Facing The Wall

This year if it cares it could take you there
So it goes another year has passed
Hearts if they're warm they wont do you harm
I know this winter cannot last
Wash the words right out of me
Pull up the rug and sweep me under it
I know I'm easier to hide
I am a picture hung up facing the wall
And you see my other side
Doubt turns to fear, and calls you out, then disappears, it's only
A mouth without a face
Everyday I break, and sleep on it, when I wake, it's lonely
Putting pieces in their place
First the trap is set, then I fall into it, then it lays me down.
Some bad luck I guess, or just a bad misstep, it calls me out
And if our lines don't cross, might be a total loss, yeah it weighs me down
But since breath gave birth, to this dust of the earth, we slowly fall to the ground

Healing Or Heaven

Hope, keep it alive, don't let me deny it
Low, can get you so high, wish I'd never tried it
But I did and it does
It's healing or heaven for me
Walk on this water or drown in the sea
My pride is the hole in this boat that is slowly drifting again
For healing or heaven
Feels, like you're circling the drain, like a runaway train, I know it
Even the dust and decay, couldn't keep me away, I'll show it
A little at a time

I Let The Answer Find Me
03:47

The day fell into itself, no legs for it to stand
I'm sinking in these sheets, I'm gonna drown again.
I let the sun rise without me
I let the answer find me, there
there... I let it find me there
Rest my head on this stone, make my bed in this grave
I want to rise again, but I can't lift this weight
I let the sun rise without me
I let the answer find me, there

Like A Pearl

I don't have this weight figured out
Some things I can't seem to live without, live without
I feel called to a simple life
Sometimes I wish I gave it all away
To make this burden lighter
What a small piece of time I hold, there's so little I could do with it
But when it's gone I can hold your hand
Like a pearl hiding in its shell, am I really a part of this
Or just a grain of sand singing for the sea... it's all I want to be
When all you have are words to share
You'd better find a place to hide them all away, all away
So you can leave a piece behind
Or all you'll leave are words written on a stone
That will fade away
When you rest your head at night, try not to think of this cage you're in
Sing the song that you whisper to fall asleep
Because you know that I'm singing too, and everyone who hears us
Will carry us wherever we want to go...
Where do you want to go

Spirits Are Lifted
04:12

I woke up in a spiders web
When I lost my way
My arms were bound and my face was numb
I heard you calling for me
I opened my mouth, but nothing came out of it
After I promised not to let you down
Made a mistake, I can't get out of it
After I promised not to let you down
I fell in to an empty pit
When I lost my way
My legs were broke and my spirits were breaking
I heard you calling for me
Spirits are lifted, and I am forgetting
The trouble I've seen, the trouble I've seen
Spirits are lifted, this grain has been sifted
And we have been spared, we have been spared
Spirits are lifted, this weight has been lifted
Like these chains have been lifted off of me, off of me.
