Two Dogs

Two dogs facing across the river
I can’t feed them both
One lives longer than the other
Their partner to die under the moon
Two paths crossing over each other
Which one am I on?
One dream lacking in self-reflection
I’m lost yet again under the moon

Love, Outlive Me

When my days are coming to an end
and I surrender to the pull of the unknown and unalive
Hazy in the trip of it all
Touching hands with those I love
The sting of making peace in final leave
All I am and all I know is in this home
What’s left beyond my thin skin and old bones?
I stand back and watch the ceiling start to fall
Will our love be caught within these ageing walls?
I must believe love will outlive me
I must believe love will outlive me
Putting all I have into reviewing life in latitude
Renewing strife with gratitude and grace
Set the table made the bed
Whispered secrets that I fled
And after it was said
We held embrace
All I am and all I know is in this home
What’s left beyond my thin skin and old bones?
I stand back and watch the ceiling start to fall
Will our love be caught within these ageing walls?
I must believe love will outlive me
I must believe love will outlive me
There must be more to life than body
I must believe love will outlive me

The Ebony Room
03:53
|

I’m falling into you
I will become you
Maybe I am
The ebony room
Water in my womb
I am, I am you
Hesitate to touch you
Nay, you let me touch you

Unholy Power

Half the time I don’t know if I’m happy
Other times, I don’t feel a thing
And I wonder if there’s a reason
I really hope it means something
I used to pray to God when I felt lonely
I swear I could tell him anything
It’s hard to look and see the changes
Of who I am and who I’ve been
All my friends will say that I am tired
But the truth is I’ve been tired my whole life
Looking endlessly for answers
Proving myself wrong and right
Is there a point in trying so hard?
I’m tugging at the roots of my tired hair
Tighten my cling on this old dream
But I don’t have a clue what’s happening
I used to think that I was something special
And I used my charm like some unholy power
But now I see I’m made of human
And now I am stronger than before
There is a point in trying so hard!
I focus on the reasons why I care
Loosen my grip on this old dream
I don’t always need to know what’s happening

When I think about my childhood
I can understand why I would
Run away from all the faith that I could
Saving me from saving grace and being good
But am I still good? But am I still good?
I will listen intently to the verses that you’re speaking
‘Cause I am truly happy you have something to believe in
Part of learning who you are is finding what you’re missing
But sometimes it’s not missing you
How do you know the bible is the right book?
What if there are answers where we don’t look?
Everyone I grew beside believes they’ll win
Eternal life if they repent from their sins
But I just can’t justify it… So, I quit
I will listen comfortably to the verses that you’re speaking
‘Cause I am truly happy you have something to believe in
Part of learning who you are is wondering if you’re missing
And finding you’re not missing a thing
