Draw Me - Pigeon John

You’re just a mirror in my life

And I’m embarassed to look, cause I’m not living right

And I’m not living wrong, just kinda in the middle

I’m caught up in my own self, man made riddle

And I wanna live the life

But I’m just a shadow in the light

Hidin' in the trenches in the midst of a fight

Like a little boy scared

A little boy ill prepared

Raised by women and left in the lion’s lair

And the hair stands on my back

Cause I know exactly what I lack

And the pack draws near to its prey

You seem far away, like the sun

Deciding not to come out today

Draw me closer to you, ooh draw me closer today (God, dear God)

You seem so far away (far away), guide me along today

I’ve seen the movies and read books about you

But I still feel alone and often doubt you

Cause people die young, most got cut short

Girls molested before the first book report

I saw my first porn magazine when I was eight

Contorted my view of women before my first date

And it’s in every state, every country of late

No matter where you go, we all taste the same fate

Slated from failure, slated for jail

Hell is waiting outside of 7−11 waiting to trail ya —

Home, I need a real home to rest

Cause I’m sick of slipping in the darkness

Getting closer to God, in a tight situation

Todays anew

But my habits draw me to walk away from You

And it’s so dang hard, all these girls

And all these cars, all these bars, and all these stars

And we all caught up

And I was brought up to be harder than that

I was brought up to not fall for the same trap

And I wanna live realer than death

Realer than the first man when he received Your breath

Draw me close Lord

(Hook)

Everyday I rise

And I wait to see

Your hand guiding me

Why do I make it so hard?
