Almost a Ghost

The lights of Grace dance for
The shards of glass on the dashboard
How can we release our worth
If we believe in eternal return
We can be more than
Diamonds in a lions den
And we can do more with
Our lives than just try and survive them
I'm sick of always searching for a car crash
I hate the way I always find myself bracing for impact
And the hood of my car turned my windshield into stained glass
That seemed to shatter right after I came back
Thats when I realized that
If I took the time to say it
Then I could take it back
We can be more than
Diamonds in a lions den
And we can do more with
Our lives than just try and survive them
Just critiquing without
Even reaching out
Calling myself out
I don't want to feel better
I want to better myself
Sometimes we feel wronged, conned and over exposed
Lost, caught, when we don't know which way to go
And my hands guided me to the side of the road
I was just one lane away, I was almost a ghost
We can be more than
Diamonds in a lions den
And we can do more with
Our lives than just try and survive them

Who we were, and what we had
We’ll never get it back
I wish I could erase parts of how you had me raised
All I got in return was your broken faith and my father's face
So just get lost
Along with the thought
I thought I’d gotten rid of
And I hate
The thoughts that make me feel
Because it’s thoughts like this, of what you did
That makes it real
I won’t become my grandfather’s son
I won’t become my brothers ashes scattered, and I won’t fall into this family pattern
Of reckless abandon and abandonment
I won’t be had; I’ve had enough of this
So just get lost
Along with the thought
I thought I’d gotten rid of
And I hate
The thoughts that make me feel
Because it’s thoughts like this, of what you did
That makes it real
We estrange and rearrange
(I close my eyes, because I don’t need to see)
Things change, and people change
People leave, and we retrieve what we can
From who you thought I was
(It’s all I need to feel)
And who I know I am
And we fight just to find what we believe in
And we fight just to stay breathing
(Free)
So just get lost
Along with the thought
I thought I’d gotten rid of
And I hate
The thoughts that make me feel
Because it’s thoughts like this, of what you did
That makes it real

Honest Prayers

We set out on this path
And we never came back
We all play God
When we have no real love
To give up
There are places we go
Things we come to know
Things we’ve done
That we never come back from
But I still want you to
Take the sight from my eyes
So I can keep it in my mind
The most important parts of my life
Are what I kept on the inside
The lives we’ve known
Every place we came to call our home
Every face we loved
Is everything we take with us

I want you
I want you to want me too
When you run your hands down my back
Writing lines in intimate abstracts
You pull me close and I
place my hands behind your neck
I like where we are when you sleep in my arms
When our hearts align in the confines of my bed
We lead different lives
When We live in the nighttime
I want your body by my bedside
I want to spend every second like it was our last one alive
If only we could always talk
Like we do at four in the morning
If only you could always look at me
The way you do when I’m listening to your heart beat
And God knows
That I don’t
Want to hold you back
We lead different lives
When we live in the nighttime
I want your body by my bedside
I want to live every second like it was our last one alive
And I know, I know
You live on your own
But you don’t have to go it alone
I’ve got my hand on your heart; I’ve got my hand on your heart
I have
my hand
It’s only at night
that I know who we really are
I’ve got my hand on your heart; I’ve got my hand on your heart
I have
my hand
It’s only at night
that I know who we really are
We lead different lives
When we live in the nighttime
I want your body by my bedside
I want to live every second like it was our last one alive
And I know, I know
You live on your own
But you don’t have to go it alone

Empyrean
03:52

I look to the stars at night
So much more sense than this island home
In which I reside
I tried to fly, but the pavement was faster than I was
It’s not that I have a total disregard for life
It’s just my heart wants more than my home could hope to provide
Paint me blue and put me in the sky
It’s only in the depths of these spectral Empyreans
That I will never die
I tried to fly, but the pavement was faster than I was
It’s not that I have a total disregard for life
It’s just my heart wants more than my home could hope to provide
If eternity awaits
Then eternity can wait
There's nothing more precious than
The prelude to the permanent
And I’m not afraid
I tried to fly, but the pavement was faster than I was
It’s not that I have a total disregard for life
It’s just my heart wants more than my home could hope to provide
