the glow
02:58
|
|||
|
your eyes
swallowed me whole
selfishness has
taken it's toll on me
light
pierces my sides
letting me know
how very small i am
you
you're in this too
you are
you are doing this too
sparks
fly like the snow
specks fall around
the glow of the lamp light
that light
pierces my sides
letting me know
i can be clean again

that stone
05:46
|
|||
|
every time i tried to stand i broke
i broke
i broke
i cannot remember when we spoke
we spoke
we spoke
roll away that stone and let me walk
wrappings i don't need so let them fall off

driving me on
03:30
|
|||
|
again i fall to the depths
the depths of my sin
you beg me to choose
but i won't give in
no, i can't stand up straight
knowing i'm bent
no, i can't bear to start
knowing the end
your love is driving me on
all i have has been spilt
so take what you can
now i see you so clear
i open my hand
food, the richest of food
don't feed me like you
your love is driving me on

the door
03:12
|
|||
|
something's wrong, mother is crying, breaking
the the door is closed, i slide from the wall down, shaking
feeling as small yet as bold as ever
how can i open.. my father is facedown..
it's gonna be light you know
it's gonna be right you know
what can i do, you say there is nothing
must have been hard to tell me you're falling
it's gonna be light you know
it's gonna be right you know

with a gentle breeze
03:50
|
|||
|
you and me gently steered by the breeze
shaded by the faded old cottonwood trees
when i fell
in a dream that is hard to retell
i opened my eyes and said no
i walked through the red woods
wandering, searching for the place where you stood
when i saw
the roots that persuaded my fall
were twisted and twined around you
wake up all you soundless sleepers
with a gentle breeze you will be new
may your eyes forever see the
glory that in printed in your souls

more of you now
03:31
|
|||
|
blistering skin
when you keep all that in
please let go of the fight
please don't hold on so tight
i cannot tell
oh you hide it so well
we need more of you now
we need more of you now
wish i was young again
when you were strong
you could lift me above
all that's broken and wrong
i know you can tell
i don't hide it so well
we need you right now
we need more of you now
i'm set apart
i can smile in the dark
i've been given a heart
i've been given a heart
i want you to know
that i think of you always
i think of you always
i need you to know
