“3:33” lyrics

 

333 lyric image Rebekah Gilbert

 

The cold seems to seep in through the windows on this gray winter afternoon

The coffee-colored walls close in as the truth slowly leaks out

Knees hit the floor as the world stops spinning while the minutes tick away

There’s a mountain of questions and a valley of excuses, but no good answer to the question…

“Why?”

Hurt and anger surface, wrestling for prominence

A rush of raw emotions turns to numbness as if from a bitter wind

The silence threatens to suffocate us

Forgetting is not an option, and restoration is a wild card

Forgiveness hangs in the air like a delicate icicle, poised to break or melt

The evening ushers in anxiety and fear–heavy as a blanket of ice

We surrender to the grief of dark and reveal what’s in our hearts

I’ll know more tonight. The dark does that to me: it brings out what’s in my heart.
