You engraved
Only something ordinary
On my skin
My bare feet
I see a symbol in the rocks
I walk on

Every pain
Every step that makes me bleed
Written in chalk
I chalk it up to talc

Your a stain
A mar upon my living skin
My great scar
You a fire
From volcanoes long ago
My lava

Every fire
My lover burns deep into me
Written in ash
Becomes forever

As the flame and as the smoke
As the air

And as the earth

The world is losing gravity
How long can I hold onto the surface?
This turgid turf
These blades of grass
My feet don't know the ground
Without blood

All we ever wanted was to float away
Idyllic in expression and hopeful
As a prisoner

The light that I see can only be the remains
Of dead and dying stars
Figmants of imagination
Relics from the ancients
And our modern prophets seeking profit

The world is losing gravity
I am losing air

All we ever wanted was to float away
And end up in the sun

I would drown in the water
I would bleed in the slaughter
Take away all that ever matters
I can burn in the fire
Watch the stars that expire

Still I

I would blow in the wind
I would know of the end
And give away all that ever mattered
I can relish the hurt
My bones in the dirt

Still

I'll be a man
Not alive
No hands
No eyes
I would see though the miles
I would reach through the darkness
To find the only thing that matters

Still
Its

I'll know your face

My dreams
Are in your head
The way it feels to know you felt me
The way it feels

My hope
Is in your life
The way it feels under your breath
The way it feels

I cant live
Until your hands are finding me
I can't be
Until you find a way

My love
Lives in your blood
The way it feels to be inside you
The way it feels

My heart
Is in your hands
The way it feels to take a beating
The way it feels

I can't live
Until your fingers touching me
I can't live
Until you find a way

Your head
Its all I ever want
Your beauty all for me

Unsteady at the brink of history
Unfeeling hands
Conflicted thoughts
The brother of my brother
My brother
Hates me

This is not my city
This is not my neighbor
This is a stranger
Heart full of anger

Wavering close to the ledge
Eyes can only see so much
We can see the end
Only so many steps
Can we take
Without looking

There is no holy war
Yet wars are raging
In the name of god
Seeking blood

Falling bombs
And silence
Explosions in the street
And silence
Bullets
Death
The religion of peace
And silence

Its a battle lost
In silence


"Guide me now
I'll be not afraid of darkness
There is no God but he
The God of love"

To make this beautiful music
I had to develop callouses
So that you could feel what I feel
As I feel less and less
Doesn't mars shine red in the night?
I'm the night
Pluto becomes a broken heart
And from your abandonment an empty sunrise
To make this music
I had to love you
Forever
All the while knowing
You're love was just a short time
To sing this beautiful song
I had to strain my voice
So that you could hear all of me
As a melody
Stretched thin amongst the scales
As my soul pains to bring expression
And my throat grows  raw

Still maybe and all I ever hope for
This creation
This child of mine
Is something you hold close
To your breast
And even in your darkness
You see a light
Even in the silence
You sing along

Flowers and skin
There is something somehow
Some way to save me
Its always been
I would cover my ears with both hands
And look to the stars
I know they speak to me
I scream to break my silence

I would love to fall
Past the floorboards
The memories
Past the slaughter
Past the pain
I would fall to love

Guide is all I ask
Guide my faith

Lips and eyes
Words and sight
An empty street full of signs
Giving me direction
Come to life
Be my blood
I could be hopeless
And still hope for you

I'll know my faith's a life away
