I think I have a responsibility in what I say, but just because I have a cool idea about God doesn’t mean it should be preached as truth on Sunday. I’m human and just as messed up as anyone—I just happen to sing louder. Some of the issues I’m wrestling with right now are on this record and others aren’t. Some of your issues may be here and others may not be. My point in all of it is to inspire you to take these issues and wrestle with the Lord yourself. He may or may not answer your question [in this life], but you will be changed.

Sometimes I wish for a life that’s simple
to only have things around that matter
but life keeps moving faster
I’m in a tailspin of complexity
a life and time that doesn’t belong to me
with a heart that bleeds to stop
Written by DeeDee in Poetry
I’ve got nobody to blame;
I’m the fool who dug this hole
and got myself stuck inside
when I’ll get out, who knows?
I keep pretending to be
someone I thought I could make myself into
I thought I would be happy by default
but I just feel insincere
I stare into the mirror
and I don’t recognize me anymore
that girl staring back at me
is not the woman that I wanted to be
she’s an empty shell no one has a use for
Written by DeeDee in Poetry
I wanna stay in the silence
the place where Your presence is found
I wanna hear what you have to say
You deserve my full attention
but I give it all away
the madness of my life
has me going out of my mind
and I don’t know if I can make it through
disgusted with my own imperfection
forgetting to put all of my trust in You
I forget to remember
my life is not mine to live
my whole life belongs only to my Father
I can’t do anything alone but fail
without Your help I shouldn’t even bother
Jesus help me to live for You
to give up the reins and give up my control
I’ll never be able to make it in this world all alone
I need you to be my ever-present light
be my guide on this journey to my eternal home
…seriously.
