Drowning in the crowd and lost in the bottle I listen to the people around me, hearing there problems, My life seems so small in this instant I have so little to worry about, Money for my drink the friend next to me.
Only a few things, just one or two but it�s the little things that get to me. My mind is clouded from thoughts and booze, but the drinks seem to bring clarity. I worry about everything and think about nothing, kind of contradicting if you ask me.
The girl, she is on my mind. Not in a wanting way, just there as if I am looking after her. I fear failing, I don�t know why. I don�t even really know her; I just cannot help the thoughts that I should look after her. I know that if I where to ask her or those around me they would say don�t worry she can handle her self but I can not stop from thinking that they are all wrong, she is just as lost as me in the crowed.
I look around for a face I know, some one to look to, and ask what I should do. I find only strange faces, not one a friend, not one person to look to in this time of need. So I order another drink and try to forget that thoughts the flood my mind and keep me from peace.
Why should I care, why should I mind� I just can�t help but think there is more to this then meets eye. I cannot stop the thing in the end.
So I say a pray of protection over my friend, please God look after them and see them safe, I could not stop them from going but I don�t feel at peace. I know you will watch them, and keep them from harm� I could not stop it, but your reach is greater then mine.
This is my prayer before I sleep, lord help keep them safe and let me hear there voice when I wake, safe and sound, not one hair harmed. Safe from that which was only in my head.
Josh
