There Must Be Someplace Warmer Than Here

I don’t know what I should do now
‘Cause I’ve exhausted all I know how
Still all of my efforts, they fail me
Leaving me broken and empty

I can’t go on
Half living this life on my own

‘Cause I’m hiding behind this smile
And I haven’t come out for a while
See, there is this place so empty inside me
I’m hiding behind this smile

There must be someplace warmer than here
‘Cause my teeth chatter, and I live in fear
But every attempt I attempt just impales me
Leaving me broken and empty

I can’t go on
Half living this life on my own

‘Cause I’m hiding behind this smile
And I haven’t come out for a while
See, there is this place so empty inside me
I keep hiding behind this smile

‘Cause I know I’m not okay, yeah
I know I’m not alright, yeah
I’m hiding behind this smile
Now I haven’t come out for a while
See, there is this place so empty inside me
I keep hiding behind this smile

You see there is this place so empty inside me
and I’m hiding behind this smile
Hiding behind this smile

Second Handers

I heard John Piper make a reference to “second-handers” in a podcast while driving to work. I got super excited because the term epitomizes much of Ayn Rand’s philosophy and I LOVE Ayn Rand books. I actually finished her book The Fountainhead during my lunch break today. Plus, I’ve had some recent revelations about reconciling her ideas and my faith. So when I got home, I did a little research and found that he actually references Ayn Rand in another sermon! I couldn’t find the exact quote I heard, but oh well. Still totally made my day
