When I was young I mistook lust for love
Every sweet voice felt like a favorite song
A reassurance on the end of the phone
We'd talk for hours—all through the night
Until the morning dew graced the lawn outside
I long to speak like that again
Seems I have to take my time
How many calls—how many wasted days
In empty parking lots smoking the hours away
Wishing for more but wanting the less I'd take
Now I'm older but age gave no advice
You see if grace hadn't come down from on high
I never would have figured wrong from right
Peace came and stilled my hearts ache
And though tears are all I can seem to pray
I'll reap shouts of joy at the end of the age
Jesus Christ you're more than a sacrifice
A brother I always wanted by my side
I can't wait for the end of time

Go West

Don't have much love for where I'm from
Or wherever I'll end up
I just keep my eyes on the horizon
Looking for a place coming down from above
Swore I knew what I wanted a thousand times
Was deaf to wisdom screaming from overpasses and city signs
Looking for somewhere to call home
But it ain't nowhere we've ever known
So when I die
Don't put me in a grave
Just burn my body
Don't hold on to anything
When I die it will all be the same
However know this
It will all end one day
Wake up with no appetite
Doesn't matter what I did last night
But I laid in bed for several hours
Till sleep grabbed hold of strange dreams
I've got an aim but no direction
A sense of purpose feeling for the wind
Wont kid myself for destination
Know wherever I'll be is where I am
So when I die
Don't put me in a grave
Just burn my body
Don't hold on to anything
We all die
It's something we all must face
However know this
We have been given grace

Sometimes I wake up crying
Don't remember a thing
Wonder what kind of hell
Is going on in my dreams
My languished heart
My tired mind
Are well worn mementos
Of a want beyond this life
If death is but a sleep
And the grave be our bed
Lay me down as soon as You can
I could use some rest
Say what you want
Say what you mean
It don't matter much
If it don't mean anything
Our eyes wander
Like a drunk in the streets
Our conversations
Are like blacked out memories
No point in remembering
Everything and everyone
We're all so touch and go
I know there is so much more
Beyond the tangible
We're promised more
Than we could ever dream
There's a room prepared
For each and every sheep
No matter what dark
Or shade in waking speaks
All pales to a future hope
A present peace
Find joy in suffering
If death is but a sleep
And the grave be our bed
Lay me down as soon as You can
I could use some rest
If death is but a sleep
And the grave be our bed
We will wake to meet again
And finally be wed

I'm losing my taste my touch my feel
I just don't know if anything I've known is real
And I don't know if what I am told
Is all the pieces or parts of the whole
Truth isn't just what it means to you
I always feel so far away
From everyone and everything
Like some thousand miles in between
A time and place
It makes no sense to me
Where I should be
I see the seasons shift and I
I feel the years slip right past my eyes
Through my hands
I've learned not to try for a grip
It seems to me I've had my time
So waking every day comes as a surprise
I do my best to give thanks
For the breaths He gives
And the ones He takes
My eyes are set on the other side
The grave holds no rest just a hard days night
It's not that I want to jump the gate
I simply want to run well this race
Keeping some sort of pace
I see the seasons shift and I
I feel the years slip right past my eyes
Through my hands
I've learned not to try for a grip

Can you hear me through all these years
Or do my words fall on deafened ears
I'll do my best to carve out a space in time
You can come back to from time to time
See i never recognized this place
As anywhere i would ever stay
I'll do my best to feel you by my side
Take in each moment and abide
Though it seems so inconsequential
The dalliance of our younger years
The weathering of our memories
Serves only to conjure our worst fears
Where are you now
Do you remember when
We'd say anything
To get under the others skin
Empty promises and wishful dreams
Bare boned plans and childish schemes
Can you hear me through all these years
Or do my words fall on deafened ears
I'll do my best to carve out a space in time
You can come back to from time to time
Though it seems so inconsequential
The dalliance of our younger years
The weathering of our memories
Serves only to conjure our worst fears
Where are you now
Do you remember when
We'd say anything
To get under the others skin
Empty promises and wishful dreams
Bare boned plans and childish schemes

Owning Up

I am still colored by shame
Though it now holds no say
My heart would speak it's mind
Misled me all of the time
Late at night I would drive
Aimlessly around Gwinnett county
Chain-smoking
Hand on the wheel
No idea what I did feel
I only ever thought
Thought I was in love
It's just a feeling I had when I was young
And I'm older now
Can see how I was wrong
Yeah how all along
It's just a feeling I had
When I was young
I could have sworn I'd knew her
A thousand times before
But every girl I've known
Has left me standing right in the door
Looking back reaching out
Trying to grasp at what can't be found
Holding on to wisps of smoke
As they drift out of my window
I only ever thought
Thought I was in love
It's just a feeling I had when I was young
And I'm older now
Can see how I was wrong
Yeah how along it's just a feeling I had when I was young

I'm choking on my words as I age
My promises never held much weight
You say a lot by saying nothing at all
I've found in the quiet there's so much going on
Years pass like waking from a dream
The horizon holds all the same things
My head and my heart anticipate
The fulfillment of Your promises
What kind of love
Have I been taught
To know no end
Have no cost
Take every pain
Bear my cross
That death's not to be feared
But daily sought
Fighting off yourself is a war
It never ends—no ceasefire
Cast off every weight you can—
Don't look back keep your eyes on what's ahead
What kind of love
Have I been taught
To know no end
Have no cost
Take every pain
Bear my cross
That death's not to be feared
But daily sought
Lord I believe will you help my unbelief
Give me the strength to carry on
Every day I wake there's so much more than I can take
I know I can't see this through without You
What kind of love
Have I been taught
To know no end
Have no cost
Take every pain
Bear my cross
That death's not to be feared
But daily sought

On The Clouds

It's the late nights that settle best
Like an anchor on my chest
Toss and turn without a word
No drink can calm these nerves
So much haunts my past
The emptiness seems to last
Everything is wearing thin
Wonder when this world will end
He'll be coming on the clouds
Keep your eyes peeled
Listen now
For the ethereal trumpet sound
Sleep gives me no rest
I long to walk beyond breath
Each pulse of my heart
Reminds me of a time yet to start
We will meet in the air
Free from worry free from care
He'll wipe away every tear
Won't remember all the pain here
He'll be coming on the clouds
Keep your eyes peeled
Listen now
For the ethereal trumpet sound
The ground will shake
Every tongue confess
Truth resonating in our breasts
I hope to see you in what's next
An outstretched hand an offer made
What cost is there in what fades
There's true beauty beyond the grave
Need new bodies to withstand the weight
An ever brilliant nightless day
A city built by hands unmade
Honest news by all spake
Praise to the living God
Endless praise
He'll be coming on the clouds
Keep your eyes peeled
Listen now
For the ethereal trumpet sound
The ground will shake
Every tongue confess
Truth resonating in our breasts
I hope to see you in what's next

I do my best to say thanks when I wake and mean it
But lately find it hard to say a word
By the time autumns come another year is gone
And those summer highs give way to sober dawns
Warmer months don't give a thing
The cold can't take away
Springtime may speak in whispers but
Shadows are all we see today
So hold on
We'll get better as we go along
And we'll stay strong
Resting in the shadow of kingdom come
I'm not trying to build a life here
I'm trying to walk this path like the edge of a knife
I realize it's not appealing
But we could stumble together until we see the light
So hold on
We'll get better as we go along
And we'll stay strong
Resting in the shadow of kingdom come
