Kiss that Holy Ghost

Glistening eyes and fairytales 

Took in my fragile heart 

You knew just how to tend my wounds 

And let me fall apart

The hope of love, it carried me 

Above the pain I held so deep

I thought you'd finally be the one 

To open up the cage for me 

So I gave you all I had to give 

And listened as you walked away

That you had to leave me now 

So I could fix my twisted ways 

The parts of me you wouldn't hold

Whisper gently in my ear

The one who loves you most, my dear 

Is the only one you shouldn't fear 

 

It's time to start the journey now 

To love the one who loves you most 

So take your time, my love 

To find and kiss that Holy Ghost 

Take the Chance

I had to break through all the doors 

That kept me locked in tight 

So I clawed my way through the earth 

Until I found the other side 

Out in the open air 

I finally felt the wind 

I'd lost the walls that kept me bound

But she was blowing me around

I drifted far and wide until

The sand slipped through my hands 

So I sunk my toes into the sea 

And with open arms

She swallowed me

Beneath the swell I was home

But I couldn't stay for long 

I had to mind my breath at last 

I knew I had to take the chance 

A Longing I Could Never Satisfy

I blew the weather vane

And watched it spin around

Can't slow it down now

I can’t slow it down

I've always been good at 

Rushing right in 

With words lit on fire 

Despite where I've been 

The river tears through the earth

So fast and hot and wild

It can't seem to reach that cool ocean 

It so yearns to find 

I wonder when the brakes 

Began to fail me 

And the passion turned to fire 

When what was good 

Became a longing 

I could never satisfy 

The river tears through the earth

So fast and hot and wild

It can't seem to reach that cool ocean 

It so yearns to find 

The moon, it seems to calm me 

And shows me the river deep inside 

That's been painted on my body 

In these delicate blue veins of mine

A Fairytale about a Girl

There once was a glass house 

That stood in a field of sunflowers

One day a young girl with long flowing hair 

Found her way there

She didn't know when she closed the door 

Just what would become of her

As the lights danced through the screens

She fell into a deep sleep

When she awoke she found 

That she couldn't break free

She became a paper white princess 

Locked in a cold and shiny place 

Redwoods grew around her frigid house

And shielded her from the sun 

She played and laughed alone 

And lit a bright fire to keep her warm 

She became a redwood siren 

And sang deep into the night

One day she got lost in the dark

The tinder in her heart wouldn't light 

So she fell to her knees 

And she cried, and so she cried

She became a savior seeker 

As she peered into the dark

She knew that love was out there 

And she searched with all her might

But she had forgotten 

That the one she loved most was deep inside 

She turned that love around 

And broke the one-sided mirror

After the storm had passed

And the clouds opened up again in turn

She stretched her tightened body 

And began to hear the wind 

Once again she looked ahead with open eyes 

Just like a child with bright open eyes

As she kept her eyes wide open

And listened to the song of her soul 

The glass of her house began to shake

And as she danced the glass began to break 

She stepped outside the foundation

Of everything she once knew 

As she felt the sun and rain again

The shining light within her grew

And she became the light within

She became herself again

And the shining light within her grew 

The light within her grew
