Where are You now? I'm not angry, just asking
Because I want to believe and I think that I still do
I know that You have power, I've seen the way it manifests
Use it on Your servant, put breath in this chest again
Because I know that You're still there, I feel Your presence every day
Painting on the walls, growing in the gardens
So why am I so scared? I feel weaker now than ever before
This body that You gave me in faith, I've wasted it day after day
And I became frail. I rusted in seas of resentment
Calloused and mechanical, I gave up and lost contact
But You took this engine, dismembered its pieces
And I saw through the hole in my chest
That I still have a heart underneath it
Oh my God, won't You come down?
Fix my broken eyes and make me see
Oh my God, won't You come down?
Make a useful servant out of me
Oh my God won't You come down?
Oh my God won't You come down?
Oh my God won't You come down?
I believe, now help my unbelief

A Donner Party in 215
04:18

These shoes have some miles left before their soles wear out
And I'm in a similar state
A little bit worn and not pretty 'round the edges
But my soul is still kickin' like a jackass in the rain
The season's getting cold and the fields are all frozen in the sleet
The fire's burning down so stoke the coals and huddle close for heat
These hands have some strength left before their palms wear out
And I'm not sure I feel the same
I've been so many places that nothing seems familiar
Now I'm anchored 'round the neck in a wasteland that nobody claims
Teach a man to hunt and he'll sustain himself 'till help comes around
But teach a man to drink and he'll drown himself slowly in the dregs of his grief
I've been sitting on train tracks
Just dreaming that they'd take me home
To a place without air drenched in tension
I see lights through the branches
Beckoning me with their hands
"Forget everything, don't even leave a memory"
I look to the stars and reluctantly open my heart
I feel worn and all I want is just to stay here
But the voices outside are less loud than the ones in my head
I can't focus, can't keep it all together
So if I was an airplane, I'd fly just to find space to breath
Without choking on the questions I can't answer
Because I'm weak and I doubt almost every single second
That everything I know could be true when it feels like its
Not
Even angry, just asking why I feel so scared?
I'm catching rubble as the walls start to cave in
But I don't even mind the boulders and kind
It's the dust
I'm not scared of death, just scared of being blind

Who She Was

She said that the world is a box that's too small for me
I can't take these walls anymore
And I can't feel shit except for apathy
I'm like a boat tied with rope to the shore
I used to see people and know them just by looking
Now they collar my throat and cut at my knees
Because people aren't friends, they're just cages to lock me in
And not even you could set me free
I'm just tired of trying, I'm already done
You say that you love me, but is this what you want?
I'll slip into nothing, I'll die in your arms
So I'm calling your bluff, baby, this isn't love
I said "I'll wait till you find help, till you get better, babe"
And she said "but I won't, because there's no help to find"
And I said "why don't you try?"
And she said "because I'm a quitter, babe
And hope only helps till you realize you're blind"
"My body's a hole that I am sinking in
It gets deeper and darker each day
The light in my tunnel was snuffed a long time ago
There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can say"
I'm just tired of trying, I'm already done
You say that you love me, but is this what you want?
I'll slip into nothing, I'll die in your arms
So I'm calling your bluff, baby, this isn't love
And with tears in her eyes, she kissed my lips and she said
That I keep her alive when she wants to be dead
But there's just one thing that I could never understand:
It's that nothing is real, it's always been in my head
She said that the world is a box that's too small for me
I can't take these walls anymore
And I can't feel shit except for apathy
I'm like a house without blood on its doors

I'd give up the earth and sky and every creature in the sea
I'd let everything else die just to feel you next to me
So I fold into your bed and now I'm losing sleep
As I gain my greatest desire, but at the cost of losing me

Candlelight

Hey, wait, is this where I make a conscious change
In direction, so I don't make the same mistakes
Please stay, because I can't shoulder all the weight
Of the implications of every action that I take
Maybe the rats won't eat away my chains
And I'll just lie here and whither away
Hey, babe, is this what you meant when you said
"Fate, always gets the final say"
I don't feel alright in the candlelight
I'm thinking more about the bridge and not the other side
I can smell the kerosene in the air tonight
This place is gonna burn, I'm gonna light the fire
The moon is keeping me awake
But the darkness is only minutes away
So turn off the light and tell me I should stay
That this is just growing up and I shouldn't be afraid
I don't feel alright in the candlelight
I'm thinking more about the bridge and not the other side
I can smell the kerosene in the air tonight
This place is gonna burn, I'm gonna light the fire
I don't feel alright in the candlelight
I'm thinking more about the bridge and not the other side
Every fever-laden dream is lying bare tonight
I don't wanna feel alone, I wanna feel alive
Maybe I'm just a little bit scared to die
Before I find someone who loves me for the inside
Maybe I'm just a little bit scared to die
Because I don't wanna feel alone anymore
I wanna feel alive
Hey, wait, is this where I make a conscious change
In direction, so I don't make the same mistakes
