Hopefully this will be the last time I'll be gone Hopefully my mind will clear and problems with resolve On their owe Well If time was meant to heal us, where does this time begin And I'm listening to stories of death and all her friends All alone Cause I'd love to be loved for who I am. But I'll fight against the tides of human And I see you in the silence pushing the depths of peace Mysteries repeating history's believes And I long for clarity because it's long since been removed The chemicals persuading my ever changing moods So what is it to hear your voice, I hear so many now A cacophony of opinions lost among the crowd All alone Cause I'd love to be loved for who I am But I'll fight against the tide of human And I'm open yet critical, discontent and cynical If it's not to you where do I turn If you're not the truth what can I learn Down here in the dirt and curse I'm alone in the firmament This cold is omnipotent This cold is omnipotent Could you ever believe that someone is calling us by name Love, do you believe me? Love, do you believe me? Who You are is who You are And I am birthed a reckless heart Who You are is who You are I AM birthed a reckless heart Who You are is who You are And I am birthed a reckless heart Who You are is who You are I AM birthed a reckless heart Who You are is who You are And I am birthed a reckless heart Who You are is who You are I AM birthed a reckless heart

Wake 04:06
Wake up oh brothers destine to die Wake up oh sisters God hears your cryies Wake up oh mothers your spirit is new Wake up oh fathers hold to the truths Disembark to kill all our kings Disengage to dream all our dreams And the lonely hearts dance with the queens And the broken cards laid at the table of time We've got to distract our minds Cause we can't face the pulling apart Of the first grace that's hid in our hearts We are why the world feels all alone And our salty tears aren't finding us home Its the case for Christ and it's at our backs Pushing us, pulling us, loving us Breathing our breaths And singing when we've got no lungs to sing Wake up oh brothers destine to live Wake up oh sisters God brings good gifts Wake up oh mothers comfort the weak Wake up oh fathers you get what you seek Whoa disenchant to hear the wind words and The distant songs sung by the Churches "The God of now, the God of then, the God to come, the great I AM Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, You're the holy God"

Faults 03:33
Well I'm an open dirty dirty book A dissonant chord in a song I'm the pinched nerve in the neck And I am all but wrong I'm the wondering wanderer And I can't choose a bed I'm the warm drink of water I might be better off dead Have you ever thought Of what it must be like to be dead Removed from existence To breath air no more Your body grows cold But where does your mind go Once detached from physica?l Give me all your love I will take and use it up Give me all of attention I might not even be awake when you talk But listen here I mean well But I'm just not well And I should not be here For I've got bad excuses for my actions And I cannot claim to be clean I obsess over my passions There's nothing new and I don't move I don't do what I know I should do There's nothing new and I don't move I don't do what I know I should do And do you think you're better than I I wouldn't blame you if you did We've all got faults and we're all gonna die But I question how we should live We've all got faults and we're all gonna die But I question how we should live

Building a kingdom on my own with no instructions How in this hell am I gonna get it right? Visions, premonitions, dead to core Progressive revolution abhorred As economic faux pas But I don't want your money I don't want your pity I just want to be bride I don't want your religion I don't want to make decisions On my own with no light How could I get you right? Dirty, sexy, senses run wild When did I become to child that i saw in my dreams Righteous, honest fruit on the vine I've kept them far from mind so I can do what I please But I'm angry at insensitivity And I want to love liberally I wont cast the first stone And I strive for no vanity But I've failed miserably So look at me, look at me I scream with irony For all that is good in me is the result of pursuit Of that which is true But are good intensions enough When we're made in the image of love In prophetic or lies do I build with you in mind Pull back the curtains of grace let the fallen Let all the death and decay, the curse, new calling I know the offer on the table is steep And deep important, intrinsic with glory divine Love as you love your self Love the author of love Offer your love You are loved I am loved I AM Love Love is the curtain withdrawn

Dove 04:55
Dove, pick up the feather trail You seem to be oh so frail But I don't want to fail you Well, I admit it's easier when my family's on my side I am a people pleaser and I don't like to be denied So Dove, pick up your feather trail It's kind of a turn off when I'm left with no choice But to follow the ending Fuck the entropy I want to see glory! I don't want to fail you Hallelu, Hallelu Oh I don't claim my owen Hallelujah Dove, pick up your feather trail I wont be angry Come what will Well I admit I'm uncomfortable with this ending at the cross Interpose illogical with the power of the blood Dove you're gonna kill me Dove you gotta heal me Where do I find ground to live? I long for you to be with us I want to sing us all to love I'm pretty sure it's lofty anyways But am I broken enough Well am I broken enough Well am I broken enough I don't claim my own Hallelu, Hallelujah I don't claim my own Hallelu, Hallelujah I don't claim my own

I AM(Known) 03:31
When I was 27 I decided I'm not going to Heaven But I'm not staying in this Hell no There's no place for my soul But each day is a gift So why waste it on mindless shit Unless of course you've got a reason for it Then by all means justify the end But on my way back home I will see the streets I used to roam And stumble upon the cornerstone Who built the fabric in my bone I am not alone As this earth turns and groans Singing and screaming the loudest tones Of the chaos that Love dethrones And the fact that I am known Turn your heart bate and switch Turn your mind the catalyst The all in all is the reason for this Telling all the tales Disaster rules the night Rout out the fears upon daylights plight And stare inside the curse of the apple bite As if expecting to fail But on my way back home I will see the streets I used to roam And stumble upon the cornerstone Who built the fabric in my bone I am not alone As this earth turns and groans Singing and screaming the loudest tones Of the chaos that Love dethrones And the fact that I am known

Breathe of Love, I don't understand you Please come unlock Heaven's doors Living word I live by thy standard Please guide me back to Holy Shores Find me on my knees and deliver me from pleasing My ever lustful wondering heart Picking up the pieces, I'm holding on to Jesus Tell me, what's your will for this life? Papa, are you smiling at me? As I live in this forgotten land The mountains rain down on me But don't hold me back from your loving hand Find me on my knees and deliver me and free me Wrap me up in wonders unknown Let go of possessions, sensual obsessions Set me free from trusting my own Danger! All around us Hold tight to the truths of the Father Righteousness, peace on your feet Faith with hope and salvation Find us on our knees LORD SInging out our tears LORD Lifting up a Holy song Drinking in your spirit You tell us you're near us Your royal family of which we belong Glory to the Father, Holy One, Creator Maker of Heaven and Earth Giver of the life breathe Forgiver of our old death Bringer of new life and new birth Bringer of new life and new birth

Oh the words of the wise are lost on the masses When popular opinion is guard your own ass-ets At all costs cause they're out to steal your shit Why do we think we're in control Why do we think we're all aloe There's a lone voice crying in the wilderness There's a cold wind blowing in There are bones forgotten in the ice There are stones marking old graves Watch your own back you're the only one that can do it and Fight your own fight you're the only one who goes through it Can we find a common interest here? Or am I the only one who's needs are sincere Am I less than a man if I don't have what you have Am I less than human if I don't understand that you are too Am I the only one who's got a mom or a dad Am I the only one who gets happy or sad Am I the only one who thinks what I think Am I the only one who need water to drink Am I the only one who is valuable Am I the only one who's gonna get old and die So why draw this line And believe the lie But are we love? Or is it within us? Can we trust? Or just become religious We plagiarize We repeat history This moment is a melody Veiled in mystery

Bi-Polarity 04:18
Bi-polarity and mentally unstable I get moments of clarity and speaking of fables We are singularity and yet we desire labels To help us believe we belong To help us believe we are strong Balancing cold sweats and regrets on this cable I get little to no rest abreast all these pages I can barely even see what I believe to be able So damnation on my heals I will run And run the risk of flying too close to the sun So why do I care so much about being alone I fight my own parents, lovers, teachers, friends Oh God I come to you broken again The Father opens his arms His child has returned to the farm How many times can I take my inheritance Down to the pig field and curse my own arrogance A child of affluence, a child of the dawn Meet up early at a bar all alone I called it early, called it cold, called it wrong Immersed in darkness I am lonely Lord But I get along with my open wound So Darling why didn't you stick with me Cause I couldn't possibly live that long I had to add divorce to my vocabulary Because somebody's gotta the black sheep of the family But mistakes I have made doesn't change their love for me But what if this one does And what if I just ain't enough And what if I don't measure up How many times can I take my inheritance Down to the pig field and curse my own arrogance A child of affluence, a child of the dawn Meet up early at a bar all alone I called it early, called it cold, called it wrong Immersed in darkness I am lonely Lord At the pit of my soul I hate this open wound Yet I keep scratching and singing this old tune "Like a dog eats its vomit, I return to my own" And bi-polarity is my home And mentally out of control And single and sad but I'm not alone
