Have you ever felt like me before
Lying in the darkness collapsed upon the floor
The light escapes my reality
Isolated
I can never let them see me
Tempted
To end it all
Tempting
The greatest fall
Doubting
I'm full of fear
Terrified
The end is near
Don't give up on yourself tonight
The struggle's real
You've got to fight
The light is there
Hidden inside
Calling out keep me alive
Keep me alive
I hear your voice calling out to me
Reminding me of what I am and what you truly see
I'm valuable loved and part of you
This will pass
I'm never stuck
I need to see the truth
This will not last
Light will flood in
Not doomed for all time
I'll be happy again
I can't pass on my pain
With words left unsaid
To those who still love me
I can't speak when I'm dead
Don't give up on yourself tonight
The struggle's real
You have got to fight
The light is there
Hidden inside
Calling out keep me alive
Keep me alive
You are loved
You are valued
You are not stuck here to face this alone
What seems hopeless now is only a fragment of the whole picture
You are not abandoned
You are not alone
Trust in the only one who can save you
From this pain
From this burden
From this weight bearing down on you
I promise you
Jesus can lift this from you
Even if all you can do is cry out His name
He is faithful to answer your call
He is faithful to lift this up from your shoulders like the cross He bore for you
He will not let go of your hand or your heart
He will never leave your side
He is the strength you need to carry on
He will be your shield against the attacks on your mind and your soul
He will be your shelter
Your fortress
Your sanctuary
Protect you from the darkness
The strength you need to harness
The source of all light and hope
To renew your mind
Your heart
Your soul
Call out to Him
He is waiting with arms wide open
To carry you, His beloved child
Into all you were meant to be
He will help you see
The beauty
That you are deep inside
Shed the outer shell of pain and suffering
Be free loved one
Be free

David Pataconi Tucson, Arizona
Evocative music for the nostalgic future. Uplifting Industrial and Synthwave. Armed with infectious vocal hooks and nostalgic synthesizers, my intent is to reinvigorate those who are hurting, and to incite hope and joy into the heart of each listener. Each soundscape is meticulously processed through musical atmospheres and emotionally-charged lyrical outcries of joy, sorrow, and hope in Christ. ... more
David Pataconi recommends:
Easily the best post-industrial album of the year. A dark fantasy of beauty and terror, this is storytelling at its best, enhanced by cinematic atmospheres and ambient industrial soundscapes.
