Life is but a vapor
See there? You know
So make it count
Write it out on paper
Reap what you sow
Only this sounds
Like I am my own savior nailing my story
Upon my own tree in all it's glory
Shine bright my only Maker
This evil will not be down deep inside of me
Come now and make me see
Oh the joys of being young
You're ten years old you live life as you please
Then one day it all has gone
Life slips up and it's my turn to leave
It feels like a midlife crisis at twenty-seven
Not calling this sin selfish ambition
Small reckless child might mind when nobody listens
Pays no attention doesn't remember
The rite of passage life is, she begins then ends
Fast forward moments that we are given
Until we see what Christ is, Beginning and End
Ruler of all men, perfect without sin
Oh the joys of being young
We're just children playing Fox and the Hound
Reading books in my mother's lap
Laying in that green Georgia grass

Somehow the phrases of the story
Will find a way to let you down
Bought all our prayers and sold our glory
To make a movement make a sound
So let's begin listening
To all the thoughts breaking in
And let our mouths make some sense
'Til it ends 'til it ends
And she reminded me
How the days they melt away
Looked like a fly and spoke like a dragon
To make the smoke slowly exhale
So let's begin listening
To all the thoughts breaking in
And let our mouths make some sense
'Til it ends 'til it ends
Until it ends until it ends
Until it ends until it ends
Let them in let them in
Until it ends until it ends

Breathless lies I let in
Helpless my mindset is
So tell your heartbeat fight until the end
Failure walks beside such ill weak men
I might be paralyzed just from fear
While I stare at eyes under here
I have hope only when I can sleep
Shadows hold me still and I can't sleep
These shadows hold me still and I can't sleep
It seems my soul's still spinning
Hoping when He makes this crooked path
Straighter than the last
I will rest

(I can't help it)
There's a sadness, from some past sin
Makes me something I never thought I would be
Preach this madness, sing this sad hymn
Maybe happiness was never meant for me.
(God help me please?)
Filled with substance, drowned in comforts
Lies that tell me I'm present when I am not
Feel this presence, surrounds us constant
Tries to tell me again and again but I...
But I'm not listening, I'm spent
I want to stay numb, I want to fit in
Such thoughts keep twisting my mind it's bent
Ignorance is bliss. Ignore all of this.
(I can't help it)
He offers peace says, "I'm the true way."
"Call my Name and you'll never know loneliness."
"Mend the pieces, it's a new day!"
What I'd say if I only thought hope exists...
But I'm not listening, I'm spent
I want to stay numb, I want to fit in
Such thoughts keep twisting my mind it's bent
Ignorance is bliss. Ignore all of this.

Swimming in pools of doubt
I wonder what to care about
The story is written as I walk across the page
The evening glows with copper rays
The morning swears to better days
I'll run to find them if I do
I'll bring them back to you
Darling won't you talk to me?
Tell me why my piece was missing
Let me hear what I know again
I was so blind I almost saw
The reason that I had to call you
And as it fades a phrase remains
And on and on and on and on it goes
Don't blame your brother
Blame it on another man
Don't blame your father
Blame it on another man
Don't blame your lover
Blame it on another man

What snares
Are you hiding
Out there
In your onyx
Desert
Thorn?
I'll bet
Here in Georgia
We've got
The appropriate
Response
I am unable
To bring myself to my knees
I cannot bow down to what I see
God let me listen
To choirs of all Your children sing
And face to the ground
My voice will join the singing
Hallelujah!

Infinite, this type of love
Innocently dreaming of
This intimacy, right and good
Even if misunderstood
Suspended in time and space
Must it end? Thy warm embrace
My love, my wife, my Emily
I trust this life will end just perfectly
For having known your love has made me see
No other man could possibly be this happy
No other man could possibly be this happy
No other man could possibly be this happy
No other man could possibly be this lucky

Staring into some devil
Filling that empty vessel
Do you see that in the time you've taken
Only moments in the script you're making
Do you not see that your role's observing
Repetition of the lines I'm learning
They who dwell in dark, decay
Echo!
Downing...
All accomplishments, I will bury
In this hollow earth, I will plant my worth

He gave them two sons like they prayed for, both sent from above
The first spoke in tongues and the second sang in anthems
They could not want more so thankful for this sweet family
But He wanted them to know the heartache that was Emily
"Everything happens for a reason!""But damn this is hard."
"This pain will last only a season be strong and take heart."
"Twenty-Two times we have been reminded and had to ask, why?"
"This perfect Creator would take her, create her to die."
Remember this, your innocent angel's with Him.
"Why her Lord?" (My stillborn)
She is His fifth, pure dissonance
Tangled with her minor chord (Cry no more)
"Your grief was a gift to Myself that you both had to face.
Belief and such trust in My help gave you hope, gave you Grace
To realize in time you'll reunite with sweet beauty divine
In paradise, just not in this life, she's always been Mine."
Remember this, your innocent angel's with Him.
"Why her Lord?" (My stillborn)
She is His fifth, pure dissonance
Tangled with her minor chord (Cry no more)

Are your sorrows giving way?
To make the problem and the pain
Make it easy, pace the change
Save it for when we really need it
We made the problems
You made the names
Showing emotion
Is knowing gain
Gone tomorrow
I will be
Making sure I'll never need you
Let your words forever cease
Exiting the soul that breeds them
You make the problem
I'll make the pain
Show some emotion
The feeling fades

I saw the planets
I heard the stars
I felt the black water holding all the lighted orbs
Measuring time
All the movements of everything
In perfect rhythm
The universal symphony
And just a note
Can one atom bring
I want to praise my Creator
For letting me sing
Hallelujah!
Worthless indeed they are
The ideas I claimed
Dull years of learning how to propagate
The lesser names
My emptiness grows
So that I might be filled
By some hope beyond the close horizons of
The planet I'm in
I Am within me
I am not He
Only a vessel longing to repeat
The Master's hymns
Hallelujah!
I am unable to bring myself to my knees
I cannot bow down to what I see
So God let me listen
To choirs of all Your children sing
And face to the ground
My voice will join the singing
Hallelujah!

Might as well
face it
they know.
our only response
is to
give in.
whats the difference even if they win?
Are we still
waiting
for it
The final war
to end our
sentence
oh patiently
time will teach them
Its overwhelming understanding
what to do with what we have
what we know
Right is wrong when all we are is what we do and what they say
let them be.
