Heart...beat
Drowns...me
I...can't...breathe
Time...starts
Time...stops
Makes...it hard...to tell
When
I can leave
I can speak
I can be
So relieved
Of my...self
So distraught
Caught and locked
Make it stop
I can't block
Help...me...breathe
Cause I need You
You're...my relief
[Main Chorus]:
I refuse to cry
I refuse to lose and die
I refuse
I refuse
I re...fuse
What life...pins
Lies...and sin
Hate...the way...it wins
Now
I can't sleep
I can't speak
It's so bleak
Bad I seek
You're...Face...now
Shaken down
Stuck and bound
Hear the ground
Loud in sound
Pound for pound
Hear the ground
Crack down, down, down
[Back to Main Chorus]:
But I refuse to cry
Cause I need You
I refuse to die
Because of You
I just have to try
Try
Try to do this right
Or I can say goodbye
I refuse
I refuse
I reefuuuuuussseee!
Because of Yooouuuu!
No I reefuuuussseee
I ree...fuse
As His followers, affliction is guaranteed. Feelings of depression, struggle, pain, and weariness will show. The devil plays on it to render us powerless. We can't let him win! This song is meant to encourage those who are depressed or suicidal to turn to God. To allow Him to help in the challenging journey and give us strength against the battles we face. To fight back when it seems impossible. To show us that we are never alone. That we never were alone.
