The Great Divide

I'm losing sight of the things I've done to make you smile so wide
I'm getting tired of the unfamiliar faces that I find
In the place of the way love would ripple through your nose and out your eyes
In the place of the way love would trickle down your hands and into mine
I'm losing sight of the way I was before I learned to lie
I'm making light of the things I've done to push my friends aside
It's a weight-loss
It's the way lust will seep into my blood from time to time
It's the way trust escapes us now
Is it too late to say I'm sorry for the things I stole
Am I too late to save the ones I love
From giving up on the things that make us whole
If saying no is all it takes to make this last
I don't mind
I'll forget I ever saw you this time.
If letting go is all it takes to make this pass
I don't mind
I'll forget I ever saw you
I'm losing sight of the lines we drew to bridge the Great Divide.
Still, still you grow to fill the room with stories of your own
How they've left you suspended between your words and what you wanted to hear.

Tear me apart for science
Take what's good and throw out the rest
I'm on a search for the righteous
and I can't find any in me
Tell me there's someone who loves me
and that this is all part of His plan
The Bible's got a hook in you, baby
and it won't stop. It's reeling in.
Does it make you tremble?
Does it bring you down to your knees when you quake
Those who speak the loudest
Never say a goddamn thing in the world.
(Can you see straight through me?)
We pacify and bide our time
Until the day we close our eyes
We use this life to pay a price
Put on our heads before we're made
Grace is a funny thing when no one else can hear you.
Pray. I wonder...
Can you see straight through the crooked lens God gives you?
Can you see straight through to find the good in me?

Babe
I hear you whispering
and I am listening for signs
of a smile in your lies.
Is it fake?
I'm just wondering aloud
How you're the enemy now.
Who changed?
Let this ring pull you closer and remind you
Of the circles that we have run.
Let it breathe, like resolutions that will bind you
and find you home.
Play
Unconscious fingertips now
So lost inside of ourselves
Relapse and see me
Let imposters win you over and deny you
Every moment that we have had.
You will breathe into creatures that define you
and find you home.

Shepherd will you will my soul to safety?
Consider what's embedded in my heart.
Burnt alive for holding blind the sculptures that create me,
If not for just one fragment of your grace.

Only Sleep

Your aimless eyes reflect the color in mine
and remind me of the health we've wasted.
Hold me tight. Let's make the best of our time.
Remind me of the luck I've tasted.
It makes my stomach smile
It rests my bones
I haven't felt this well in a long while
Come back and feel the love we found when we were young.
Come back, I know you must be there.
There's a little more light in the eyes of the nurses that check on your vital signs
Come back, I know you must be there.
Don't trust the lines graphing the thoughts in your mind.
Machines can't tell us what you're thinking.
And your aimless eyes stare up at the ceiling at night
In that catatonic way you used to pray to God.
They're holding gasoline and matches to your throat.
You told me everything would be all right.
Come back and feel the love.

Decay

Hope is the only answer to our prayers
And I'm sick of praying you'll come back to life
If I was only saying what you wanted to hear,
Then I wouldn't say a word to anyone.
As we lie awake
We count our blessings
and give our dreams unto the flames.
Faking martyr,
We need your guidance,
but never would you ask the same.
I felt your words
I felt them burn
Before they even reached my ears.
We're wide awake and watching you
As you fake every word that we believe.
Love curled up and burned away
Finally that rainy day
Both our bodies did decay
In the lust of gravity
As we stand alone,
We give up nothing
and feel our passions in our bones.
We will fall in love
With the world we own.
