I have lost my joy
Somewhere amidst this empty wandering it slipped between my fingers
I need it back, I can't live this way
This desert has stripped me of my desire to smile
I want so badly to bask in your love and rest in your arms
I stand upon your truth but that doesn't feel like enough right now
Where did I let this feeling inside of me go?
I don't know when I resigned myself to just living but I wish I could take that decision back
I crave something more but these empty commitments take me nowhere
These words are so empty and meaningless without you
Every encouragement and prayer just echos in this empty heart
I can't keep doing this
Just take me back to the place where I let it go
Let me search the ground in search of what has been lost
I am searching the dirt for something lost and broken
This mud is caked beneath my fingers as my hands come up empty
I am fading into myself, I see but a shadow of myself

"You took it with you when you left
These scars are just a trace
Now it wanders lost and wounded
This heart that I misplaced"
