THE INSANITY THREAD

Casting Crowns 🥹
Considering I Love Lucy GIF
 
🎶 She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

She is trying
But the canyon's ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She's another two years older
And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see
Or does anybody even know
She's going down today?

Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope
That's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day

And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see
Or does anybody even know
She's going down today?

Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Can anybody see?

If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can't see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her (never even met her)
Never even met her

Does anybody hear her?
Does anybody see
Or does anybody even know
She's going down today?

Under the shadow of our steeple (shadow of our steeple)
With all the lost and lonely people (lost and lonely people)
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her?
Does anybody see?

He is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction 🎶
 
🎶 Is there anyone that fails?
Is there anyone that falls?
Am I the only one in church today
Feeling so small?
'Cause when I take a look around
Everybody seems so strong
I know they'll soon discover
That I don't belong

So I tuck it all away like everything's okay
If I make 'em all believe it
Maybe I'll believe it, too
So with a painted grin
I play the part again
So everyone will see me
The way that I see them

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
The smiles to hide our pain?

But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On our stained-glass masquerade

Is there anyone who's been there?
Are there any hands who raise?
Am I the only one who's traded
In the altar for a stage?

The performance is convincing
And we know every line by heart
Only when no one is watching
Can we really fall apart

Or would it set me free
If I dared to let you see
The truth behind the person
That you imagine me to be?

Or would your arms be open?
Or would you walk away?
Or would the love of Jesus
Be enough to make you stay?

Are we happy plastic people
Under shiny plastic steeples
With walls around our weakness
The smiles to hide our pain?

But if the invitation's open
To every heart that has been broken
Maybe then we close the curtain
On the stained-glass masquerade 🎶
