I know this means nothing
Words I place in a certain way
My world I know
The questions which consume me
Its all nothing
The symbol
That rolls off the tongue
And rolls straight to oblivion
I will die yesterday
I'm sure I have
And I was born tomorrow
When my hands no longer empty
I hate that I feel now
I live on a world apart
Where even the sky has a name
As I don't
Let the teeth be crooked
Let the hair be thin
Let the bones be brittle
let the heart not beat
Let it be weak
As all I have to give
I know it means nothing
Just a sorrowful tale
Of how everything I know
Is only

Does this body now become a cloud
And drift over horizons
Looking for new mornings
While raining all the world he knew?
Does the sunset hold some meaning
Teaching painful lessons
About how even beautiful days
Ends in dark and dysmal night?
Do my eyes look upwards for the sky
Do my hands dig deeper in the dirt
Do I accept that most of the questions I ask
Will never be answered?

As big as it is
And bigger
I was holding onto suns
And letting go
Of universes
Each inside has an out
An easy out
A darker moon that can crowd our sleepless night
And find the feet to walk
As big as it is
Everything is
I will certainly live forever
And die tomorrow
Again and again
For the first time
And the last
While my mind paints rainbows
On the bottom of the sky
As big as it it
My fingers touch
My hands are all but empty
Holding onto something greater
And feeling the end
In beautiful beginning
The stretches reach much further than the time
And our dreams still more vast than my mind
As big as it is

All the times before
The time is now
Lessons passed from ages
Generations become a stepping stone
And man must learn
It's always a war
We win and lose
These bodies are holy trinity
As histories blood seeps through our pages
What do we know
Haven't the oceans been crossed?
Doesn't the rain fall from on high?
Don't the clouds hold hidden faces?
Will the sun sometimes shine?
It is a blue sky
It is the backs of the slaves
It is our history's tomorrow
Today that we can change
It is the death
And the loss
And the pain
It is our glory
Our redemption
A story we hear time again
But give so little attention
Become our fear from our hope
We have our chance
To make a change
And open our eyes for just the first time
To shine a light
To burn
Burn away the darkness
We have a chance
Or we don't
Man must learn

I find music in the shade
Dulcet notes and summer breeze
The flowers in bloom
The scent of a love in daylight
I meditate on the meaning
All my hope
My dream,
I haven't felt peace in a long time
Forever and the darkest night
The moon behind the clouds
The fear of a shadow lurking
All my ends
My past,
On this day
I find what god meant
When he sent his angels
To blow the trumpets
I find what I lost
When I haven't felt peace in a long time
Yet I find release
I see tomorrow
I see tomorrow
Through the darkest night
I find belief
I find there is love
Inside myself

Now be drunk
Of her great promise
She sits on waters
And rides a beast
She knows only flesh
And pleasures
The waters she sits on
The beast she rides
Are nations
Are multitudes
Are people
Are tongues
She wears purple
And in her grasp
A golden chalice
Filled with only souls demise
And in her crown you feel its greatness
In her esteem you find its joy
Yet in her filth of desecration
You find it's only hell
Do not follow her
Who would lift you with unsavory hands
Do not fornicate
Do not share your godly flesh
She is drunk off the blood
High on disease
Hateful and wretched
And wicked in ways
This ***** of Babylon
May share with you of salt
Her touch a sinful lust
And her wine intoxicates
But when the time draws high
You will share in her plague

I am nothing more to give
I've painted the sky the color of your eyes
And etched into stone your name
Blood of my veins
My love
I am nothing more to give
I've ripped half-drunken at clouds
And spelled your dreams with stars
Heart of my heart
My love
My life
I laid it all down
On the line and at your feet
I sacrificed my skin
My salvation and my sin
I gave it away
All that I feel
That is real
Until now it's no longer me
My fingertips
My heartbeat
My emptiness
The way it is
I am nothing left to give
