    Story Behind the Song
    I have played this song in front of many people. Some have hated it... I don't care. This song was squeezed from my soul.

    Lyrics
    desperation has a texture

    and it coats the insides of my skin

    humiliation tastes like metal

    a naked, jagged aluminum

    and hopelessness is the hollow

    of February air filling my lungs

    it is the substance of excuses

    it is the struggle with a lack of reasons

    am i getting close to the place

    where Jesus can find me

    as i gaze over the cliff

    could he be right behind me

    there are times when it seems

    that nothing is worth something

    and that is a small comfort

    when nothing's all you have

    and there are times i would swear

    i am something less than nothing

    am i getting close

    when i have melted down the drain

    am i getting close to the place

    where Jesus can find me

    as i gaze into the sewer

    could he be right behind me

    his arms outstretched

    dying to hold me

    waiting for the moment

    i'm willing to be held



    i am kneeling with empty hands

    nothing to give at all

    and I suspect there's nothing good in me

    nothing good at all

    i am exposing my pride

    i will abandon it to die

    i will stand up like the hypocrite that i am

    if it will get me to that place

    am i getting close to the place

    where Jesus can find me

    as i gaze into the sewer

    could he be right behind me

    am i getting close to the place

    where Jesus can find me

    as i gaze over the cliff

    could he be right behind me
