I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heaven's arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began
And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin
Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Dear Agony
Breaking Benjamin
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heaven's arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began
And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin
Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way it's got to be?
Dear Agony
Breaking Benjamin
These are the first few lines and the chorus from one of my favorite songs "Dear Agony." You might be thinking how dark and depressing the lyrics are... I guess that depends on your perspective. As for myself, having the big picture perspective, I find it somewhat inspirational. What you may not know is the singer/songwriter Benjamin Burnley has admitted that this album is the first one he has written sober. It's definately their most successful album. Having personal experience with addiction, I can relate. The bible calls us to be "sober minded." When you are not sober you do not make good decisions period. As for the lyrics in general I could see them as a cry for help. I personally know people like this (even Christians) and I know you do too. They believe they "have nothing left to give." They believe it's time for God to "carry me to heavens' arms." I just want to shout it's not over! If you are still breathing then God still has a plan for you! Keep fighting, preaching, teaching, ministering, and mentoring till the end, the real end! Your last breath!
