Translucency
[Verse 1]
Translucent life
Made out of glass
Broken within
Nothing will last
Reaching inside
For something to live for
[Verse 2]
Walls caving in
Getting so low
How can they stand
With no cornerstone?
Drowning outside
‘Cause there’s nothing to live for
[Chorus]
Why do you live
Frozen in pain
I’m trying to help you, I’m calling your name
There’s nothing more
Than internal flames
Put them out, put them out
[Verse 3]
Lonely tides
Hitting the shore
A soft beating noise
From your heart
Laughing it off
Pretending you’re okay
[Verse 4]
Slowly but surely
Quiet but clear
You start to wonder
Why am I here?
Faking a smile
Just to get by
[Chorus]
Why do you live
Frozen in pain
I’m trying to help you, I’m calling your name
There’s nothing more
Than internal flames
Put them out, just put them out
[Bridge *Rap*]
In the mess of everything
There’s a future for you
‘Cause you’re beautiful too
And your life is not through
So stop tryin’ to end it
It’s been given to you
Your hope, love, and life is due
To you by the God who sent it
He sent his Son to die for you
On the cross, so you’ll be made anew
Made into someone who is valued too
And loved by people who love you through
You can start your life again
Livin’ without old regrets
You can learn the ways of Christ
Singin’ while you praise your life
Come on

I was inspired to write this song because of some people I knew who were going through rough times in their life.
