8 Forever.

One day I took a break/
Looking down, I followed doubt/
Got close enough to hear what it was trying to say/
Crystal clear/
Whispering stay around/
Wait on today, wish for tomorrow/
That was gospel to my faith/
Made me slip into change/
Help me escape from the now/
Until later came, and I stumbled in the dirt and saw my face in the ground/
Found a crown made of clay/
Forever ruling over hatred/
Blanketed the makeshift you, when you were naked/
Out in your youth/
Used to eluding the truth/
Gave wounds and bruises that sustain, just so you know that you can make it/
Don't know what future hands hold, so I plan to take it in my own/
Digging for gold at the cape of my soul/
Hoping it glows when I show up to the gates it escaped/
In days of old/
Thanks to grace it'll be great to behold/
Be whole again/
Be eight forever/
Never away/
Better days just a pace from pleasure/
Treasure the chase/
Erase pressure with each breath I take/
Memories fester in due time/
Dueling fate until I scribe my last letter/
And it's sent off to the sky/
Sometimes I wonder why I found myself, way at the bottom/
Where autumn blossoms/
Thought I heard it's only lonely at the top of the world/
Word to Ma they got em'/
Often was the frolic I'd see/
The opposite of what it offered to me, it seemed/
Heart hard as a rock bought on streets, causing callused feet/
Halting freedom/
Stopping us from where we needed to be/
Replaced stars with the coffin in which they see me asleep in/
Dreamin' of peace being within our reach/
Talking to wind, walking slow/
Witnessed the death of an ego/
Sun setting over a setting meant for someone who believes more than me/
Words I sketch green the earth with a placebo effect/
Reject evil until it's deeper than Elounda in Crete/
Glad I got up under the rut that I was stuck in between/
Knocked the rust off my kicks at the cuff of my jeans/
Polishes my wings/
Watched as problems receded/
Via the deeds of Jesus that day He died on calvary/
Broke free from deceit/
And apprehended my conscience/
Lifted weight off my mind, so I can ascend above the nonsense/
The promise I keep, is as the promise that was kept/
Forever recollect the knowledge that a father should never forget/

There are some great lines in there its just too difficult to read, you need to break it up into verses or something, at least put some distance between some of the thoughts, I mean spaces. I like that line about the sun setting, the placebo effect phrase is good, some great ones, just hard on the eyes.
