What Matters 02:45
Show me what matters truly Show me what matters to me

I never even asked you To spare my life I only sat there With open eyes I stared at the door And breathed heavy air While leaning against a sofa I just sat there If i am the salesman Shouldn’t i have asked for my life? I never thought to barter anything For the lives of those with mine I just accepted my fate And said my goodbyes in my mind To the world I had a loved And the family that I'd made God forgive me Of the sins i cannot see I try my best To rid myself of me But it’s hard to rely on you With all my strength Cause I get caught in The being me God I love you God I love you You asked me to consider this Earlier (that day) I did not give it A second thought But despite that I was okay with death Oh I am ready Ready to die If you call me home I’ll say goodbye But if I must With myself unburied I’ll leave myself behind

Active Alert 04:05
False threat of death tries scare me looks me in the eyes but I don't go away Thoughts of love come to my mind Familial and other I send my father three words And think over in peace how can i walk away from this after at peace at what might seem to me to be a horrible thought is it right to just move on? Leave it behind I guess the only thing of value in my life is not mere existence can't believe life is as important as I want to living right maybe that's the answer only time i felt peace was in my resignation not being led around by my own will not longing for something else but just being right where I am I think that's what matters what else could?

I am the salesman yet I never asked for anything from you this time I just sat there and I accepted your price I think it is time for the salesman to retire I was the salesman I'll ask you for one thing more and then for another time after time but not this time I'm not the salesman I'll be content with today I'll take what you give me Thank you

Unravel me again I tried my best and it was not enough but i had stepped back and accepted that things would happen Unravel me again you stepped forward you gave me what I needed Unravel me again I acknowledged I had to try but I knew I couldnt do it by my own strenght It was worth a shot asking for help but the only help I needed was prayer Unravel me again and wrap me in your love Unravel me again and warm me in your arms Unravel me again I get caught up in myself
