As steady as my hand is
As sure as is my shot
I can’t keep my heart from wanting the things I haven’t got
for as much as I love you
Feels like my heart might burst
There is nothing I can give you
You did not give me first
And all of these words
Don’t mean a thing
How can this beggar who’s barely so wn together
Be the child of a king
For all the goodness of my intentions
Despite motives both true and pure
I admit there are still some times
I forget your here
And there are words I can hardly utter
but they’re the ones I need the most
I need to grasp the hand of a father
But I’ve always thought of you as a ghost
And all of my beliefs
And all of my songs
All of these moments of brief revelation
Are the truths you’ve known all along
If it pleases my lord and king
To spare a needle and some string
On such an old and tattered thing
I’ll lye as still as i can be
And let you patch what’s left of me
If it pleases my lord and king
To spare a needle and some string
On such an old and tattered thing
I’ll lye as still as i can be
And let you patch what’s left of me

I’VE ALWAYS HEARD THAT LIFE WAS LONG AND HARD
WHEN I’M DOWN HERE AND YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE
I TOOK A GAMBLE AT THE END OF MY ROPE
I TOOK A CHANCE THAT THERE COULD STILL BE HOPE
THIS IS THE CRY OF A DESPERATE MAN
A DRIED UP ROOT IN A WEARY LAND
IT’S A HOME IN DISREPAIR THAT NEEDS THE BUILDER'S HAND
IT’S THE LOVERS WHO ARE PARTED
WHO KNOW THEY’LL MEET AGAIN
IT’S THE LOVERS WHO ARE PARTED
WHO KNOW THEY’LL MEET AGAIN
I SWEAR I LOVE YOU EVEN WHEN I DON’T
MY MIND KEEPS DOUBTING BUT MY HEART IT WON’T
THIS IS THE SON WHO SHAMES THE FAMILY NAME
THE CHILD AFRAID TO TOUCH THE LIONS MANE
IT’S THE SUN AND MOON THAT RISE AND FALL EVERYDAY THE SAME
IT’S THE KISS BETWEEN THE MAN AND WIFE
IT’S THE REASON THE GUESTS CAME
IT’S THE KISS BETWEEN THE MAN AND WIFE
IT’S THE REASON THE GUESTS CAME
IT’S SO EASY DOIN THE HARDEST THING
I’VE EVER DONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
LETTING GO JUST FEELS LIKE BEING BORN AGAIN
WITHOUT THE WEIGHT OF MY SELFISH PRIDE
ALL I ASK IS PLEASE JUST HELP MY UNBELIEF
BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT’S NOT OVER YET
LET ME HEAR YOUR WORDS
WRITE THEM ON MY HEART
BECAUSE I KNOW I WILL SOON FORGET
YAH I KNOW I WILL SOON FORGET

When you came to me I said
Let me bury all my dead
Let me mourn for all I'll soon have lost
You said there's nothing here for you
Just look at all I've brought you through
You've got to lighten your load if you're carrying a cross
Oh my God I’m so small
Oh my God I’m afraid of everything
If you could stand to see the scars
I would let you have my heart
But there’s a part of you I feel like I don’t know
There’s a little boy inside
Who wants to run and hide
But he’s needing just to be held in your arms
I can hear those old church hymns
but the sound is growing faint and thin
There's so much chaos circling around my head
The world was light, I was a child
My hopes were free and running wild
I swore I wouldn't grow up but I guess I did
Oh my God
I’m so tired
Oh my God
I’m disappointed by everything
If you could stand to hear me cry
I would weep away the night
But I’m afraid to face the darkness in my soul
It’s getting easier to turn away
I see so much pain everyday
I don’t even feel it anymore
Some mornings i think i hear a song from long ago
Then in a moment it is gone
And I don’t know where it goes
When you came to me again
You were like an old familiar friend
Maybe you could set me free again

Bring Us In (Ft. Kohns)

Bring us all in
All of us in
Bring us all in
All of us in
Stumbling’ drunk through the streets
a generation prophetic in its verse
With minds that are staggeringly free
Drowning in the emptiness of words
Exposing their bodies like pagan temples
For strangers to enter in and worship for the night
Fleeing at the sight of morning’s light
Bring us all in
All of us in
Bring us all in
All of us in
Lying restless in their beds
And burning down the wick of raw desire
Praying prayers that are cold as a tomb
And burning with the pentecostal fire
Binging and purging on joy and sadness
Peering long and hard into the mirror of the past
Believing what has been is what will last
Bring us all in
All of us in
Bring us all in
All of us in
I live in the middle of an ocean
In the middle of an island
And I’ve never seen the ocean
All I’ve ever known is dry land
It’s strange to be so busy when you know that you are dying’
A friend of mine once told me
Love follows devotion
And it’s hit me rather strangely
But I’ve entertained the notion
Maybe I’m empty of love ‘cause I’m hopelessly devoted
To proving the hypothesis there never was an ocean
But the closer that you draw to the salty ocean air
You can hear the words carried on the wind
Like a fragment of melody from a long forgotten hymn
Bring us all in
All of us in

You are everything I ever wanted
And a thousand other things besides
I could go on describing you till the the breath leaves from my lungs
And never once run out of things to say
Your story is the greatest ever written
From the beginning to the end I see your love
The wonder of all wonders is I'm in the tale at all
get to be together in the end
You bring songs out of the silence in the cavern of my heart
you are my home. you burn inside my chest until I'm where you are
You are the true love I've always wanted
You found me naked sleeping with my pride
You broke the bedroom door down and shouted "my beloved"
I thank you that you would not be denied
I thank you that you would not be denied
You bring songs out of the silence in the cavern of my heart
you are my home. you burn inside my chest until I'm where you are
In the shelter of your love I am free
There's not a trace of who I used to be
