DISSONANCE

Nobody was there

Single-wide despair

Dark and lonely nights

Born into the fight

Trapped behind the doors they'd lock

So that they'd never get caught

Pain we should have never known

We were children, all alone

And the shelves were closing in

In my dream in the grocery store

Do You hear me, are You listening

Jesus, please, I can't take any more

My heart is dripping off my sleeve

For how You didn't rescue me

You're my defense

But where've You been?

I'll praise You in the dissonance

When it don't make sense

When I've nothing left

When I wanna end

Yeah I'll praise You then

How much pain can my heart take

Why won't You just let it break

I've begged and pleaded

Relief I've needed

Eli lama sabakthani

To share with You in suffering

And in my weakness

Your strength is perfect

In the dissonance

When it don't make sense

When I've nothing left

When I wanna end

I know I'll see the goodness of the

Lord in the land of the living

All of my history like cassia, sweet

And myrrh descending

Bottle all of my tears

Every time I've cried

It's in Your pages

If it's not now, it's when You'll save me

I sing praises til then in the dissonance

When it don't make sense

When I've nothing left

You are my end

I'll praise You in the dissonance
