Poor Seeds
if there’s some light inside,
it’s from a star that diedº,
campaign to sell your life,
but noone wants to pay that price.
Dont front,
I know you want to save me…
but it’s the knife you hold,
and it’s my life you sold.
if there’s some will to fight,
he’s on the other line,
And if this weight’s too slight,
here, [here] take the soldiers plight*..
Dont front,
I know you want to save me…
you're crying “slow your roll”
you're crying “save your soul”
but what is your four year plan?
see how much I can stand?
Poor seeds in flower beds,
Those dreams are in your head..

Sunrise in the Dark / Frovv The Future
Now I see what you wanted from me, goodbye!
someone ought to signal “godspeed”
with my right hand clenching your left inner thigh
and my left hand drives the machine.
You try to pull me under with your cannonball speak,
You kind of make me wonder what you wanted for me,
But I see…
Tonight.
Don’t make believe,
I can still hear you weep…
You and I packed our bags and drove east,
just singing “I ain’t ever had a plan*” (cool it!) I don’t know what that means,
with eyes rolled back in hyperbolic sleep,
I am tired of waiting for the ends to justify the means. (work no work for free)
You try to make me see you, but you're hiding from me,
You try to make me see through, but I want to be seen.
What does it mean, tonight?
Don’t make believe,
I can still hear you weep,
Don’t make believe,
I can still hear you weep,
in a heart beat heart beat heart beat heart beat
Oh! big river! Won't you keep on running southº bound?
Oh! tall mountain! Will your white peaks tear through storm clouds?
Evergreen forest! Will your roots dig deep under ground?
Old Wide Ocean! Will you wash our bodies outbound?
Holy Spirit, got power, love, my minds sound,
Oh sweet Jesus, won’t you keep my head out storm clouds,
Heavenly father, won’t you keep my feet on the ground,
All my children won’t you keep on running homebound,
Keep on running keep on running keep on, run! Don't slow DOWN!

Stand in the Way of / Chekhov’s Gun
I AM* sent a man
he came with the blood
so we all won days hell waits
close wicked tongues
like when we were young…
once the weights all gone its unbearable, unbearable (to me)
once the weights all gone its unbearable, unbearable
I, I waking from a shell
I, I this is how it ends
I, I roses for the dead
I, I broken promises
holy, son of man
with the sword in my hand
for now, we are primed to go overboard
but a second time,
we will rise
once the weights all gone, will you care at all, at all, at all (for me)
once the weights all gone, (once the weight's all gone) will you care at all, at all, at all
I, I'm coming for the dead
I, the broken and the damned
I, (fractured) for the world
I, but they never heard...
your story God’s chosen Son
Liken we to one,
What have we become?
hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

A Minute Before Hiroshima / The Death of J.R. Hopper
torch the womb
of the earth
fill the dirt
with tears for the sediment*
/
pull them from
their wedding beds
to fill their heads
with lies
what else should I say?
what else should I do, huh?
to live is christ to die is.....
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
The seasons change ; but I don’t care
Thoughts rearrange ; but I don’t
Yah... I don’t care...
xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx
Send the son back to earth
show us what were worth
I am from the dirt to the hearse
I am from the dirt to the hearse
but you FIRST

DivorcEMademestrONger / Ordination
I've been cheated and left for dead
it's in my head
it's in my head
I've been promised and broken instead
it's in my head
you know, it's in my head
I want to choose you
but I always lose
my sweet heart
I got lost in America™
just sleeping inside of a van (shshshsh)
nobody told me what was hidden beneath me
was a terrible horrible man, ‘cept you (it's true)
I want to mend
but I always bend
my sil·hou·ette
[badass tambourine solo, praise frickin YHWH]
you try to end the cycle of defeat
that’s chained your hands to the monument
of your selfishness
but all the things you learned in school
and all the status and the gold it don’t (mean shhh) / (exist)
to a sinking ship.
but all the broken symmetry (all eternal)
you watch it go to let it be (all eternal)
and all the words I spoke (all eternal)
In hope to fill an empty hole (all eternal)
Burn your ordination, please! It’s time
you refused to walk as christ, and see that I
I am your son, I'm on my knees, Joshua, lives in me

Diversified Investments In Eternity (DIIE)
Rent to own,
your 401K, lifelong goals,
weather you retired before you got old, or never...
cut close to home,
just smelling salts and pheromones*,
you shiver when you cry, you don't really know why, but you go get her.
even if you're on your own, weathered with your tired old bones,
I want you right (x5)
Lie awake,
and stare into negative space,
a dull florescent light (like a thief in the night) is buzzing in your skull,
Braille bibles,
written in a dead language,
crying from the stucco on the ceiling.
even if you're on your own, weathered with your tired old bones,
I want you right (x5)
You hold my life together, and I believe you'll never change at all,
I'm in your arms forever, no-matter the change I know you'll make it right.
I want you right (x7)
I’ll make it right (x3)
Do you receive the word of truth like a mirror?
Don't stake it all,
for something small,
your words are life,
come set me right,
come change my mind
I'll make it right (x10)
