It’s not that I deserve the Good
But I have had enough of the Bad
Since I’m going to thank you anyway
What’s one more?
They say that you give and you take
But there’s just one blessing you can give me now
Lest I make a mistake
And miss out
Create something to destroy
Am I merely a toy dismantled in your room?
Do you remember my name?
I carry my shame
I asked you to live here
Is it uncomfortable; this place I’ve made
With an acrid scent of fear
I believed the aegis of your name
Foolishly thought that you looked at her the same
Will my heart ever match obedient praise?
So I swallow what I really feel
As if saying this out loud is what made it real
Is she crashing birds into my path?
Just to say hello

Reflections

I have given you these good things
I recognize those habits
I love the stories you sing
Let's sit and watch these movies
Our fathers were the models
Distance and disappointment
Until I held my child
And I learned what true love meant
I know that smile
It's brightened many days in my past
I know that soul
I swear that it's the same as my own
I know that laugh
And when your heart is downcast
I've knelt there before
You are never really alone
It's darkened all the days ahead
In everything reflected
I know that smile
It's brightened many days in my past
I know that soul
I swear that it's the same as my own
I know that laugh
And when your heart is downcast
I've knelt there before
You were never really alone
I'll kneel there once more
Please don't ever leave me alone
It's darkened all the days ahead
In everything reflected

Amazing But Not
01:51
|

|
In this house where floors creak
I can feel your whispers on my cheek
You walk in, door hinges speak
Will I catch a glimpse tonight?
Thank the moon for gentle light
Dilutes the shadow of me
Himself he thought was Victory
And at war he'd never fall
So he fought so valiantly
A sacrifice for all
Then in the end
Such a good friend
Was lost for all time
Inspires at a cost
Amazing But Not

To You, The Adolescent
03:30

The sadness that you feel today
It's young and potent
But my love you'll own it
Discovering something new
Same things from a taller view
My love, you're growing into it
You want your inner voice
To hear back from the still-small one
But I have no answers for this
Your child faith used to strengthen mine
When it should have been the other way around
So God, please blame me for this
You counted me down from ten
Convinced me in my slumber
Number by number you take me under
You saw the world for what it really is
Do not be part of its ugliness
You promised me, you promised
Hello, Mr. Burden
I know you've had a long way
And I've stood that ground before
Tried to take your yesterday
But the song you sing
I sang or wrote
With my heart in my stomach
And my stomach in my throat
Still bleeding Christ for an antidote
So God, please blame me for this
You promised me, you promised

Since That Day
03:19
|
|||
|
You raise me up
Then you push me down
The wave
Heavy rhythmic sound
Heard your siren call
I have lost my way
You breathe fog
Then wreck my love and hate
All over the place
Ever since that day
I wait here
In this lighthouse I've made
Please find me

Supplication
03:33
|

|
Does my voice go higher than this ceiling?
Just noise until my words have no feeling
I am scuffed from all this kneeling
Was it all the wrong I was revealing?
If I really do not believe in
Then why do I keep asking?
A lot of us are here waiting
To be paid some attention
I see what it's like for a decent life
But I do not like pushing aside
I gave you praise in that place that was violent
That did not prove my love
You went silent
Left this in the hands of men that lied
I wait my turn
Does that make me a fool?
While others reach that healing pool
And if my words ever make it through
Please know that I tried
I loved you, and I tried
