Quicksand
05:36
|
|||
life with you is an attack
I try to speak but you scream back
isn’t your throat is sore from all your keeping score
you’re like a shifter changing shapes
you’ve never shown me your true face
i never knew who i was talking to
you’re like
quicksand pulling on my legs
and I can’t move
you’re like quicksand
filling up my lungs
and I can’t breathe with you with you
you’re like a werewolf when you speak
are you a man or a fierce beast
all your clothes are torn
how quickly you transform
you’re like a vampire in my life
not satisfied until I’m dry
of ever good thing that I find

set all our bruised reeds to breaking
and all our smoldered wicks snuffed out
and how long Lord will we sing along?
how long Lord will we sing?
we speak violence in the place of love
we speak silence in the face of dust
set all their confidence to shaking
we gave them reasons for their doubts
and how long Lord will we sing along?
how long Lord will we sing?

Monsters
03:58
|

falling downstream
I hear your voice
calling my name
and I don't have a choice
I go where you lead
I follow my feet
I hear monsters
outside my door
and they're sniffing me out
I see their fangs
as my name hangs
from their terrible mouths
they're coming for me
with their jaws and their teeth
now they've found me
and I cannot move my legs
trapped my spiderwebs
I feel the gnashing of their teeth
how they devour me

Floodplains
05:02
|
|||
I see the sky blue sky
turn red before my eyes
I pray to God let rain
come and flood this plain
I see the vultures swarm
the bodies are still warm
I swear I see myself
there among the dead
what thoughts run through my head
oh let it rain
I see the towers rise
I see them scrape the sky
and I can hear you speak
but don’t know what you mean
I hear the drums of war
I see that coming storm
I pray to God let rain
come and flood this plain
come wash it all away
pray to God the rain will come
let it rain
flood this plain

In Tongues
03:21
|
|||
my stomach and thoughts
are all tied up in knots
I can’t speak
and I’m speaking in tongues
from the top of my lungs
but it falls on your deaf ears
I’m never more alone
then here beside you now
but I can’t move
from here beside you now
my arms they give way
as they bend and the break
I can’t move
and I'm trapped between thoughts
like hard places and rocks
but you turn your eye from me
I’m never more alone
then here beside you now
but I can’t move
from here beside you now
but if I'm never more alone
then I am beside you now
then why shouldn't I move
from here beside you now?

Joy/Pain
06:00
|
|||
our joys shall pass to pain
as sun shall pass to rain
and pass to joy again
all things pass away
when pain and sorrow come
oh you will not be overcome
the pain that covers you
will be the thing that carries you
when the world falls away
the pillars strong enough to stay
will carry you
oh the towers that we’ve made
no, they cannot hold their weight
let them fall
let them fall

Parallel
06:58
|
|||
lost my way
on the interstate
all these roads
I tried to take
all these streets
where do they lead
tried to take them all
ended up nowhere
all the things that could or should have been
they’re underneath my skin
I am paralyzed
by parallel lives

Pillars
07:21
|
|||
on the bloodwatered banks of the Nile,
i lost my way
my eyes were wide, terrified by
Your terrible plagues
then Moses, he lifted his staff
and he called my name
o God of Abraham, come
to take me away?
O Pillar of Cloud
Pillar of Fire
where are You now
cause I need a guide
my pillars of salt
are scattered behind
burn it all down
burn it all down
on the desert banks of the red sea,
I lost my faith
I saw those horses and chariots
coming my way
then Rameses lifted his sword
and he called my name
is Egypt all out of graves
that you’d take me away?
BURN IT ALL DOWN
