When the blood turns to pain
When the words disappear
When the day can't be long
And the night must be dark

When the moon turns to wane
And the world turns its back
When the stars start to die
And the stairs lead to hell

When the root turns to stone
When the bone turns to dust
When the fire that burns
Leaves everything ash

When the sky turns to grey
When the shine turns to rain
When the sun turns to darkness
And all life is death

When the root turns to stone
When the root turns to stone

I will still be alive
With love in my heart for you

It was my hands that made me walk down to the corner store where I bought two forties, a pack of smokes, and a candy bar because I had the change

It was the night when I could see mars shining redder than any stars reminding me of war and why I drink but never taste

It was my heart that made me never want to love again

Some things are made to be broken
Some things are broken beyond repair

God
God
I dont know you
You've always been a stranger to me
A no one
If anyone asked
I would say
You were no one
Still

How I need you now
I need you more than ever
I need you now
I need you

God
Please I ask
Keep me from the end I see
Grant me peace
I don't really know
If you are real
But youre all
I need

On a mountain
We can feel the clouds
Or we can fall

In the ocean
We can swim in waves
Or we can drown

With the fire
We can warm our bones
Or we can burn

In the sky

You love every beautiful part of me
But there is also
An apology for the way I can sometimes be. I want to be love, well.... I want to be

I think
everything
I say
is a confession
                      I sing
                      in praise
                      of your name
                      and lift
                       the song
                      with the wind
 higher
than hands                
can reach                                    
until heaven            
can feel          
the grace
                      of your beauty
I'll only
find peace
when both
heaven
and
earth
hear
the song
               I sing
                             for you

God being dead
And a ninety-nine cent hamburger
We only want our wisdom in chicken
Nuggets of truth
What we value is on a menu
We never stop
We drive thru
The burger king
The dairy queen
The price we pay
God being dead
From a heart attack
Caused by high cholesterol

Since....I was the wind
              You could never hold me
               I could be felt
                          For a little while
How.....I became fire
               You were feeling warmth
                A broiling inferno
                           Leaving only ash
Now....I am water
             You were trying swim
              Dying to drown
                            A flood of loss
Soon...I'll be earth
              Sand and stone of fate
               The earth we live on
                             As our tomb
