Those Who Do

You’re a wrecking ball
You’re a still small voice
You're a jealous Father
Who wants the best for his kids
And You won’t stop till you get what you’re wanting
Without you I am nothing
Within you I can move
And you won’t stop till you get what you’re wanting
And you humbled yourself and faced the ridicule
From of those who don’t believe and those who do
I’m a broken heart scared to love
I’ve gotten so good at lying to myself

Tendencies

She can’t help herself she’s gonna do it
Her hands are shaking
She’s got, she’s got, she’s got tendencies
And now her heart won’t find it’s peace
until she gives it everything she thinks it needs
Sometimes it’s comical
Sometimes it’s dangerous
All the while she’ll stay obsessed
Until she finds everything she thinks her heart is looking for
She’s sitting on her hands cause she wants to interfere
when she hears all of your stupid plans
She’s knows just what, just what you need to do
And she’s chomping at the bit trying hard not to tell you
She’s got, she’s got, she’s got tendencies
and now her heart won’t find relief
Until she gives you everything she thinks you need
Sometimes it’s obvious
Sometimes it’s just enough
Sometimes it’s way more than you bargained for
but never more than what she thinks is needed
She knows but she can help it show
She’s got tendencies

See How She Moves Me

See how she moves me
Far from this scenery
I thought I’d have to look at forever
See how she lifts me
From monotony
To a place where things seem alive
I won’t sing of absolutes
Or fill this song with meaningless clichés
I can’t say all my troubles are gone
But sometimes she makes them seem far away
See how she moves me
Far from simplicity
But to nowhere near complicated
See how she lifts me
From the misery
To where things seem a little more clear
It’s not like I've changed who I am
Or moved a million miles from where I stand
It’s not like I’m completely free
But sometimes it seems these chains don’t bother me
See how she moves me.......

Letting go of things that define
Letting go of truths I claimed as mine
But are only self-delusions
It seems you're asking me to let go of what I understand
Enjoy the mystery while I’m holding your hand
But I’m no good at letting go
Of my biology
Or bad theology
That hurts everyone around

I’m a clown with two left feet
A surgeon who's all thumbs
A singer with all the wrong notes
A runner with no feet
A funny man with no jokes
An author with no written words
And I seem to crush everything I get in my hands
I hope that you’ll listen up I hope you'll understand
I’m an artist with no ink
A sailor with no boat
A magician without any tricks
A traveler who stays home
A wrestler with no moves
A doctor without any cures
And I seem to crush everything I get in my hands
I hope that you listen up I hope you understand
I may say that it’s not my intention to destroy everything that I touch
but to say that I know my intention is probably saying too much
I’m a pilot with no plane
A soldier with no gun
A boxer who can't make a fist
A reader with no books
A builder with no tools
A farmer without any seed
I could say that the hand I’ve been dealt
Is the reason I'm not succeeding
I could say it’s written in the cards, the stars
and they’re never deceiving
I’m always saying too much

When I’m getting closer
To the finish line
No reason to think that
It’ll be different this time
It’s in this exact place
Where I feel unnerved
Cause I know what’s coming
Right around the next curve
It’s an army whose chanting
Their battle cry against me
I hear them singing
This is the place where it all falls apart
The moment before you arrive
It could be my own doing always bringing me here
It could be the devil it really isn’t that clear
It could be my enemies trying to trip me up and make me fall
It could be some of these things
or none of these things at all
It doesn't really matter who writes the inscription
The sign on the path says
This is the place where it all falls apart
The moment before you arrive
There’s a roadblock in my way
I can’t move and I can’t climb
There’s a sign above that says
The road is closed the path denied

Right Beside You
03:33

I swear if the moon turns the particular shade of red
The prophets say signal the end
And the stars start really falling from the sky
And prove all of my theories wrong
I’ll be running for cover right beside you
I swear if the sky opens up and the rain falls
Like it did so long ago
And somewhere in the distance we can see
The last boat heading out of here
I’ll be treading water right beside you
I swear if the earth starts to shake and we both fall
Down and we can’t find our feet
And we laugh as we watch each other try to stand
Trying to overcome our fate
I’ll be lying on the ground right beside you
