“Tears Like Sleet”
completed on 12.21.18
i caught up with you
in the middle of your journey
feels like a billion years
as you replay everything in your mind
i can tell by the creases on your brow
there’s some things you need help with right now
everything in life out of tune
your mind spinning like a typhoon
<chorus>
i’ll help you, my friend
lost under the dim light of a pale moon
find the blaze of our bright sun
that lights a new path for you
tears like sleet
while you’re speeding down a dead end
slipping and sliding
about to lose control
you don’t want to reach out
for help, but i’ll grab your hand
and pull you up
be an anchor to help you stand
i’ll throw you a rope
a lifeline to escape
your pain, the weight
of feeling incomplete
<bridge>
to a brand new view
’til you learn to cope
to a brand new hope
away from that tightrope
