Analysis of Brokenly Saved
Darrell Shook 1978 (North Carolina)
Where do I go from here
Jesus take away my fear
My glass is getting low
Depression filling the silo
Anxiety got me on edge
Pushing me off the ledge
Gotta step back and rewind
The battle with my mind
Demons coming out to play
Corrupting everything I say
Dark thoughts of suicide
Everyone is terrified
Going down this slide
Two trains ready to collide
Nowhere left to hide
Waiting on the upside
All the tears I cried
With everything I tried
Pain is to much to bare
No one really cares
No one in sight
Not worth the fight
Can’t do anything right
Looking for my light
No one saving me now
Does anyone know how
Fake smiles all I see
No vision to set me free
Trapped in this pain
Held down by chains
Crying out what to do
Jesus wept my son I got you
