Are You?” John A. Martindale
Intro:
Verse 1(optional):
I feel dominated by mental and spiritual fatigue.
It seems I am a puppet on a string, controlled by how I feel.
It seems so true…
Verse 2:
So Lord how long, will you be silent and turn Your back in my time of need?
Oh, Lord how long must my enemies triumph over me, putting me to shame?
It seems so true…
Chorus 1:
Part of me is starving for You,
Yet what is this part of me that wants to betray you and return to the world’s ways?
These fleshly lust war against my soul
But You are my portion Lord and You are my only Hope
So my heart it trust in You,
For you are my salvation and You will deliver me still
Now my eyes they look to you
For I am in despite need,
Of some lovingkindness, tender mercy, I need compassion, Oh Lord show pity
I need Your lovingkindness, tender mercy, I need compassion, Oh Lord show pity
Bridge:
For I am weak, Lord I am frail,
I want to run out of my skin, my soul it feels so tormented
I cannot trust myself no more
Bridge 2:
You are strong, You endure, You are everything I need
Yes everything I lack, You are,
So where are you?
I cannot find you, I cannot feel You, I cannot hear you, I cannot see You
Where are You?
Chorus 2:
Lord hear me when I come to the end of myself and I scream,
Lord feel me, when I am to miserable to speak
Lord heal me, for these wounds they are so deep
Lord hear me, my cry for grace
Chorus 3:
I need You grace, because of your mercy rain it down
For I want to be, righteous, in my experience
