You told them that I hung the moon
It was a lonely sliver hanging from the sky
I said I put it there for you
I didn’t think that it would make you cry
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
My recurring dream of you
Starlight in your eyes and music everywhere
I am dancing close to you
There are no days or nights we’ve left behind
Don’t stop, don’t stop for me now
Don’t stop, don’t stop for Read more…
Go undercover, we drop from the screens
We’re hunters and lions, we are submarines
Under the surface, slip through the wires
Decipher the code words, disable the liars
And find, glowing on the inside
What’s growing on the inside
Heaven’s not that far
Glowing on the inside
Showing on the inside
It’s growing where we are
We shatter devices, exit the stage
We stop masquerading, to rattle the cage
We face every searchlight at places we hide
We dress up for Eden, the gates open wide
We are, we are, Read more…
Catch the rain empty hands
Save the children from their lands
Wash the darkness from their skin
Heroes from the west
We don’t know you, we know best
This is not a test
You treat me like I’m blind
Setting fires around houses on the hill
But light gives heat
You segregate my mind
Burning crosses from your fears
The light gives heat
It’s not the way to light their way
Boys in holes in empty fields
Oh, how good it feels
Lower-class, and understate
Empty promise, empty plate
You treat me like Read more…
It took a lot to turn away
Blood and water from one side
It took your eyes to stare me down
It took the truth to set me free, to set me free
Looking for place to hide
Waiting for the wind to rise
My soul is waiting
Looking for a place to hide
I need a little peace tonight
Take me higher than the sun
You are the only one
Take me higher than the sun
Around the ceiling of the heart
Is where we feel the things Read more…
I’m feeling older than my years
I’m feeling pain inside my chest
It’s love that keeps me silent
It’s my silence that you detest
Rivers flow into the oceans
And oceans never fill
I want to kiss your lips, but I know I never will
Love’s a hard decision to risk impending choke
But love will keep you wishing
And my heart will keep me broke
I blew flowers, gave you candy to even out the guilt
I sent you greeting cards with messages that I could Read more…
I don’t have to hear it, if I don’t want to
I can drown this out, pull the curtains down on you
It’s a heavy world, it’s too much for me to care
If I close my eyes, it’s not there
With my headphones on, with my headphones on
With my headphones on, with my headphones on
We watch television…but the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama, so the hurt is never felt
I take in the war-fires, and Read more…
Hallelujah, we can finally hear
It’s a miracle we feel anything at all
Things we planted on the worst days of the year
Grew to fingers that rip at the joy
And set our backs against the wall
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
There are no enemies in front of you
Hallelujah, we can finally see
How the bitterness was bruising on our skin
We didn’t notice that grace had run so thin
Till we’re falling apart and the cracks in our hearts let Read more…
All the good monsters open their eyes
To see the wasteland where the home fires rise
And the people shouting, “Why, why, why”
Do you know what you are?
Do you know what you are?
All the giants wake from their sleep
And roll outside of safety’s keep
And the pain makes them feel so alive
Do you know what you are; do you know what you are?
We are bored of all the things we know
Do you know what you are; do you know Read more…
Just in case, I will leave my things packed
So I can run away
I cannot trust these voices I don’t have a line of prospects that can give some kind of peace
There is nothing left to cling to that can bring me sweet release
I have no fear of drowning
It’s the breathing that’s taking all this work
Do you know what I mean when I say, “I don’t want to be alone”?
What I mean when I say, “I don’t Read more…
Must have thought I was so strong
Might have ever thought I was the one for this all along
But I can’t even dream
Or imagine how it seems
To carry the weight of this crown
[Chorus:]
It’s not as easy as it seems
To carry the weight of your dreams
Hiding in the shadows
It’s not as easy as it seems
With Pharaoh and angel and everything in between (counting on hope)
I might have come to a similar conclusion
Only mixed up in the wake of Read more…
