1.
The blues and grays they radiate off of your face and always they Reflect the dawn when the morning decides to show and it will grow My days vanish like smoke between my fingertips I lose my grip On my bones that burn like glowing embers in the fires pit But you go far ahead my present tense You’re enthroned fast in stead never changing since
2.
I wish I could live in your brain and listen to all the things you say I would rest inside your eyes and pray that you see me the same way I wish I could sleep in your dreams where what you wish is how it seems I would reside in your ears and hear the amplified voices of the ones you hold dear I wanna make my home in your heart Never will I leave or be far apart From the ties between your chest and mind Location where I find all of me and I Hold my hopes up high that I’m right

College Age 01:50
Makeup on from yesterday Put your new shoes on but there’s no way They’re not broken in, but I sure am So what’s the deal and what’s the plan? I ain’t gotta single plan today I don’t feel like doing anything Same jeans on as the day before You want a little less I want a little more College age, doing what’s right Getting up early and feeling bright
4.
Heavy Eyes 03:08
Follow me anxiously I can hide all of my insides Underneath heavy eyes Time’s so steep It’s working me Am I following Or falling asleep Oh my God where have you been Not the God inside of the ceiling But the God that’s inside of me Heavy breath, weight on your chest Close your eyes, you’re nearly dead Cannot breathe beneath the sheets Heavy eyes won’t ease your mind
5.
This temper’s slow burning but it’s always on fire Just rustle round these embers and the flames will get higher I’d use those flames to smoke a lot when you’re not around But don’t worry I ain’t gettin high cause I’m always up for feeling down Just need to find a person to spend a moment or two with me But I get you want to be alone, I understand completely I’m sorry for being honest here But I need you not to leave It’s scary the way I can’t control your feet And the way they move to and from me
6.
Voice 03:21
You left in a rush I thought that you believed in God But the feelings weren’t enough Black and blue We buried you And the voice inside my head The key, the tone was yours instead And I will take every step According to the things you've said You were up and off when I was thinking something strange Never thought my thoughts would rearrange
7.
What if you knew me like yourself We didn’t keep anything to ourselves Open and unafraid The things we ignore we change What if I always had the guts To admit exactly what was what And have the choice To hear my voice Why are we listening when no one is speaking? What if I didn’t hesitate Instead of thinking of what to say And being vague But still okay Why are we listening when no one is speaking? And it said a whole world more about you than it ever did me That you’d assume that what you said is something I should take so lightly But I’m not dead just because I don’t talk about this life So the things you said were louder this time
8.
Father Son and Holy Ghost I’m walking in some sore repose Of a path that I once chose I’m afraid my face you will not know I opened up that book of yours Saw liars, thieves, murderers and whores I found myself inside of these When I looked at them it was me I’d see I looked close at every page I found myself at a different age My heart was much bigger when My skin was thick and my heart was thin Father Son and Holy Ghost I’m walking in some sore repose Of a path that I once chose I’m afraid my face you will not know Do you even recognize me After a year of walking blindly Now Zacchaeus climbed the tallest tree And Moses divided an entire sea Peter stepped into the breeze Is this how you’ll remember me
9.
When I see you there, you’re walking down the street I can’t help, I’m looking I will almost crash into the car that’s in front of me When I turn around I see you there Our eyes haven’t met but we’re getting there I’m imagining so many things you and I could be Why don’t you want me now Oh could we talk this out Or even talk at all Oh then I might just fall for you And when we finally meet The love we find we’ll keep And I think it’s okay That I love you and I don’t even know your name When I turn around I see you there Our eyes haven’t met but we’re getting there I’m imagining so many things you and I could be Finally our eyes are meeting The thoughts in my head repeating, “They’ll pass by in cars Knowing we are quite the sight to see.” I got you underneath my finger I got you on the tip of my tongue I want to pull you closer I want you where I think you belong
10.
Ropes 05:27
The waves are rising, I need to see the horizon My ship is sinking and I have been thinking I need to see your face Deliver me from this place My body’s bruised and I have been holding on so Tight to all the things that keep me here in the deep Let go of your ropes and hold a little tighter to His hands are holding you and he will always fight for you I rather have scars than open wounds From what was left inside this room Festering, infected with, all that I was and now who this is I fell asleep for eleven years straight while all the things that I hate Would pile up in the corner of the room convincing me that I couldn’t move A muscle, a thought, the things they brought and I sought. What haven’t I got? A needle and thread, a tired head, a child alone, never shown, continually sewn through skin and bone. Am I always prone to this old ghost? Up and down by hands, personal lands foreclosed the first chance Through the gates but not the door, you can’t reach the lock when you’re on the floor But you’d adore my core. A lure to report, or healing? It doesn't sound appealing his reeling out of flesh and bone Can’t you see that I’m already sewn? It’s fixed, though I’m not convinced Festering infection, imperfection, this section unread Open up the book and I bled and said, more like pleading “It’s eating away at me, and my own skin.” Where do I begin, or does it just end with the revealing of men and men’s minds? Though you see it all the time through me and my own sighs and goodbyes But what do you see in me through your own eyes?
