"Permanent Divide"

Oh, it feels like endless night
There's a burning deep inside
It's consuming all of me
Oh, my tongue it feels so dry
Can you hear my constant cries
For my soul to be set free

Help me reach across
I'd die for just one drop
Of Your living water

[chorus]
I'm drowning in the emptiness
I've never known such lonliness
And I'll never see a glint of hope again
Where am I within this sea
Of chaos and desparity
I'm crying out as all is caving in

Oh, I met Love face to face
Before I found this place
Now it feels like just a dream
My nightmares have all grown eyes
And they're eating me alive
There's nothing here to comfort me

[chorus]
I'm drowning in the emptiness
I've never known such lonliness
And I'll never see a glint of hope again
Where am I within this sea
Of chaos and desparity
I'm crying out as all is caving in

[bridge]
And when I stop to think
About Your hands and feet
I wonder why it felt like
They were never reaching out to me
Was it all because of pride
Or were they too preoccupied
With more important things
Than to save a life like me?

I remember the land that I lived in
It felt like hell, but it was closer to heaven
Than I'll ever know

[chorus]
