Accepting love by faith—
It is not something for cowards.
I won’t lay down in safety
I won’t listen to their whispers
I will walk among the thorns
I will sing lions to sleep
How can I rest peacefully
When all of my blood is screaming?
There is something I believe in
And I will not stop until I reach you.
Falling stars light up the sky
It's never too late to try.
And phoenix birds aren't scared of fire.
It's never too late to rise.
Lady, please don't cry.
Rest your aching head.
Others, they may dream in white
But you dream in red.
Flowers grow in garbage heaps.
It's never so much it'll make you sink.
When you live your life with passion and love,
You're bound to draw a little blood.
Lady, please don't cry.
Rest your aching head.
Others, they may dream in white
But you dream in red.
Others, they may dream in white
But you dream in red.
The faith in your heart
Was beautiful and pure.
It moved me
Into wanting to know more.
Then you fooled me
Into walking with you.
The you schooled me
You taught me how to live and what to do.
But now I must walk alone.
There are things I must find out on my own.
And if you stand beside me,
You know I'll be grateful to you.
And if you leave me stranded,
You know I'll still do what I need to do.
I'm trying to find out who I am.
I'm trying to find my own way to stand.
I tried on
Religion and philosophy.
I tried on everything and everyone but me.
I was repressing
To satisfy and play a role
Then I started digressing
From the hot poker in my soul.
But now I must walk alone.
There's things I need to find out on my own.
And if you stand beside me,
You know I'll be grateful to you.
I hate to have to leave you,
But still I must do what I need to do.
I'm trying to find out who I am.
I'm trying to find my own way to stand.
I’m getting used to the sting in my eyes
The anchor in my stomach
And the sinister ticking of time.
The push and the pull of your wild heart
Sets me free
But makes me so tired
How long until you hold me?
I never knew that I could be so strong
That I could stand on a rock
That I could love you so long.
I'm holding this light all alone in the rain.
How long until you find me?
But there’s no use in standing here
Nauseous and wet
There’s no use in waiting
If I’ll never be met.
Shame.
Everybody talks to much.
Words are poison that can squander love.
Bitter phrases pierce your memories,
Diluting their purity.
Aint that a shame?
It's such a shame.
Nothing ever stays the same.
Everything must change.
People think they know it all.
About a million books could fill my walls
With ideas, concepts, rules, and thoughts.
It only proves that we all feel lost.
Aint that a shame?
Seems like a shame.
Do we really know anything?
Have we learned a thing?
The only thing worth fighting for
Is love that sings outside your door.
It's the only thing that stays when everything fades.
I found a pretty picture.
It captured our love that day.
I want to crawl inside it.
I want to live there eternally.
Aint that a shame?
It's such a shame.
You traded your love for pain...
All your love for pain.
You should trade pain for love.
What's this at my feet?
It's hungry, un-fed fantasies.
No, I don't want to talk.
The rain is coming down in sheets.
I'd call you, but you're gone at the beach.
Anyway, I don't want to talk.
Your words of splendor and eloquence
Silver coated phrases of decadence
My heart is buried under the weight of your easy confidence.
I waited for your package to come.
It got delayed then never showed up.
Now I don't want to talk.
Waited at the station for hours
You said you'd meet me there, but instead you sent flowers.
No, I don't want to talk.
I don't want to talk.
Your words of splendor and eloquence
Silver plated phrases of decadence
My heart is buried under the weight of your easy confidence.
The dark peace of solitude has it's own beauty, I suppose
But so do you.
No I don't want to talk.
I don't want to talk.
I had a dream the other night about that famous scene in the Matrix. You know, the famous red pill/blue pill scene... What a bizarre thing to dream about out of the blue. (No pun intended.) I felt moved by it so I wrote a little ditty.
Red Pill
I woke up with a pounding head
Feeling like a stranger in my own bed
I walk into empty places
All filled up with empty faces
And I wonder if there's a different life instead.
I'm doing what I can
To figure out who I am.
Have I relented to slavery?
They put it in a pretty package
And spoon fed me.
That's the way they condescend;
They make you think it's good for you
Until on it you depend.
I've gotta strike the root.
I've gotta figure out the truth.
I wonder just how deep it goes
I wonder what I really know
Am I willing to spend everything I have
To get it back?
I don't know.
I hold two paths in my hand
One represents the life I love
And one I don't understand.
Tell me, which way should I go?
Am I willing to unpave every path
And unearth every road?
Do I have the guts
To break every crutch?
I wonder just how deep it goes
I wonder what I really know
Am I willing to spend everything I have
To get it back?
I don't know.
I don't know.
