Comprehensible (Can any of you understand?)

You need two voices in your head to write a tune—the critic and the dreamer. They both have to cooperate and start dating for good songs to come.-
Jon Foreman, CCM Magazine interview

I've been a rough patch recently and it's coming out in my writing.

I cannot trust my own words
Only use others to show I feel
I cannot trust my own words
They turn into ramblings around you

Am I even comprehensible anymore?
Can any of you understand what I say?

And this feels so familiar
But completely new in the same aspect
Can we find the words to explain ourselves
Or for once shall we leave it up to God

Who knew this would ever happen
How could we ever see in course of all these years
And for the hopes we held and wishes we made
It would never turn out the way we thought it would be

Am I even comprehensible anymore?
Can any of you understand what I say?

And this feels so familiar
But completely new in the same respect
Can we find the words to explain ourselves
Or for once shall we leave it up to God

And someday we'll find this middle ground
Someday it might be dark and a place we hate
Someday it might shine some light into our lives
Someday we we will understand
Someday we will understand ourselves
Someday our mouths will open and the words will come
Someday we will understand...

Am I even comprehensible anymore?
Can any of you understand what I say?

And this feels so familiar
But completely new in the same respect
Can we find the words to explain ourselves
Or for once shall we leave it up to God

I cannot trust my own words
