- Curse
am i of stone or flesh
to see You slain again
to watch you writhe and bleed
yet never once weep
I always thought that I would have fought had I been alive
I would have stayed to the end, wept at Your feet, and died by Your side
- It's At Times Like This That I Realize Survival Is Not Enough
These bones, my frame, won't hold in place
They'd leave and part ways
If I was without you
This earth, my home, would be alone
There'd be no moon to share the galaxy
If it was without you
- Shadows
I've heard rumors there is more.
If we venture to the source
It will phantom everything every meager thing to which our hearts are sworn
And they say "shelter's in the fold" and "there's risk in chasing after truth"
But those souls are just cynics
if they claim that we have much to lose.
This is all just sound and fury
- The oil press
I swore I would never walk away
But you knew we were in the dawn of rupture
Oh the unbelief, the prideful insecurities that speak
They hush the You in me, oh forgive me, please forgive me
How many limbs do you need?
Well I can't be your hands cause I cut off my feet
And I'm haunted by memories and phantom unease
- You Became I
I once knew that everything around me leapt for you
And I spoke with fiery tongue of heavens fall and of your kingdom come
The words I was saying were leaving with ease but countered the actions that follow my feet
Oh the seduction of meaningless things
I've been eating from gravesides
Swearing oaths to the fairest of moons
Trading masters by firelight
- Zion
as a bride, blushing bides on the bed for the touch of her love to arrive
other passions call and loom but she will wait for her groom
just the same
I am restless for You
as the vagrant, dreams of vacant lands to plow, and a hearth to call home
but each distance only fails him so he'll keep drifting through
just the same
