He was a raging hurricane
Gone as swiftly as he came
Leaving nothing but debris
And shattered hearts.

“Shattered” – Trading Yesterday

Yesterday I died, tomorrow’s bleeding.
Fall into your sunlight.
The future’s open wide, beyond believing.
To know why, hope dies.
Losing what was found, a world so hollow.
Suspended in a compromise.
The silence of this sound, is soon to follow.
Somehow, sundown.

And finding answers.
Is forgetting all of the questions we called home.
Passing the graves of the unknown.

As reason clouds my eyes, with splendor fading.
Illusions of the sunlight.
And a reflection of a lie, will keep me waiting.
With love gone, for so long.

And this day’s ending.
Is the proof of time killing, all the faith I know.
Knowing that faith, is all I hold.

And I’ve lost who I am, and I can’t understand.
Why my heart is so broken, rejecting your love,

without, love gone wrong, lifeless words carry on.
But I know, all I know, is that the end’s beginning.
Who I am from the start, take me home to my heart.
Let me go and I will run, I will not be silent.
All this time spent in vain, wasted years, wasted gain.
All is lost, hope remains, and this war’s not over.
There’s a light, there’s the sun, taking all shattered ones.
To the place we belong, and his love will conquer all. [x2]

Yesterday I died, tomorrow’s bleeding.
Fall into your sunlight.

People will hurt us.
Loved ones will leave us.
The world will disappoint.

We will fail.
We will make mistakes.
Things will fall out of place.

Life would be dim.
It would feel dreary.
Is there any hope?

Yes, there is.
