White noise blares from the alarm clock on my nightstand There is safety beneath the layers of blankets That cover me and the hot coils beneath me Out there Beyond cottoned safety, is a world of temperatures too low to bear The kind of cold that latches on and sinks its teeth deep into the melanin Out there is a world that is isolated, with blood spills on floors and on pavement Where hearts become holed as colors fade And where this frame is caught in a lifeless cadence Holding solely on occupation and faith because they're all that remain consistent It's a world of depression and heartache and I'd much rather stay here Safe Protected by this fabric force field from the surrounding winter These days have been a burden These empty rooms howl, crack, and mock my lonely heart And companionship has been limited to one And the wounds they've produced make even that burdensome And this cold Hell feels like it's only just begun The truth of this matter, this pain, and its sums are I'm afflicted Sick of this cyclical situation This vibrant hue has turned to countless broken faces And as every crack progresses, so does the prison that it's making And I still wonder if this caged bird can too–sing Maybe I should let the noise play Become a victim to these walls and freeze away Close my eyes and pray To find home in Zion this day Emmanuel… Emmanuel You will make it good You will make it good You looked into the chaos and spoke Never ran from nor erased it You faced it, head on With hollowed palms Slain as you began to reach into our wrongs I know–you're in the business of redemption So in the midst of this tension, I will trust Because you make all things new And if I can believe anything it's that you've woven me to you And your newness–contagious Your healing turns the pages And works the words of broken chapters into stories for the ages You never said that it would be painless But you will make it–good So I will rise And take my cue from you Reach into the chaos and build something new Author a rising action in the falls that have ensued And look to coming pages as you make these hells untrue This room is still frigid and the heartache still reigns But I can either drown in the rain or fight through this pain So, to Hell with false comfort Rebuild Remain
