Save me from losing myself

I haven't written in a while. No reason. Just didn't.
In the meantime, I did start listening to some new artists. The Letter Black being one of them. This is a band, that is a band first, but is Christian and isn't afraid to put their beliefs in their songs. It is kind of like an athlete that is not outwardly Christian until he scores a touchdown and then looks up and points to the heavens.
Their song Hanging On By A Thread is a good example of a rock band writing in a message that can be taken just as a good message or something deeper.
This brings up a good point. Sometimes I need a good message that has something more. Sometimes I need a driving song to get me pumped. That is another reason I like a lot of christian rock. I can get both in the same song.
Lyrics
My past has followed me and
I just can't get away I'm not the same as I was Leaving my disarray
Take me just as I am (I'm broken down) Pull me into your arms (I'm hanging on, to every word)
Save me from losing myself I'm hanging on by a thread Can you see who I am Underneath my scars I'm afraid to fall So I'm holding on to you No I won't let go I'm hanging on by a thread
I still can hardly believe The person I once was I'm trying so hard to change Help me work through my flaws
Take me just as I am (I'm calling out) Pull me into your arms (I'm holding on to every breath)
Save me from losing myself I'm hanging on by a thread Can you see who I am Underneath my scars I'm afraid to fall So I'm holding on to you No I won't let go I'm hanging on by a thread
I'll never need I'll…
