The Darkness in Me
Intro
I want give you all of me
Bones, muscles and heart beating
With awkward steps and broken words
I want to show you
The way the roses bloom
When you step into the room
I want you to know now
You are not alone
Chorus
The darkness in me, greets the darkness in you
Vs. 1
With bleeding heart and golden tears
I’ve captured in my hands
Your grief can never understand
The way it’s watered your soul
And kept you soft and green and lush
And made you reach and grow
Vs. 2
I’m opening my crooked doors
To let you walk on through
This exhibition of my pain
Oh I don't’ want to bring you down
But you need to know as you observe
You’re not the only villain in town
Outro:
I’m not raising my glassing to wickedness
But toasting to interconnection
Of our flaws mixed with beauty
I’ll drink it on up
Here’s the mixture of me
Shall I pour it in your cup?

Life Heist
Vs. 1
I have traveled far, I have traveled wide
Climbed up in the mountains
Swam the sea at night
I have looked in the sky while dancing in the rain
I’ve brought souls into this world with screams of pain
But I’ve never yet made love in the gardens of Versailles
I want more time to live
I’m not ready to die
Chorus:
I’m takin’ this life by the throat and screaming
Give me, Give me all you can!
I want to capture all you offer
Release it into my hands
To taste all the good and savor each bite
I’m shaking your shoulders and screaming
Give me more life!
Vs 2.
I want to see the sun sink down in the desert earth
I want to know the great mysteries of death, love and birth
I have traveled far and I’ve traveled wide
I’m still trying to fill the empty void deep inside.
My last hour is in the haze of this road I ride
But I want more time to live
I’m not ready to die
Chorus

Waiting for You

Waiting for you
Vs. 1
It’s the love that I want
The love I’m trying to find
It’s the love that I pine
But it’s the love that is mine
Where’s the love that I need?
Love please, godspeed
It’s the love that is mine
Trying to find
Chorus: I’m waiting for you, love I’m waiting for you
Vs. 2
I saw the look in your eye
It’s hard to describe
I’ll take and bottle it up
I’m gonna need to drink from that cup
See, I’ve tasted what’s good
Felt fully understood
I know this can be
My own reality

Sand
Young woman share your fire with me
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
A wandering man, call me sand
Oh sir my fire is very small
It will not warm thy heart at all
But thee may take me by the hand
Hold me and I'll call thee sand
Young woman share your fire with me
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
A wandering man, call me sand
At night when stars light up the sky
Oh sir I dream my fire is high
Oh taste these lips sir if you can
Wandering man, I call thee sand
Oh sir my fire is burning high
If it should stop sir I would die
A shooting star has crossed my land
Wandering man
She whispered sand
Sand
Young woman shared her fire with me
Now warms herself with memory
I was a stranger in her land
A wandering man, she called me sand
He was a stranger in my land
A wandering man
She called me sand

Melt into your Arms
Vs.1
The ocean so vast and so wide
Teaming with creatures inside
Storming and raging its waves
Merciless pounding nothing, nothing it saves
Chorus
But it can never hold back our love
It reaches on up through the clouds up above
Past lands and seas and the bright shimmering stars
With the hope that one day I’ll melt, melt, melt into your arms
Vs 2
The great mountain of obstacles is high
With an avalanche of troubles and landslides
Deep crevices awaiting death’s call
Hear the growl of a lion and the wind howling ‘tween the bouldered walls
Bridge
What does the future hold?
Will our paths ever truly intertwine?
Will the longing in my heart subside?
Will the daily dawn ever find me waking to your eyes meeting mine?
But I want to still hold on, hold on to our love
It reaches on up through the clouds up above
Past lands and seas and the bright shimmering stars
With the hope that one day I’ll melt, melt, melt into your arms

Intercede
The glorious sunrise lighting all it sees
On my face and warming up the trees
Exploding colors,
Passion in the sky
It’s here for a moment, then passes right on by
See, day after day after day it’s been so cloudy
The cold chills down deep in my bones
My heart longs for the spectacular moments
When love and hope are nestled in my home
Chorus
Where is the love I need
How else can I call out for you to hear my plea?
If the sun stayed glorious throughout the day
And never let the night fall upon us
The surprise of the sunrise would never meet our eyes
And it would fade into all that’s dull and monotonous.
It’s the absence of love that make the heart grow fonder
Where is the love I need
How else can I call out for you to hear my plea?

God Forbid
Vs. 1
I feel your strong hands on my head
Manifesting submissive desire
The motivation is filled with fear
And sparked with hell’s dark fire
Believing all you say to save my beloved
Pre-Chorus
My brain has been washed and then hung out and left to dry
Deceit poured onto manipulation’s lies
Demonizing all who don’t
Follow our lead and comply
Chorus
Cause God forbid we should have any power
God Forbid we should rise up on our own
God forbid we should find our independence
And dear God forbid we should
strip the system right down to the bone
Vs2.
Keep the tall man at the top
where he can reach the scoreboard
Write the rules and colonize our minds
The bastardization of my faith
Desperation survives when we are all blind

Dig
Vs. 1
Where is my shovel?
I need to dig
Where is my shovel?
I need to go deep underground
It ain’t gonna be pretty, what is found
But if I don’t start to dig, the evil will only abound
Chorus
I’m gonna dig, dig, dig up these roots
I gotta dig, dig, dig up these roots
I’m gonna dig, dig, dig up these roots
The roots are all entangled in me.
2. Your roots were ripped out to make mine stronger
My family tree keeps growing taller and taller
Looking down and yelling
“O come on get up and grow”
While our roots destroy the ground beneath your feet and overthrow
I excel because of your demise
Thinking it was all just me and not my white disguise
Oh, my eyes have been opened, but I’ve got a long way to go
I’ll burst that bubble of supremacy and make that first groundstroke
I’m gonna dig, dig, dig up those roots
3. Perfectionism’s loud call will need to be rejected
I’m gonna keep digging and need to be corrected
Speeding down this privileged track not having a damn clue
Of what it means to feel oppressed
Well, I’ll tell you what to do
White silence spurs violence
We need to take a stand
We’re the ones who made this mess, put a shovel in your hand!
And dig, dig, dig up those roots
It is our responsibility

Bonneville
Vs. 1
I’d like to step on inside
If you’d like to take me
On an afternoon ride
We’ll roll along the hills
And when the sun turns golden
We’ll keep driving until we see on the horizon
That the world is right again
Chorus
So we’ll cruise into the night sky
And in the dashboard lights
I see the twinkle in your eye
So I move right next to you
Your arm around my shoulder
Down streets and avenues
There is no other place I’d rather be
Than passing time with you
And when the wheels have turned their time
And our eyes are tired and weak
I’ll take you in my arms
No need to think or speak
For the world is disappearing
And the stars have fallen to the sea
But as long as I am with you
Oh there’s no place I’d rather be.
Chorus
Bridge
Glitter sparkles in the distant skyline
Streetlights and time are speeding by
Radio crackles windows open
We’ll keep driving until our sorrows are a speck
in the rear view mirror of our time
Chorus

The Golden Hour
Quick Run before it’s gone
Quick go, before it sinks down
You know the way it goes, the day, oh the day
It slips so fast away
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to say goodbye to the day
So come on out and stay
Come and see this magnificent exit on display
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s okay to cry
Say your last goodbye
Say Goodbye
