Hello my empty.
How are the lies within my veins?
How are the ashes of that truth,
Spouted to me with the eyes of conviction?

Come with me...take your hands from your eyes.
The same hands that shaped me,
Took me, shoved me, stole me
And told me everything would be alright.

Withold your truths
Withold your lies
Withold your complacencies
That covered my eyes.

And now we're dying
And we wonder why.
Take your hands from your eyes
And wipe the tears you cry.

Withold your truths

As she walks across the room
     Somehow calm,
I follow with abandon, without reservation,
     Without hesitation.
Does she know? Does she realize?
     The sense of freedom and wholeness I feel
     Spans a lifetime in one second.

As she walks across the room,
     Somehow oblivious,
Her movement somehow timeless.
     A lifetime in one second.
I worry that we don't have enough time.

Why is it so easy

To lead you towards consistency?

To lead you to my kind,

I’ll remove all doubt

To show you what you should be.

Deaf, dumb, and blind.

Now you’ll see things differently.

I’ll keep matches and cigarettes

In my front pocket.

I don’t smoke, but you never know who might.

Like a trail, the nicotine will find you.

I’ll keep one lit so you find it.

One day you’ll go to a park.

And this time you’ll cross your legs

Towards him.

You’ll want to be there. Not like before.

And he’ll have the courage to ask you again.

Wade with me

And our shoes will fill with water.

Step closer and we’ll move toward what’s farther.

Wade with me up to our knees.

And we’ll see our clothes dampen.
