Wrecked
On a mirror sea;
Capsized,
Epiphany

How the hell did you escape
The gravity?

Stressed,
Distressed like jeans
Liar,
Fake fuck like me

How the hell did you escape
The gravity?

Rocket man,
You're Peter Pan
You're Gone, Daddy, Gone
But how the hell did you escape
The gravity?

TheGoodSonAm I my brother's keeper?
Do we keep ourselves in check?
Or are we more like William,
your success mine to deflect?
Remember that first fight we
had inside our mother's womb?
Well maybe you were right then
and there's just not enough room.
I think we want the same thing
and it's just too hard to say.
I want to be the good son
and to win this game we play.
We hold up our own mirrors.
Your frown rests upon our face.
"The Other's so much better,"
and we both take second place.
I'm coveting what you have and the life that you have built;
so jealous of your green grass and ashamed of all my silt.
I'm sinking to the same doubts that have anchored my whole life.
A worry wraps 'round my neck: My once and future strife.
You see me as a clipper, sure of purpose, set in course.
But all I see is ocean and mirrors without remorse.
MosesOh dear, Lord, what have I done?
I spoke Your word and You took their sons.
Now the mamas and the papas all curse my name.
You took their lives, I took the blame.
Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.
I turned wrath and pride against my kin.
So grant me the mercy of which You tell;
send me to Heaven and not to Hell.
Tell me, Lord, was this not wrong?
We cry and we bleed, but not for long.
Our short lives are full of pain
that we cherish joy when it comes again.
So give me another cheek to turn:
A pool for their rage to boil and burn.
Lead these lost souls right back to You
through desert sands that shine our shoes.
My flock is lost, they dance and sing
for a golden calf when You are King.
Will You punish them to punish me
and turn their songs to silence and sleep?
Life is a gift that You take away.
You stomp and storm and You close The Gate.
For all Your power and all Your might
You're fickle like a child and You're rarin' for a fight.
The OceanIt's not always nature
that does us in.
Sometimes it's abstract things
under our skin.
We say, "Where is she,
lover I long for?
Tell her I need her;
then tell her I need her more."
We simply crave love,
and we can't get enough.
We hold on so tight.
We want to soak it up
until we feel full,
and we can be whole again;
and forget who we were
back where we've been.
It's never been easy
to pull yourself back above
the ocean we envy
that claims to drown us in love.
I wish that were the answer,
then we could lay this to rest
by diving in headfirst
and choosing to hold our breath.
The Road WestI had that dream again;
the one with the wife and kids.
I woke along the trail,
bottled fire bruising my ribs.
I lost at counting cards
so count me among the first
to dot this new terrain
in drops of my failing worth.
There's far too much sun
and too much earth.
It swims out west where
we die of thirst.
Our terrors come at night,
silver tongues licking their lips.
I woke covered in sweat
and I knew that we won't live.
I've lost my way, oh Lord.
I don't know what I'm worth,
but bleed this newborn son
to bless this haunted dirt.
There's far too much sun
and too much earth.
It swims out west where
we die of thirst.
For want of freedom
and destiny
I gave my body and
the rest of me.
Steel CastlesI was a fragile youth
clawing my way towards truth.
Soaking in mystery,
I questioned everything.
I said, "There has to be
a meaning for misery,
a reason the days are long,
a reason these nights feel wrong."
Can I keep you?
Can I hide you away?
Will you leave me?
Will you ever change?
I sit in a big steel house,
its windows a gaping mouth;
a fortress atop the trees,
a keeper of all I see.
This life holds no mystery
or meaning. We build and breach
these castles that cannot keep
us safe from ourselves.
Can I flee you?
Can I keep you away?
Will you leave me?
Will you let me change?
Can I fight you,
cynical man I've made?
Will you leave me?
Will you let me change?
Twenty YearsWe're icebergs
disguising as ships.
We float along so aimlessly and
crash into this shit!
I can't make
the things you create.
You give and give and give and give and
all I do is take
what I want
and what I deserve.
Our boys are yours. Our girl is yours. Anne,
you've sure got some nerve!
Nobody loves me
like I do.
I push everyone away
and find someone new.
We're clean clothes
lying on the floor.
We love and leave and love and leave like
two revolving doors!
I should have
the praise and respect
of everyone and everything that
I have ever met.
Life is hard,
but I carry on.
You think what you want, but know this, Anne:
I'm never alone.
Nobody loves me
like I do.
I push everyone away
and find someone new.
We're children
hiding from a fight.
We close our eyes and close our ears, but
there's no end in sight.
I still love
all the things we made.
Though they turn their backs and walk away,
that will never change
how I feel.
What a thing to know:
Twenty years as a Godly man; Anne,
you reap what
While You Are MineHe said:
"I'm giving up, I'm dying alone;
heart on my sleeve, arm cut to the bone.
Reach out your hand and get pushed away.
Life is lonely so why should I stay?
She said:
Life is lonely, you're right about that.
We love 'til we can't and can't go back.
We flicker, then shine, then disappear.
Only you and I'll know we were here.
So let's sing 'Lay Me Down'
and admit we need this now.
There's exactly enough time
left in the sands while you are mine."
He said:
"There's a sadness that bubbles below.
It's calling out to swallow me whole.
Take my hand and I'll drag you back down;
away from the light, under the ground."
She said:
"That's a darkness that you have to fight.
It won't be easy, but it's what's right.
You don't need my hands, but here they are.
Take what you need to cover your scars.
Then I'll sing 'Lay Me Down'
because I know you need this now.
Maybe it's not the right time,
but I want you so I'll make you mine."
She said:
"I don't love you like I did before.
I tried to fake it, b
Long RoadI'm burning every last bridge I never thought I'd need.
They tethered me to people now suddenly set free.
So roam around the country. Travel from place to place.
Find a single voice that will match your single face.
Spread your wings and go.
With no one left to keep you safely from your big dreams,
you can find your answers. You can learn how to breathe.
I don't aim to chain you or force your lips to sing.
I won't cage a free bird. You're not a mantle piece.
Spread your wings and go.
If you return we'll know...
I know that it's scary so high above the ground,
but to know how far you've come, Darling, you must look down.
Trust yourself to stay strong and know you'll be okay.
You can live for tomorrow and still enjoy today.
So spread your wings and go.
If you return we'll know
that this was meant to be.
So spread your wings and go.
If you return we'll know
that this was meant to be.
It's always you and me;
but I know it's a long road.
From His Old BranchesLoose words on loose leaves
reveal the old me
I don't want to be anymore.
Burning down my bad luck,
standing tall and unstuck,
I'm gonna take on the world!
I'm the flash birth of a new leaf
from the branches of his old tree.
I'm gonna be fine.
I won't stay anchored to my mistakes
and grounded by an old heartbreak.
She's gonna be mine.
A Ship lost at sea,
kicking and screaming;
I don't want that metaphor.
Swallowing that old pain,
coughing up my old shame,
I'm gonna conquer the world!
These new lenses that I see through
hide all those old shades of untrue.
Suddenly, I see change.
A dark fractured glass reflection
shows the good man I've always been.
Suddenly, I'm the same.
I'm a sinner
and a savior.
I'm the man of my dreams.
I'm gonna be fine.
I'm both the man
and the mirror.
And the man of her dreams.
I'm gonna be fine.
