Quiet Desperation
By Rodney Sleeth
So I am just as lost and afraid as you
In this world I so estranged ita€™s true
Seems I cana€™t come to grips Ia€™m a bird on a wire
Seems Ia€™ve lost my grips with my mis-focused desires
Out of the spotlight and under my skin
Therea€™s a burning force a war within
As I ponder my despair
Ia€™m falling faster to God knows where
Ia€™ve found some comfort in my misery
And Ia€™ve found some solace when I fell to my knees
And in quiet desperation eyes blinded from the a€œknowa€
Ia€™ve found my clouded judgment to be all Ia€™ve known
Out of the spotlight and under my skin
Therea€™s a burning force a war within
As I ponder my despair
Ia€™m falling faster to God knows where
And I know that you are the same as I
Broken spirits yearning to fly
Simply lost our path through the darkness of the soul
Winter storms and aches of growing old
Out of the spotlight and under my skin
Therea€™s a burning force a war within
As I ponder my despair
Ia€™m falling faster to God knows where
