Offline

Blue light on my ceiling Midnight in my hands Thumb keeps finding nothing on a thousand borrowed plans Every window open, every promise out of reach

I’m drowning in a crowd and starving for a speech I trade my peace for pings again My worth for little hearts Another reel of someone else

And I forget my part I’m going offline tonight Airplane on my restless mind Let the quiet hold the room

Let the mercy take its time

If there’s a voice that still can heal Let it find me in the night I’m closing all the glowing doors I’m going offline

Coffee gets me to the noon The noon slides into gray I’m tired of being everywhere And never finding a state

I’ve made a home of hurry, it’s a house that never sleeps I need a rest that isn’t bought, a promise I can keep If there’s a yoke that isn’t heavy, if there’s rest for aching bones I’m listening in the silence for a road that leads me home

I’m going offline tonight Airplane on my restless mind Let the quiet hold the room, let the mercy take its time

If there’s a voice that still can heal Let it find me in the night I’m closing all the glowing doors I’m going offline

The weight I carry isn’t light I try to lift it on my own But Jesus says come rest in me Lonely hearts can come back home

If you are gentle, if you’re near Then take this hurry, take this pride Teach my breathing how to pray And lay me down inside your life

I’m going offline tonight Airplane on my restless mind Let the quiet hold the room Let the mercy take its time Jesus, speak a softer word Let it find me in the night

I’m closing all the glowing doors I’m going offline Oh, oh, oh
