There might be a smile on your lips
But your eyes are giving it away
You can try and pretend
But there's nothing that the eyes don't say

I stand before you

Bare, bold, naked

To hold a mirror

Against your hatred

A candle lit for love, borrowed light from the Sun
my simple prayer is heard before it is spoke
before it takes form from lips into words.
You always know our hearts, let our hearts be love
a flowing back and forth from creator to creature
and creature to creature in perpetual union.

Here I am
In your crazy ward
You've given me
The nut award
You keep me locked
You haven't heard?
I have a Sword...

It's called the WORD!

I've been chained
Yes, I've been bound
You've tethered me
To the ground
You smeared my
Good name all around
I've "lost my mind"?
NO! I'ts been FOUND!
You can't keep
The Faithful DOWN!

I'm C - R - A - Z - Y !!!
I don't fit in.
An aberration...

I'm C - R - A - Z - Y !!!
I don't belong
To any nation...

I'm C - R - A - Z - Y !!!
Won't play this
On your radio station...

I'm  C - R - A - Z - Y !!!
Guilty By association

According to some
It is a vice
To follow a man
Named Jesus Christ
But
He paid my debt
At such a price
I won't forget
His sacrifice

He healed the sick
The blind could see
Cleansed lepers
Set the captives free
He opened the door
To eternity
If belief in Him
Makes me cra-zee
Then lock me up
And throw the key!

[chorus]

Now, as then,
It's Satan's will
To use his cat's-paws
And his shills
Christ, crucified
On Golgotha's hill
He was shunned
And he was killed
But He ROSE!
HE'S LIVING STILL!

Our cities razed
In Satan's wake
All we've given
He just takes
Though I may burn
On his high stake
Though I cry, oh,
Though I shake
I won't end up
In the fiery lake

[chorus]

As once you saw the man
an illusion of what does stand today.

You cannot fight the tide it will take you away no matter your efforts,
as easily as it did I.

The tide is not there for you to fight
It is in it's nature to devour you whole
What you are missing is your anchor
That very small part of your soul
That piece of you inside the storm
That whispers in the night
I know you are drifting away from me
but I'm strong enough to fight
I'll fight the tide to keep you here
Just bobbing along the shore
I'll fight against the tides of might
So you don't fight no more

I once saw a horse run free
along a lonely stretch of beach
It's hooves continually flicked free
the waters that corralled it's feet

Many sunsets and storms cast dunes
broke are the barriers now
none stand ever so true .

We are all alone from where we view the horses running along the shore.

All this beauty that runs, we are no longer part of this picturesque scene anymore.

I can't bear these thoughts
the pain is too soon
the soul dreams seem an illusion.

We ran till that point from which we began
We became a blur and everything in between.

Much like us, everything
just fell in between the cracks of life and regret, I have tasted it's wine bitter sorrows to be broken in every sense.

All those horses see the truths we so easily mask to ourselves.

Trampled like innocent hearts under hooves.
The foot prints are simply a reminder, running off into that endless sunset .

I know this speaks of goodbye.

And I wish only to be blind to it all
As in love I was once as free as the horses
who in my minds eternal thought
run as freely now as your heart is
Erasing me as the ocean does the imprint left behind.

The floodgates
                      have opened
                  and the tide is high
            the dam has burst
    in explosion
of tear-bombed third eye
      saltwater rushes
           culling dark demons
              from the deep
the most buried
of creatures
awoken from sleep
viperfish and tube worms
                     vampire squid
twirling their tentacles
to summon the id
squelching up
                    impulse  
from sinkholes of mud
primal instincts excavated
                     from tombs
                          of slick crud
Deep-seated fears
have been beckoned to play
to disregard tears
take resistance away
and while blown over
by this twisted abyss
she remembers a flicker
            of the shadow of bliss
      and like a mermaid rising        
up towards surface
                      blue heights
she grasps at the cirrus
leaking tendrils of light
pulling up hand by hand,
in sea-tangled vine
a vague sense of sweetness
flushes out brine
and when she breaks through
                           the surface,
her heart like a sieve
she finally owns it-
the power
       to
            breathe
