Horses and Graveyards
You
Yeah, You
With those eyes filled with hatred
What do you see?
I’ll say how imperfect I am
And how I’m just a man,
But even then I’m hearing those
False accusations from your tongue
Well maybe you just don’t get it
This is more than a list of broken rules
This is about love
I could say it, write it and send it,
But it still won’t make a difference
To your hardened heart
You’ll hear what you want to hear
For fear of learning the unknown
So, this is it?
This is what drives you?
Well, that hardly seems like something worth living for
Open your mind
Come on
What do you have to lose?
Open your mind
Come on
This separation
Between the closest and dearest of friends
Is caused by one thing:
Your deep addiction to a mask
Who are you trying to impress?
When all their hands have gone,
What will you have to hold?
Make it seem like you’re alright on your own
You’re not fooling anyone but yourself
Truth be told, I’m in love
Let go of
All these grudges
They don’t help
They only make things
Harder
We’ve become so comfortable with who we are
We don’t care if there’s anything more
If anything at all
We’ve become too comfortable
I’ve been at this for hours
And still there’s no
Lifting up of their fingers
It’s just too hard
“I’ll just wait ‘til I’m torn apart”
Well, what if that day never comes?
Enter Through The Narrow Gate
This is life as you know it
With knives in your back
And words you can’t keep
You always told me
(Take another look, see)
That you were happy
The way things were
But you don’t know joy
‘Til you’ve compared it to something else
(Take another look, see)
Something worse only makes
The slightest smile seem like a paradise
(Is this what you want?)
But once you’ve experienced better,
A smile comes so often
(Is this what you want?)
These pictures don’t lie
I’ve seen your eyes filled with tears
Too many times
To let you leave empty
Handed
Nothing’s changed
This could be the first of many
Or the last straw
My fate’s on the table now
You have everything to gain
And nothing to lose
I pray this reaches the right ears
This is all for you
Leaves
These were self inflicted complications
No doubt
The outcome was so clear
But the slightest chance was hope
I thought I’d do more good than bad,
But I didn’t seek consent
What else is there that I can do
that won’t make things any worse?
This is my first, my last
My worst mistake
Still, my flesh is as it was
I can’t change the way that things have gone,
But the way they will go, I can
From this day on
And on and on and on
I’ll be a different man
That much is for certain
I call myself a soldier,
But my enemies are friends
To rid myself of pain and lust,
I’ll have to die to expectations
And I’m ready for that step now
Or at least I’m convinced that’s so
The truth is, I’ve never been so wrong
And so right at the same time
It’s time I practiced what I preach
To be the light I’m made to be
It’s time for a change
Make me pure
Make me new
Make me more like you
