SHINEDOWN - Save Me

I heard this song on the radio tonight and I thought the lyrics were worth sharing.
(click the title link to hear the song)

I got a candle
And I’ve got a spoon
I live in a hallway with no doors
And no rooms

Under a windowsill
They all were found
A touch of concrete within the doorway
Without a sound

Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From the blasphemy in my wasteland

How did I get here
And what went wrong
Couldn’t handle forgiveness
Now I’m far beyond gone

I can hardly remember
The look of my own eyes
How can I love this a life so dishonest
It made me compromise

Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From the blasphemy in my wasteland

Jump in the water
Jump in with me
Jump on the alter
Lay down with me

The hardest question to answer
Is why

Why

Someone save me if you will
And take away all these pills
And please just save me if you can
From the blasphemy in my wasteland

Someone save me
Someone save me
Somebody save me
Somebody save me
Please don’t erase me"

I am not sure what struck me about this song. I think I was struck by the honesty of the lyrics. The song is both a cry for help and a statement of faith. I think too often we think of faith as the simple answer to any problem. Faith isn't simple. It is raw truth.
- The hardest question to answer is why.
Faith calls us to seek the answer despite the struggle.
