Old Noisy Friend

I woke up sick
Yearning and thirsty
Looking back
Shameful and sorry
For all the lies I’ve once believed

Those days are gone, I know
But still I’m lost, dreadful and bitter

I always thought, prideful but young
I’ll never need love or anyone
Now by myself, I bite my tongue
For all the pain that I have done

I’m some old noisy friend
I wish I was somebody else,
I wish I was somebody else,
I just need some sleep,
Some room to breathe
Do I wish every sins forgiven now

Those days are gone, I know
But still I’m lost, shameful and bitter
Fallen from grace, I’m Babylon
On my knees and outnumbered

I always thought, prideful but young
I’ll never need love or anyone
Now by myself, I bite my tongue
For all the joy I’ve left undone

I’m some old noisy friend
I wish I was somebody else,
I wish I was somebody else,
I just need some sleep,
Some room to breathe
Do I wish every sins forgiven now

I pray for grace to be revealed
For my fearful heart to be set free
From His peace I could be healed
I’m on my knees…
For my fearful heart to be set free
Must believe, must believe

Those days are gone I know,
But still I’m lost, mournful and bitter
For all the tears I’ve fed my soul
On my knees, faded whisper

For enemies who called me brother
And left me on my knees
For every time I failed myself
On my knees, on my knees
For accusers dressed as lovers
Who got me on my knees
For every time I betrayed my vows
On my knees, on my knees

Those days are gone I must believe
On my knees, on my knees
