One Moment of Peace
by Tammy Jann
2020
When the darkness of the world starts to bleed
the news makers come crawling out to feed
and the cycle begins, the air's filled with pain
click through the channels again and again
while you're left to figure this out alone
trapped in the walls that are your home
buried your smile while your thunderstruck eyes
reflect your need for love that's so hard to find
chorus
you're missing the touch of a caring hand
talking to someone who understands
your mind is melting your heart is lost
saving yourself comes with a cost
you'd risk it all when the world's a fierce beast
to find someone to hold for one moment of peace
It should be quiet when the world's in hiding
but Death's mind roars while he's deciding
the tension turns your soul to weeping
why is it so loud when everyone's sleeping
It plays like a movie in the back of your mind
you struggle to find ways to unwind
isolated with fear as your only friend
looking for a way to make it all end
chorus
you're missing the touch of a caring hand
talking to someone who understands
your mind is melting your heart is lost
saving yourself comes with a cost
you'd risk it all when the world's a fierce beast
to find someone to hold for one moment of peace
Outro
when you dig down deep
in every breath you breathe
you'll find your peace
