We Find Our Way

We find our way

Through twists and turns

By bliss we wander 

Near grace we learn

We dance to settle 

Sit still to move

Our mind is shallow 

Until it's new 

If death is lonely 

I'll die with you

If birth is holy 

Let's both live true 

So tired of the give and take 

Romance and family 

Our great escape 

Take time to give 

For our souls' sake 

To ones that feed us 

And rarely take

If death is lonely 

I'll die with you

If birth is holy 

Let's both live true 

A story takes me

As it will 

Yours like mine

Is such a thrill 

Let me hear it 

I'll feel the burn 

And hear mine too 

Your pain in turn 

If death is lonely 

I'll die with you

If birth is holy 

Let's both live true 

Judgment’s Just a Mirror

When the melancholy wells inside me 

To rise and spill beyond the boundary 

A line we carve with heroes' names 

Scathes our human earthly ways 

So judge me into boxes tight 

That keep the day out and the night

Til shame will hurt both you and I 

The cries I cry are yours and mine 

I'm just a mirror for you now

So drop those walls 

And fall down proud 

Upon both knees

That need the ground 

Til feet can find you 

Where you're found

You point and stare at rambling men

Who don't know where things start or end 

But listen close and you will hear

The void inside you learned to fear 

I'm just a mirror for you now

So drop those walls 

And fall down proud 

Upon both knees

That need the ground 

Til feet can find you 

Where you're found

But all that's lost

Can soon be found

Beneath the pride 

That keeps us bound

To heroes that hold nothing true 

And Gods that never talk to you

Cuz the rambling man 

Knows more than most 

The children too 

That speak of ghosts 

The unborn world we'll never know

Lives deep inside us

As it grows

I'm just a mirror for you now

So drop those walls 

And fall down proud 

Upon both knees

That need the ground 

Til feet can find you 

Where you're found

A Center I Forgot

When I feel no earth below me

And no God up there to hold me

I know the dark and lonely 

Is slowly taking hold 

The pictures falling off the wall

They fell and broke some time ago

Shattered things and splintered dreams 

Sprawl naked on the floor

Twisted tears fall harder now

The years will take their toll 

But gather them in tender hands 

They're worth their weight in gold 

Pain and peace are wings to me

Two wings that tie a knot

The center holds them gracefully

A center I forgot 

Whirl and spin the time away 

If your heart says to live that way 

Or sit so still eyes open wide 

And take the time that's passing by

Pain and peace are wings to me

Two wings that tie a knot

The center holds them gracefully

A center I forgot 

Falling fast they fade away

All the parts that shouldn't stay

To let them go is peace and pain 

Held forever in refrain

Pain and peace are wings to me

Two wings that tie a knot

The center holds them gracefully

A center I forgot
