Lady Angel

A spirit glided past my face, and the hair on my body stood on end.
It stopped, but I could not tell what it was.
A form stood before my eyes, and I heard a hushed voice:
"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love."

But is it true?
Can I rely on you?
With the mic in my hand
And the light in my eye
I would say anything
To get on their side
And here in the lighthouse
My feet on the stage
They tell me son
You're wise for your age
But that's all gone away
(Oh you handsome man, you)
Is this love perfect
Was it built for me?
(Is it supposed to be
Is it supposed to be
But anyhow you get the idea)
And if love isn't perfect
And I'm not perfect
And if life is changing
Faster than I can breathe
Then what does that mean?
What can I be?
Where does love come from
If you don't give it to me
If you find any, then you bring it to us, will you?
But its there
And its delicious, really delicious
Because you make it yourself
You'll find that the difference is worth the little extra effort

Sign of Ill Omen

(only you can do it)
And what am I supposed to say
And we-
We disagree
Silence is complacency
And to speak up is disruption
I don't want to disrupt this family
And the way things are
It is so hard for me
To decide between what I feel is right
And the love we are supposed to feel
Passed around through screens
Hell is real
What I've seen from you
From what I've seen, who are you?
What I've seen from you
From what I've seen, is it true?
I've lived this way for so long
To doubt what I've been told
I feel it in my chest
An aching pull to heaven
In the name of paranoia
The revelation of truth
We are incompatible
And I'm finished running
I am home
What I've seen from you
From what I've seen, is it true?
What I've seen from you
From what I've seen, who are you?
What I've seen from you
From what I've seen, is it true?
What I've seen from you
What I've seen from you
From what I've seen, who are you?

When This Body Breaks
03:38
|

When this body breaks
As a solemn guise
Turn your back to the light
And try to realize
I find it funny
I find it harsh
The way you look at me
The way I fall apart
We think of purpose
To give ourselves routine
As if theres honesty or truth
Inside the world we see
You want to love me
Lead me to God
I just want to feel
Like I belong
Abnormal sex, crime, and violence
As the dawn approaches
I let my fingers curl
I think of pointless endings
And I think of phantom girls
There's so little that we
All seem to know
About our weary selves
And of this place we grow
The endless chaos
That changes day to day
I rest on solid ground
And feel it slip away
And if this body breaks
And I've got to let you go
Think of me fondly
And of this world we know

Of All The Ways
02:42
|
|||
Of all the ways that you love me now
And I, so cold and afraid of time
It sways and bends us, misdirects us
Oh, I am here for you
Oh, under your eye
My back to the sky
There's no reasons left
To hide
So here I am dreaming of July
And thinking back to when I was young
A boy, not knowing, yet still growing
And I know nothings changed
And, inside your storm
My body is worn
Oh, I was supposed
To be warm
Of all the ways that you love me now
And I, so cold and afraid of dying
You are my mender, touch so tender
Oh, I am here for you

Goodnight Child
03:45
|
|||
Do you know where he goes at night?
I am alone sometimes
In the quiet lies
What happened to that child?
Where did you go?
I just wanna be clear
Did you wanna be here?
Did you wanna see me?
Did you wanna leave me?
Oh, I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
In the quiet night
I only want more time
Look at all these kids in the sea
What have you done to me?
Where did you go?
I just wanna be clear
Did you wanna be here?
Did you wanna see me?
Did you wanna leave me?
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
What have you done to me?
Sometimes I think of you
Do you think of me?
We are all doomed to grow
Shed this innocent world behind us
And embrace the brutal machine
Do you see how it burns?
I just wanna be clear
Did you wanna be here?
You don't wanna see me
You don't wanna leave me
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be alone

I give all my children so much
And at the end of the day
You take all my light and my love
I feel your innocence bleed away
And its awful to say
I feel you pull away
In the final days
I feel you pull away
Perhaps I'm too distant
To those of your kind
The weight of the world drags your eyelids
Until you're completely blind
Say it one more time
In the quiet of night
You only want more time
In the quiet of night
You only want more time
In the quiet of night
You only want more time
Say it one more time
I can never see you
But I would love to see you sometime
Who are you, that speaks to me in the tender night?
Where did you come from?
And do you truly love me, the way the books describe?
I am beyond hope
Beyond love in this boundless world
Can you save us all?
Or only one?
Is it me?
In the quiet of night
You only want more time
In the quiet of night
You only want more time
In the quiet of night
You only want more time
Say it one more time

The Time of Man
04:24
|
|||
And in these years, there is the time of man
The time to fulfill his destiny
The time of man
Sticks, rocks, and bones
Bend your chin towards the light
As if you've never known
The mountain's crumbled
The fire died
2016 was the last time that I even tried
The pastor's quiet
And his daughter's truly kind
And if he had to
He would leave all of this world behind
And I don't blame him
Because I'm searching too
One day I'll find something
More than even me and you
The picture you are about to see deals with the problem of self destruction
This great human affliction
The time of man
Approaches
It's already here
The time of man
Approaches
Between the lines now, between the lines
Into the hands of fear
Misinformation
The time of man is here
Into the hands of fear
You wanna break me
You'll have to reach me here
You want to talk about destiny?
Well I think it's clear
I think it's very clear
You want to talk about destiny?
You've got to change
You've got to make me fear
I would sing of heartache
But my heart doesn't ache no more
I would sing of love
But my heart doesn't love no more
And I would sing of god
But god isn't here no more
And I would sing of songs
But I can't hear the words no more
Why don't you surrender
I beg you, surrender
So please, be tender
And darling, surrender
And love me as I love you

No Return
04:19
|
|||
There's nothing I could tell you
That would bridge these two worlds
There's so many moments we missed
It makes me wonder
There's no going back to what we had
The innocence that we remember
And every passing joke
I'm sorry I might not be what you wanted
I don't see the things you want me to see
Love the way you want me to love
But I love you
And I hope that's good enough
With Jesus Christ on some vapid ladder
Splayed out, so his feet don't touch the floor
Dollars pouring from his side
I am a bystander of chaos
I look into the open mouth of the machine and say
Brutalize me
For who will believe me when i am dead?
And who will trust me while i am alive?
Tell me, what can i do to save a single life?
You say nothing
You have always said nothing
And I know every melting point means no return
So i sit here faithless and numb
And in a sea of crying voices
In the eyes of god
I am nothing
So who will save us now?
