i can feel the space between our hearts
in the earth beneath my feet
and know that where emotions lay
distance will never steal
into your night like i would
and i'll be there while you sleep
if you close your eyes
feel my chest, hear me speak
i'll trace patterns through your dreams
the spaces distance cannot steal

A little undisputed
But I never liked your words
You got your point across, yeah
But the point dug in and hurt
Words could scar me
Almost as bad as my arms
Still, did you imagine
What you'd say and how
Or when you sat me down
Did it all just come out

I really can't blame you
Of course it had to be done
You pointed out the flaws of mine
Slowly, one by one
And given is this chance to me
To change at once, for good
I won't really thank you though
Your ideas changed me enough
I'm now just a poor boy
Sore heart, but living new

What is it with kids these days
What's with the way they seem to love to pray
Asking for help, don't you know there's other ways
This'll sound horrible, and that's really a shame
But honestly, does your God know a ******* thing?
What in the world could make you think
That maybe he didn't just run the hell away
Are there really any signs besides what you say
'Oh, he's there, you just can't see him, it's faith'
But I'm calling ******* to all of your ways
You can judge me, it makes no difference to me
I choose to put my faith in people I can see

He left us alone with all of our thoughts
Broke was my heart by God
Making these moments so distraught
Oh, The things he'd say
Oh, this was not the way we were made
But you created us
Why can't He just see
If you leave us alone to ourselves
We'll just burn it all down

There's plenty of people that believe in God
And yeah, I guess I do too
But I've questioned Him since Paradise Lost
I began to wonder if it was all true
If He was so real, then what's going on in life
When to look around and all that you see
The sickness,  the sorrow and strife
Really, it brings cold sweats in me
So I lay in my bed near middle of night
Pondering away these nothings
If God was so real why wouldn't He show me
Instead, I'm left alone with my thought schemes

Not quite eighteen so time's still a lot
But not quite sure how I'll use it
Should I spend what I have as I keep going
Or take from the past and put it forward
I think too much and maybe
I laugh too little but
Time has told me to plan ahead
Several months have aged me beyond what I was
Seeing things now for what they are
Instead of what I want

I think that I'd **** to feel the breath of day
To feel Wind's whispers on my skin
But alas, my emotions have become so lethargic
To feel must be such a frivolous sin
I've almost become numb to the ways of nature
Because nature is hardly to be seen
And now at the end it's a rarity, I'd wager
That eventually we'll have to pay to see green

It's hard for me
To understand
How we all think
We've got time on our hands
We like to live
Like we're dying slow
But in reality
We've never lived at all

There was her hair and it looked to me so perfect
And there were her eyes as they looked at me slowly
Her voice in my ears; her hand on my arm
It's the day I remember, her smile shook the sky
Could she see the way I felt and thought
I couldn't just hide it with all of my might
After all, she had been the one
That opened all the doors to the idea of love
But here we were just sitting, talking
And that was as far as I'd know

It wasn't for lack of wanting
But maybe just lack of need
A boy with a mind so hopeless
I was someone she just couldn't see
She always knew I was there though
And she even almost chose me
But eleven months to the day she said no
And two years and a half I've loved her
It doesn't matter, I'd rather still be alone
Then find anyone else besides her

You have loved yourself and no one else
And you see what it's doing to others
When all they want is to offer you help
A younger you felt your mother
Use her fingers over shoulder blades to trace
The spot where she figured angels insert wings
But now, grey and rough is in their place
Broken skin, pale face, the blood it brings

To see them on the streets and they look coldly
Upon you as you're beaten and grow older
And you wonder sometimes have you fallen from grace
Oh, the feeling it gives you at times
To think that you've come from a greater place
Perhaps it was such a great escape
What if you passed, fell through Heaven's lace
What's it like, dear, to be an angel incarnate
