Talk Me Down - Assemblage 23

Calm this raging sea

That churns and boils deep inside of me

Quell the hungry fire

That threatens to engulf me

Love, deliver me

From disastrous sobriety

I have lost my way

And I’m looking for a beacon

Out of fate’s control

As the winds will howl and the waves wills roll

Overwhelming me

In its elemental fury

I’m crashing on your shore

With my arms outstretched and my body worn

I just want relief

Before it overtakes me

Talk me down

I’m on the edge and peering over

Talk me down

I’m up too high and I don’t want to fall

Out from underneath

The tyranny of disbelief

Clear the chaff away

Stir the cobwebs that have gathered

I turn to look around

And you’re shattered lying on the ground

I reach out my hands

To gather up the pieces

Talk me down

I’m on the edge and peering over

Talk me down

I’m up too high and I don’t want to fall

Calm this raging sea

And I’ll carry you as you carried me

Through the hungry fire

Untied, yet entwined

Insecurity

Find another place to sow your seed

All this land is dry

And the soil no longer fertile

Talk me down

I’m on the edge and peering over

Talk me down

I’m up too high and I don’t want to fall
