What's Been Done
04:59

My heart is thoroughly twisted thinking of the things that I should have said
And for the words that did escape my mouth there'll be a hefty price upon my head
Cause it's easy to win the argument when there's no one on the other side
It's not so hard to write about the things that I won't abide by
Cause I've done this to myself
What's been done is done
I've done this to myself
I've shattered all I love
I can't take back all this anger, nor the things I believe are true
But I would take back how I said it all if I could see how it had hurt you
See the problem with being wise as sin, you can't let anyone inside
Cause the time will come, you'll be wrong but all the bullshit you pull you will justify
But I've done this to myself
What's been done is done
Now I'm a stranger to myself
I've shattered all I love
What's been done is done
I still haven't found the answers, no matter how hard I dig inside
And I apologize I'm not the man I've tried to be for all my life
See there's power in stepping through the veil, see what you know is true
It's the lesson I take away with me, though I've lost all the love I had from you
I’m sorry that I let it slip away, but just allow me to explain that it goes like this
What's been done will live on.

As days stretch on break of dawn is understated
As night kicks in the evening's din is wholly faded
The sea and sky are wondering why their child is jaded
And in your eyes the caption why is contemplative
This capture... Is mountains high and deserts wide
This rapture... Is city small and traffic crawl,
where conviction's small but judgment's tall
It's sitting in my living room, it's living in this living proof
This once charade it's no parade, it's not important
It's lying there beneath the air it's struck a chord and...
As dust will fall the people crawl and shout their 'has beens'
It never will become the real at least not for them

Think For Yourself
05:10

You will fight with conviction, but you won't fight with your mind
You will fight with opinion, but you won't fight with your own
You will fight for my soul but only to glorify yourself
And you will fight to be judged fair, but you'll never hold a trial
Think for yourself
Passion will rule your reason
Hypocrisy will rule your nation
I'm black, white, gay, straight, compassion, indifference, love and hate
I'm dark, light, fight, flight, the sun in the day and the moon at night
Our father who art in heaven, please send word by your name
Not through presidents or false prophets nor ancient books, nor claims to fame
Give us back an identity and strike down pretense at knowing your ways
Give us unity and peace and understanding so pure, or give us nothing and let us...
Think for ourselves
Passion will rule your reason
Hypocrisy will rule your nation
I'm black, white, gay, straight, compassion, indifference, love and hate
I'm dark, light, fight, flight, the sun in the day and the moon at night
(Only through our god, could you be saved)
Should the righteous fear god
For they have no sovereign but reason
No guidepost but their hearts
Could letting "love" in your heart give you the right to hate and fear and judge, demean
I read a book once and thought it was real,
had a few ideas I thought I'd steal
Til it got out of hand I was fighting for my promised land
I had soldiers and soldiers in nations untold
Empowered and bold to stomp on the souls of those
Who won't go to the promised land

I could contemplate some better ways to sail the world in 80 days but
I should probably just stay home today while wide awake sleep life away for
I know, that what I know's known yesterday and now is just an old cliche so
Why would you hang on to what's yesterday when all it does is leave you hangin
So I suppose the only way to live is every breath, a chance to give it one shot
Live out loud with every moment give yourself a chance to own it
But leave out fear and hate cause all it does is leave you alone and it just slows
You down, why quit before you have begun and why walk when you can run
Hello to a new day comin over me with open eyes a chance to see that
So much I have to learn's ahead of me and so when it comes I'll be ready
And so I give to you thought of today though tomorrow it may not be so
Don't you, ever keep that love at bay and don't sleep your life away

There's something about the way I feel about you,
it's a stirring in my soul
And every time this feeling comes upon me,
I don't want to let go, but it
Won't fall all in to place like movies move and plays may play,
there's more for us to do
A comment on your grace, the smile upon your face,
and you know that it rings true
Wondering how to get myself through
Show you my love belongs to you
What if you could believe everything I say
Would you know we're better off this way
Two lips, your eyes, your hands on mine it's too much to bear
Your clothes, your skin, it's all in kind and only fair
You're starting to feel it now and it's all just fine to whisper the truth
You've never known a love like mine
This life is introspection
Til you find the right direction
Find love and throw yourself in
This life is letting light in

Brightest Star

Could you believe I'm sorry for, being myself again
Cause all it seems to mean to me, is saying the wrong thing
When you turn to look at me, I turn to stone but melt inside
Have you ever felt it that, what you wish you could share is what you need to hide
Oh, I know, this could all be living in my head
But then you looked at me, there's something I should have said
Oh no, I'll turn away believe what I always have
That I'm just a little boy reaching for the brightest star over my head
Told her I would be her friend, in a way I believed it too
Funny how we make these plans, but rarely do things do what we expect them to
Believe me when I say, I tried to forget, to hide away the truth
But to me your honesty, is a beauty that I couldn't shake from you
Oh, I know, this could all be living in my head
But then you looked at me, there's something I should have said
Oh no, I'll turn away believe what I always have
That I'm just a little boy reaching for the brightest star over my head
So now I've passed this on to you, I wait for the axe to fall
I'll probably start to shy from you, what could you think of it all
Still when all's said and done, I feel I've made the choice I really should have made
Cause now this is an open wound, so it can start to heal and maybe start to fade

All in You

My life has been written as two things
One confidence, assurity, one fear of what the future brings
And I don't remember dreams,
As vivid as they are I can't hold anything
But I do remember you,
You were dancing in the rain
and I remember saying...
Jaw dropped as she walked away
Turned to my side just to say
Damn that girl done struck my eye
Her sway is like a lullaby
Throw myself in and here it comes,
Looks like we march, to different drums
My heart goes in but don't come out
Same sad story they all talk about
Naturally came sorrow songs,
But before too long
Your love came crashing like a wave
Lucky me to get swept away
I'm all in you
I'm all strung out on faith's desire, with my voice to sooth
I'm all in you
And my voice will never tire, saying...

Forgive me, give me all that you can now
I do believe I'm strong enough to be your man
I know I jumped in much too quick
My heart was in it I must admit
Please understand I know just what you're thinking
On your own is easier than pain
But being alone is kind of like drinking
Do you really see truth through the haze?
Life is,
Every breath you take based on the choices that you make
Tell me when you're lonely and I will be your one and only
Every breath you make, it's the chances that you're willing to take
Life can be sure...
Tired excuses and you can't refuse it
Push away something to make room for something else
I think that it's time for a bit of soul searching
Searching for reasons to forgive yourself
When every excuse is just like the last girl
"My life's a mess and I can't deal with this stress"
Well don't you think I know what it's all for?
But I've never downed a chance at being wrong
Life is,
Every breath you take based on the choices that you make
Tell me when you're lonely and I will be your one and only
Every breath you take it's the choices that you're willing to make
Life can be sure...
I'm just askin for a chance to show you not all love is riddled with pain
Everybody at first glance can seem the same
Forgive me, oh, forgive me please for preaching
I know the heart ache has turned you cold
But maybe that plateau you wish you were reaching
Is not something you get til you grow old
Is not something that you can get on your own

red painted room,
barren four walls
laughter once had a face
now its a chasm that strikes from the heart
alone in the house
where you used to dwell
I'm quietly breaking down
and tearing down walls that you built for the kill
silently cursing cause I need you still,
and though I know, this is probably just another heart ache
take it slow...
we bow from the stage
a graceful decline
and though we may still have love
there's nothing to bridge all the cracks in our game
theres no way to tell us what we want's the same

Compassion for Pride

The rain crashed down, I stood in the street
Rolled down bare arms off my fingertips and made puddles at my feet
The street lamps light lit hazed, but the message is clear
I bow my head in praise wishing you were here
I'm wishing you were here
Now I'm crippled and shunned as has always been done to those who perceive
And I hate to bare weakness but I fear that in this, I've lost faith in belief
So don't you say that I've bid you farewell
When compassion reigns you'll see that I've never left
What if we all gave up at once, gave up on the thought that others need
And what if all this world had forward to see was the backs of those concerned with greed
I read a letter that said missing child, I thought, excused what could one man do?
I through the picture to the wind and see what it has lead me too
The pain of having given up, the loss of human faith
Compassion grips on sweetened lips, the cry, "what have I done for this?"
Oh please, don't give up on me...
The rain crashed down, I stood in the street
Rolled down bare arms and reminded of taste, bitter with defeat
The street lamps light lit hazed, but the message is clear
I spend my remaining days wishing you were here
I'm wishing you were here

Wasted Time
04:29

I feel twisting words and have them seem like
They're real, everyone goes, your time is wasted
Tightly, a feeling clenched within my chest when
I see you've grabbed my heart and pulled it out again
Lately I see belief turning over old leaves,
Nothings new, the clock moves onward
What if every word was late and wasted?
I'd be nothing but a wall that you'd go over
And my time is wasted
Okay, I see what you're getting at but,
Let's say life's a bitch and then you die for,
What cause? Here's the truth now yell it out that
Someday, procrastination catches up with you
And my time is wasted here
Now it's life I've tasted in you
No more time to waste in here
To say it plainly what if...
We find ourselves in twenty years still saying we're afraid of it?
How much time do you have...
To see how it's controlling you, reveal yourself, to thine be true
And if you find your peace of mind, throw yourself to your own kind

I was just livin life day by day
Never thought much of anything, never figured life would change
But then you walked on through that door
Now I'm livin and lovin life just a little more
So let me be the one say, and let me be the one to pray for you,
and say to you just live your life the way you do
We trek across this barren plain, if we could do it hand in hand to be,
you and me this ecstasy and now we'll see it
This exultation, my creation, this newer state
Is evidently in relation and quite blatantly
All because and the greatest clause lay in the wake
My heart belongs to you and my soul is yours to take

city's gone to sleep
no one here but me
wander on my own
wonderin why I'm alone
thought it was simple babe,
your eyes held all I need
and though I know you're not to blame
the weight is crushing me
the city's painted heart
reflection of my own
strollin through the dark
it's better on my own
