Pigeon John - Draw Me lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1]

You're just a mirror in my life

And I'm embarassed to look, cause I'm not living right

And I'm not living wrong, just kind of in the middle

I'm caught up in my own self, man made riddle

And I wanna live the life

But I'm just a shadow in the light

Hide in the trenches in the midst of a fight

Like a little boy scared

A little boy ill prepared

Raised by women and left in the lion's lair

And the hair stands on my back

Cause I know exactly what I lack

And the pack draws near to its prey

You seem far away, like the sun

Deciding not to come out today

[Chorus x2]

Call me closer to you, ooh draw me closer today

You seem so far away (far away) God will be along today

[Verse 2]

I've seen the movies and read books about you

But I still feel alone and often doubt you

Cause people die young, most got cut short

Girls molested before the first book report

I saw my first porn magazine when I was eight

Contorted my view of women, before my first date

And into every state, every country of late

No matter where you go, we all chase the same fate

Slated from failure, plated for jail

Hell is waiting, ride inside

Seven-Eleven to trail yeah

Home, I need a real home to rest

Cause I'm sick of slipping in the darkness

[Chorus x2]

Getting closer to God, in a tight situation

[Verse 3]

Todays of new

But my habits draw me to walk away from you

And it's so dang hard, all these girls

And all these cars, all these bars, and all these stars

And we all caught up

And I was brought up to be harder than that

I was brought up to not fall for the same trap

And I wanna live realer than death

Realer than the first man that received your breath

Draw me close Lord

[Hook]

Everyday I rise

And I wait to see

Your hand guiding me

Why do I make it so hard?

[Chorus x2]
