Over The Hills
02:25
|
|||
Got born again, now I feel old again,
I thought I'd stumbled somewhere true,
these days it feels like life's on hold again,
and I've traveled further than I knew,
over the hills and through the valleys
toward the shadow of death,
it's right over there,
scan the horizon man,
I feel ill prepared.
Over the hills again
over the hills again
over the hills again

Breakdown Lane
01:41
|

Parked in the breakdown lane of life
waiting for a truck to tow me away
watching the whooshing world blow by
on a frozen sunny day
with the windows closed
there's a desiccated rose on the dust caked dashboard
from over a year ago
tired of watching the whooshing world blow by
I rest my eyes and the day just dies
another day just dies another day just dies
another day just

Pretty Good Decision
02:54
|
|||
Back when I was clearheaded,
I was aways scared of losing control,
I held myself in clenches
counting breaths just to settle my soul.
It didn't work too well
but I didn't wanna blur my world,
so I trudged along, alone,
sifting ashes and discovering pearls.
Then the world just ended
and eventually I took the leap,
letting go and getting high and chilling out
turned out to be a pretty good decision for me

Golden Thread
04:07
|
|||
I lost track of the story
I dropped the golden thread
the little flash of light ahead
that tells me no dead end is dead.
Sitting in the dark,
knowing the daylight's always near,
knowing everything is golden
just stupid sad and bored to tears.
So glad I've got this soft dark place to lay,
waiting for the sun to shine inside me
on a sunny summer day.
Nothing's wrong

Shadow Work
05:19
|
|||
I've sinned
I've been angry and unkind
so I've plumbed the depths
in the dark parts of my mind
where the light doesn't shine
and found my way down
to the dark mirror
Beheld myself in stark relief
and found things broken, evil and weak
in the dark mirror
Sifting through the soft black sand
groping for the light of self reflection
in the dark mirror
doing shadow work
I've been doing shadow work
I've done shadow work
and I've seen our base nature very clearly
I knew a girl
who turned the whole world against herself
like a gun
alone one xmas eve
and it makes me wonder
"what the fuck would Jesus do?"
I wonder "what the fuck would Jesus do?"
Glass houses and first thrown stones
leave me with a dim view of a lot of you
I wonder "what the fuck would Jesus do?"
what the fuck would Jesus do?
What The Fuck Would Jesus Do?
Find me sifting through the soft black sand
by the light of self-reflection
in the dark mirror
and there's a dark mirror
waiting for you
go through
the grass is greener

To Be Free
03:39
|
|||
I can put the past behind me
but it's tethered to my chest
so I drag this dread through my dreams
and I try to do my best
I try to be free
Point my shadow straight behind me
always walking towards the sun
but when the sun goes down it blinds me
and my life becomes no fun
but I try to be free
Got this busted suit of armor
that I built to run from pain
but it's only doing harm here
I'd really like to excavate
and try to be free
to be free
to be free
to be free
