Colors as of Wine

I missed my daughter’s first steps waiting for her to run
I wasted rain on my cheeks wishing for the sun
I’m just striving for something that can’t be caught
I’m stuck in a school and I can’t be taught
Cursing my feet as I wish for wings
You ask me to dance but I want to sing
Looking past the gold leaves as they fall
Dreaming of the sunset that I saw (colors as of wine)
I’m stomping the precious heart I stole
As I reach for a new hand to hold
All my life I was chasing a truth that was chasing me
And as reached for what wasn’t there I finally came to see what
was there
I wont strive for nothing that wont be caught
I can’t sit in a school where I can’t be taught
I will run with my feet and forget those wings
And I’ll dance with you as I try to sing

Broken Man's Song

Heal my body heal my soul
This bitterness is getting old
My feet are heavy my thoughts are weak
But I’ll stumble to the streams where my heart can drink
Cuz it’s as cold as the tears down my face
From which it flows to the pity of my weakest state
So I’ll hold to the comfort of my pain
Till I’m forced to run this race again
I hear the voice of a broken man’s song
His wispy words of a desolate wood
They’re carrying me and now growing strong
Like a garden that grows from ashes and soot
Now I can see the diamond in the dirt
From where it’s shining through the broken glass and hurt
And the silver lining is creeping into view
Till the sun blinds my cynical eyes
So my bitterness has blossomed into sweet
Crushing my darkest dreams and flooding them with hope and peace
And the crackling ice is melting off my heart
Shedding sorrow tears but bleeding tears of joy
What song will you sing when your soul gets free

Fire Against Your Chest
04:28

I cried in the arms of your comfort
Pulling from the pain in my past
The tears that fell on the open wounds
Became the seal for them to heal
My senses numb to all emotion
But screaming to feel something that will fill
The void between who I am and what I’ve done
To erase this urge I have to kill
I’m trying to find something that’s worth sticking around for
And I’m thinking that I might throw on
Some flesh-flavored fuel for the fire
But the rains will come and quench my thirst
So why should I ever deserve the flame
But you can’t carry fire against your chest
And your clothes not be burned

Vagrant

There stands a man with a wounded heart who wasn’t left with
scars on his skin
He bears the marks of the pain he felt from the cards that dealt
his lonely life
But he doesn’t come to find where the truth resides
But to curse and cry just to feel alive
He cracks the door to his vagrant mind for the sun to shine
through the wind
The clouds are thick and the dust is stirred where no hope
deferred him to see
That he doesn’t have to fight all the pain inside
Save the suicidal thoughts again
Can you rip out this dagger from my chiseled chest
Or untie the knot in my stomach
Cuz I know the truth that lies in these brittle bones
And it burns like fire
