Written by Symon Hajjar

lyrics

I've lost myself
I am the ghost of my intentions to follow through
My every breath feels like the answer to a question
That's outside my point of view

Everywhere that I go
It's like they're telling a joke that I don't understand
If I could just get alone maybe I would give hope a second chance

What I could use is a little bit of good news
A song that rings true and not more stimulation
What I need is a savior that can bleed
Someone who's not using me to gain a little traction
Or cashing in on my reaction

I find no rest among the doubters or the dreamers
Only the fight to get ahead
My innocence is like a flower in the winter
My thoughts are silhouettes

Everywhere that I go it's like I don't really know
If they know who I am
If I could just get alone maybe I would give hope a second chance

What I could use is a little bit of good news
A song that rings true and not more information
What I need is a savior that can bleed
Someone who's not using me to gain a little traction
Or cashing in on my reaction

I long for so much more
Than just religion or ambition or my own way of thinking
I long for what it meant to be a Christian
Before we started selling our convictions

Is anybody ever really listening when they're living off commission
A paycheck can be a handcuff, so be careful what you love
Be careful of the things you won't give up

My music is a mix of hymns, whims, and contemplations that have come to me over the years as I have tried to honestly reflect on my own journey of belief and self realization. I hope that more than a few of them ring true with you too. Enjoy.
