Absent Peace

When Peace can't be found
What is there left
When peace can't be found
Where do I find rest

My mind is racing, my blood rushes fast
My muscles are tense, my heart is downcast

When peace is lost
What hope is near
When peace is lost
What calms my fear

My being is empty, my emotions run out
My vision is fading, my faith turns to doubt

When peace is hiding
Where do I turn
When peace is hiding
How do I endure

My days are black, no stars in my sky
My appetite's lacking, my mouth is run dry

When peace is gone
What is there for me
When peace is gone
How do I still breath

My joy is stolen, my courage depleted
My purpose means nothing, I lay here defeated
Peace was simply all that I needed
