First Impressions

All your first impressions are met with reservations about me
I see that I could be misunderstood and seen as unfeeling
I’ve been well predicted, but I don’t think that they really know me
Eyes follow me around, but I don’t think that they really see clearly
I think of you now you’re so far away
Do you still think of me too?
Our skins burning in the sun
Shins on everyone down here
Is there water on your brain
Always looks the same down here
You’re writing me letters as I pull at the fetters unyielding
And nothing but the deepest of love could ever pursued me
I’ve been well predicted, but I don’t think that you really know me
Eyes follow me around but I don’t think that they really see clearly
I think of you now you’re so far away
Do you still think of me too?
Our skins burning in the sun
Shins on everyone down here
Is there water on your brain
Always looks the same down here
Heartless caring for no one
Grace to have you come down here
You’ve been tangled in your pride
Always try to hide your fear

Insomnia

Late at night
I dream of
Insomnia
Then I wake up screaming
Another day
Another fight
Has left my knuckles bleeding
Is there a pill?
Is there a cure?
Cause I low on energy
All around
We’re breaking down
With the sears of entropy
I wake up & dream……
I choked on the seed of apathy
And now it’s deep and growing
Drown all the dreams inside of me
In spite of knowing
I………’ve
Lost my mind
And I’ve looked all over to find
It’s in bed still sleeping
wake up & dream……

Best of Me
04:50
|

Do I fall from grace every time I turn my head?
I am wandering lost to all I know
But you radiate all the love you said you have
You do, you are for me
I’m wondering if the best of me is failing
Do you come through?
When I come to you
So I touched the sky, but never found your ceiling
Cause you come through
I fall into you
Is there enough for me to make it through the fire
I don’t want to fall apart or sink here in the mire
It’s just enough to keep my heart from failing
You lend, your beat to me
I’m wondering if the best of me is failing
Do you come through?
When I come to you
So I touched the sky, but never found your ceiling
Cause you come through
I fall into you
And I fall....into you
I fall
into you

Whirlwind

Here inside this whirl wind of doesn’t matter
Cannot take the time for fuss and chatter
Feel like coming home well here I am
Discontent to roam, nowhere to stand
But this time, this time, this time
I won’t get caught standing still
And maybe, maybe, maybe this time
I can walk between rain drops
After thoughts have kept me in the middle
Always second guessing this endless riddle
The sun is never discontent to shine
You won’t find me staring ‘til I go blind
But this time, this time, this time
I won’t get caught standing still
And maybe, maybe, maybe this time
I can walk between rain drops
And all this time
Have I been blind?
I come alive
To future possibilities

If They Care Enough
04:03
|

|
If they, if they care enough to hurt you
They won’t, they won’t think twice to desert you
Climbing the steps where you live where no one is waiting
Searching for meaning in words no one’s translating
You lie, you lie to yourself in your bed
Repeat, repeat all their words in your head
Over and over it plays, a broken record
The arms that you’re longing to find are worth the waiting

Postcards

If you’re reading this letter
I hope it finds you well
I’m learning to feel my bones
After twenty years in hell
Of all the things they take from
They could not steal my soul
I buried hope inside of me
Down here in a hole
Have to fall to get up again
Have to crawl to stand up straight
If you ever find your way
To a place down by the sea
The tide might take your memory
Of all you’ve ever seen
Maybe I’ll find a lover
Maybe I’ll make some friends
There’s no use in wishing for
What you can’t get back again
Have to fall to get up again
Have to crawl to stand up straight
Maybe I’ll never be the same again
After living inside of the walls
Maybe I’ll meet you on the shore today
After all
I almost stopped believing
Almost lost my way
But I couldn’t stand the thought of me
Going out that way
If you find your drowning
Under the crush of days
Find a place inside yourself
They can not take away
Have to fall to get up again
Have to crawl to stand up straight
Maybe I’ll never be the same again
After living inside of the walls
Maybe I’ll meet you on the shore today
After all
The ocean has no memory
When we’re pulled out to tide
Times a cruel enemy
Cause there’s no where we can hide
