Translucency
  [Verse 1]
  Translucent life
  Made out of glass
  Broken within
  Nothing will last
  Reaching inside
  For something to live for
  [Verse 2]
  Walls caving in
  Getting so low
  How can they stand
  With no cornerstone?
  Drowning outside
  ‘Cause there’s nothing to live for
  [Chorus]
  Why do you live
  Frozen in pain
  I’m trying to help you, I’m calling your name
  There’s nothing more
  Than internal flames
  Put them out, put them out
  [Verse 3]
  Lonely tides
  Hitting the shore
  A soft beating noise
  From your heart
  Laughing it off
  Pretending you’re okay
  [Verse 4]
  Slowly but surely
  Quiet but clear
  You start to wonder
  Why am I here?
  Faking a smile
  Just to get by
  [Chorus]
  Why do you live
  Frozen in pain
  I’m trying to help you, I’m calling your name
  There’s nothing more
  Than internal flames
  Put them out, just put them out
  [Bridge *Rap*]
  In the mess of everything
  There’s a future for you
  ‘Cause you’re beautiful too
  And your life is not through
  So stop tryin’ to end it
  It’s been given to you
  Your hope, love, and life is due
  To you by the God who sent it
  He sent his Son to die for you
  On the cross, so you’ll be made anew
  Made into someone who is valued too
  And loved by people who love you through
  You can start your life again
  Livin’ without old regrets
  You can learn the ways of Christ
  Singin’ while you praise your life
  Come on

I was inspired to write this song because of some people I knew who were going through rough times in their life.
