Slowly Exploding

Sun streaming in and I’m feeling fine
At the same time I feel like crying
It’s not like I’m lonely, I don’t mind the quiet
I’m not nearly sick or dying
I’m just holding a slowly exploding bomb
It’s gonna get bad before it gets worse
This is the way of all flesh
It’s not like it’s a secret it’s just we’ve been busy
And now we’ve been forced to rest
With this old and slowly exploding bomb
Sun going down so beautiful
Why do we fear the end?
There’s nothing I want more than to be
Right here right now amen
Beneath this golden slowly exploding bomb
Tomorrow I’ll rise just like today
And everything will have changed
but I won't notice if I don’t care
And if I don’t care I’m just chained
To this cold and slowly exploding bomb
Take heart my dear ones take courage my loves
It’s hard and it hurts and it’s real
But everything matters and everything breathes
And we’re not as alone as we feel
We’re all folded into this moment together
and this bomb is a seed waiting for the right weather
To break open with life like we haven’t known yet
Oh the height and the depth of love

Climb up on compassion's lap and have a good cry
Don't be afraid to tell her how you're afraid to die
Everybody feels it
no matter what they know
everybody wonders
where their last thoughts go
Shhh, shhhh
A pile of poached ivory burned in sacrifice
Some things should not be bought or sold at any price
Every year's a circle
Every day's a spin
We're angel demons dancing
On the head of a pin
Shhh, shhhh
Maybe like an aging star you will expand
Grow brighter, hotter, stronger before the end
Dive down to the deeps of doubt, let the dark surround
Lose yourself where you started out, wait to be found
Let the waves wash over
let the great fish come
be swallowed whole
by this strange new home
Shhh, shhhh

Luminescent
03:21
|

|
I'm the glow after the blaze
More subtle glance than open gaze
I’m understated
not overrated
i like my coffee black
i like a strong dark beer
and if you want to be sweet with me
be bittersweet
I've been singing in the shadows
from the day that I was made
I’m luminescent in the moonlight
but in the sunshine I just fade
Don't cover me in kisses of pure joy
I cannot play along
mix them with tears
be salty sweet
My daydreams never hold a candle to
all the beauty I dream in the dark
Keep your sparkling diamonds
I'd rather have stars
I can’t tell you why I’m like this
It’s just always been this way
I’m luminescent in the moonlight
but in the sunshine I just fade

Angel

Hold me while I freefall
while the winds of death squall
Keep me in your vision
Carry me to paradise
Angel
Let me sing forever
Where the clouds can never
Take me from your vision
Carry me to paradise
Angel
Angel
Lead me from this dark cave
Sail me cross the light waves
Fill me with your vision
Carry me to paradise
Angel
Fly me through the shadows
lift me from the cosmos
Add me to your vision
Carry me to paradise

Trouble

trouble don't know your name
trouble don't play no games
trouble
trouble don't understand
trouble just holds your hand
trouble
oh trouble rest you now
poor trouble lay you on down
trouble got no web to weave
trouble got no plans to leave
trouble
trouble don't hold a grudge
trouble just pulls the rug out from under you
oh trouble rest you now
poor trouble lay you on down
trouble don't, trouble don't, trouble don't, trouble don't
trouble me
please
trouble just rides on through
trouble don't have a clue
trouble
trouble don't got no charm
trouble don't mean no harm
trouble
oh trouble rest you now
poor trouble lay you on down
trouble just trouble just trouble just trouble just
let me be
please
trouble don't sit too well
since that day he fell
trouble
trouble don't know
trouble don't care
trouble don't feel
trouble's just there
oh trouble rest you now
poor trouble lay you on down
trouble don't trouble don't trouble don't
trouble me
please
trouble just trouble just trouble just
let me be
please

Sleeping With Sorrow
03:28
|
|||
|
We’re all traveling through time but we’re stuck on this train
In its one-way track that circles back
Through the sins of our parents, the rage of the ages,
The trails of tears and the way of the world
Oh, at the heart of the belly of the beast
Oh, there’s an embryo crying for peace
There’s a song that will linger forever amen
Through all hearts and minds through all space and time
Some call it nonsense, some call it lies
Some close their ears like they’re closing their eyes
Oh, it’s a love song for every last one
Oh, when you sing it you lay your life down
Who’s to say what’s to come, who’s to know what we are
In this blink of light wrapped in darkest night
Are we sleeping through life, are we dreaming of death,
Are we falling stars or rising suns?
Oh, joy will come in the morning I know
Oh, but tonight I am sleeping with sorrow

Through the Spring
03:34
|
|||
|
I’m not so hot, I’m not that cold
I’m not too young, not very old
All the trees are smiling down on me
Here’s the wind it’s laughing around me
I will sing these love songs anyway
Can’t you feel how it goes?
Aching down to the bones of us
Summer sighing while winter waits forever
Everybody dreaming through the spring
It hasn’t rained in many days
I love the sun but not the blaze
All the squirrels are telling dirty jokes
Haughty in their homes of sturdy oaks
I will plant these flowers anyway
Can’t you feel how it goes?
Aching down to the bones of us
Summer sighing while winter waits forever
Everybody dreaming through the spring
