lyrics
Alone, halfway gone
My fast-beating heart the only sound
As I lay here, Lord I am waiting on your sign
I'm calling out, I've been calling out
In the middle of a dream
Lost, you know I lost myself
In everything, everyone else
I'll dream I'll leave, but I will always stay behind
Bound alone to another's life
In the middle of a dream
Lord?
Where did you go?
I've been callin' out, cryin' out your name!
I'm down in the weeds
Midnight in Gethsemane
And I pray for peace, but peace it never comes
Never comes!
In the middle of a dream
Lord, have you again abandoned me?
Callin' out, I've been callin' out
In the middle of a dream
No…
No one is coming
To save me now, to save me from myself
All alone
As I lay here on the ground
And my beating heart surrenders to you now
In the middle of a dream
Midnight in Gethsemane
I've been callin' out, cryin' out in pain
Down in the weeds
Of these endless fever dreams
When the truth is our salvation lies within
Lies within!
Lies within!
Lies within!
My fast-beating heart the only sound
As I lay here, Lord I am waiting on your sign
I'm calling out, I've been calling out
In the middle of a dream
Lost, you know I lost myself
In everything, everyone else
I'll dream I'll leave, but I will always stay behind
Bound alone to another's life
In the middle of a dream
Lord?
Where did you go?
I've been callin' out, cryin' out your name!
I'm down in the weeds
Midnight in Gethsemane
And I pray for peace, but peace it never comes
Never comes!
In the middle of a dream
Lord, have you again abandoned me?
Callin' out, I've been callin' out
In the middle of a dream
No…
No one is coming
To save me now, to save me from myself
All alone
As I lay here on the ground
And my beating heart surrenders to you now
In the middle of a dream
Midnight in Gethsemane
I've been callin' out, cryin' out in pain
Down in the weeds
Of these endless fever dreams
When the truth is our salvation lies within
Lies within!
Lies within!
Lies within!
