Before The Trumpet Sounds

If everything you ever thought was fighting up against the wall

Is that enough to make you fall? Oh

In the middle of the mystery when there's shadows all around me

Will you be the only one I need to know?

I used to talk to myself in the mirror trying to convince myself to press on in spite of the fear

Is the pride that I hold onto part of what's gotten me here

I wish that I could blink and it would all disappear

I've tried to escape all my pain and all my ailments, but if I ever do that, then congratulations

I just gave up on my need to even have a savior

You wanna know where else you see that kind of behavior?

You see it in the rich ruler who couldn't give up what he had but was so foolish
