Neck Deep Lyrics by The Living Wells

The Living Wells

2015

[Verse 1: Moshe Friedman]
Oh, how my foes torment me
It feels like the whole entire world's against me
I get no respite in the lonely night
I won't be long till my soul is empty
I'm outrunning the clock before I stumble and rock
There's evil on all sides, got my stomach in knots
Man, I wish that the trouble would stop
No matter where I turn, another stumbling block
I must beware my step, scared to death of the snares they set
The serpent strikes and the lion tears my flesh
Square my chest the best I can but still I'm failing the test
Can you blame me, wanna share my stress?
Do you know what it's like with no rest and no place to hide
On your own face to face with the great divide?
I call out in the darkness so gaping wide
"Won't you please take me home where it's safe inside?"
[Chorus: Moshe Friedman and Rick Fox]
Am I in over my head? ('Cause the water's filling up neck deep)
Tell me that redemption is coming
Daybreak, it seems so far away (I can't eat, I can't sleep)
This is what we're waiting for
[Verse 2: Moshe]
Please deliver me soon, how long will iniquity bloom?
They got me trapped in this rickety room
With locked doors and no windows, my tears soak the pillow
While outside they terrorize the orphan and widow
The cries haunt my dreams, the wicked plot and scheme
I wanna expose them, but I haven't got the means
'Cause they speak with one mouth and two hearts
So I can't tell where the lies end and truth starts
Put my mind in two parts, like a manic
Till I'm the last one left on the planet
Take a breath, this is a test, nothing's random
I'm facing my own demons and they're just a phantom
Though I can't hate the lessons that they came to teach
Like a dog can't blame the leash
I don't know how far my brain can reach until I run out of energy
Who can I trust when I'm my own worst enemy?
[Chorus]
You're what we're waiting for
We hope you come, come today
[Verse 3: Moshe]
I'm as fractured as the broken shard, I don't know where You are
Is my other half close or far?
As fleeting as a passing shade, this life is a masquerade
We can't outlast our days
As lost as a fly in dust, in a great storm rising up
And even though I might die I must
Go on and try to ride the gust
And just when I think that my time is up
That's when I find my trust like a flash of lightning
I see clearly now why it was so worth fighting
I've got the strength to hold on until the dawn
When we'll right the wrongs and all the hatred is gone
It's then I'll know why evil sows its seeds
And the wicked always grow like weeds
It's to know their deeds as they ascend their climb
We'll be overjoyed when they're destroyed until the end of time
[Chorus]
