I'm caught between myself and her again couching at the entrance She promises to pull me back into the cycle I got out of I'm a bag of myrrh between a bosom of rosemary and lemongrass Down the alley floats a fragrance that I follow - I can't resist it       O she dresses the sheet cinnamon aloe       I'm the bull and a fool to be pierced by her arrow       Like a bird to a trap you would wish I'd know       With her hands on my eyes the trains barreling close Through the lattice, from the window, O observer do you watch me? I'm an old man, but a young naive soul armed with lust, please stop me From the wayward way, I know it's wrong but

Begin to resurrect us again and again A bit too much too soon You'd think if it don't start off pretty Then don't press on in pity or follow through If I'm to have these feelings for you Then why can't I adore you? And be just fine?

August to Land I see the world from my room when the blinds shift And the light pours through and pulls back It reminds me that it can be bigger than, bigger than I am Than a light through a crack But I see a river in my room and my bed is a boat And I cannot leave, I can’t go My heart is bound to the sheets that sail treacherous seas Too much for these broken feet to swim through What does faith feel like if I’m drowning? Do I have to sink to get pulled through? Does anybody on shore know if He’ll waver? Turn a gust to land, show me favor? But men are known to sink their boats in the calmest of waters And we are know

I may be in a well without walls But I wanna stick around for those I love There's no foothold for up above But I wanna stick around for those I love I don't wanna be seen when I climb out Sin lays heavy crown to sole I want family with me now Yet I don't wanna be seen by the ones I love I just wanna stick around for the ones I love I just wanna stick around for the ones I love I just wanna stick around for the ones I love I just wanna stick around for the ones I love

Just like Jonah in        the belly of the whale Asking, "O God of the lowly, when will you deliver?" I'm calling from the depths        in the middle of this cage Of ribs these walls I'm kept        for me there's no escape        In this hour I pray just like Jonah I was shamed and so I hid        in sewn skins to cover sins Am I worthy of your love        after being tossed from a God-forsaken ship Are open eyes and nakedness worth        all the thorns and distance From one already I        wondered if he ever really listened        In this hour I pray just like Jonah                                   just like Jonah How will I g

I see the boats the cars the planes - When they go I'm just watchin' but where - I don't know Where they might take Someone to finally Break free from this rat race and see The dunes the waves the trees All the sights that can't be seen From this balcony tonight I might for once hop aboard Something Sail fly or ride I'll make real these dreams Sail fly or ride I'll make real these dreams

My mama's got a blue van haulin' up the free way Gonna find a place In a small town Ferndale home away from bad men (Gonna) raise her kids that way       In the country       In this backland       Where we don't need dads       Or any sad men       Please you don't need       To feel so bad for       All of us kids 'cause our mother hugged us My mama's quittin' smokes now even though its hard now But if she's gonna make Some money with a man's job gonna need some good lungs That's how bills get paid       With her own blood       And her sweat and       Tears she's savin' for her nightstand       She's made it this far       S

I hate the math . What they always make it say Half my days . Plus not enough is too much space For me to say . How much I always thought your face Keeps the fog . Rolling through and though my brain       I'm in a bubble       And you're not far away               In the backseat               On the riverbank               In my living room               Where I can see you               You've been looking               Out the window of a car               You're not speaking but               I swear you're hands are We've traveled space . Mapping all from our beds More clear than . Our backyards beyond the fence In our heads

I see a canopy Where everything we breathe is recycling I feel our bodies becoming one anatomy In your eyes It feels like a lifetime In your eyes Seconds feel like lifetimes My friends and family I don't think I'd ever need It's in a glance In a moment I don't need them It's in your eyes My whole life is in your eyes You'll never find My whole life was in your eyes In your eyes It feels like a lifetime In your eyes Seconds feel like lifetimes

The view gets wider When we leave The questions never Ending After we've Picked up and are gone To our first home. Or old? Our old home... Constellations Consternation In my head I've destinations I've got great distances This red X Is our home Our new home Our new home
