From the ashes of my life
From the pit of dispair
The burnt out human I've become
I reached out from the shadows
I reached out for something
I crumble into the wind
My end is inevitable
And I feel nothing
I've never seen love not here

I needed
I needed something
I needed to feel your touch

I've been broken and left for dead
I've been lied to I'm so confused
I use to see a light but it was darkened
I had no cause nothing to loose
This fear has swallowed me whole
My emotions were lost

I needed
I needed something
I needed to feel your touch

The whole is widening
The light is dimming
The music is dying
Hold me
Fill me

I wrote this song when I was in a very dark place, I was close to suicide. I was reaching out, my whole life was falling apart. I was crying out and I didn't even know for what. It was God that I had needed.
