Light Pollution

it’s like rain on a seed
waiting is all i need
timing is key for me
to grow beyond
and you
you’re wide awake now
yours is due...
dying to sleep now
a necessary change will come
for those who don’t
even know where they’re coming from
so true
you’re wide awake now
you hear me turning
from this light pollution
i’d rather be the song than the dug up ground
if you come close you can hear my sound
i’d rather be alone than a poisonous friend
when your back is turned the connection ends
loving me’s a lot of work
trust is the safest word
i know if you can see my worst
a person can’t decide your worth
sadness hidden in a joke
can’t see beyond the smoke
i’ll hide behind debris
it’s the only place i’ll be
too soon…
i need you here with me
i’m still right here
i need you here with me
waiting for those fears
please just one taste of the water
i know you have been like a father
please just one taste of this water
i know you have been like a father
at the end of this song
at the end of this album
i keep running
but i don’t know what i’m running from
at the end of my life
at the end of my life
who’s with me who’s sharp
who’s just a bread knife
at the end of my life
at the end of my journey
won’t toss and turn
won’t feel this yearning

Devastation

i fell down
in the dirt
my father’s house
it stayed there
you haven’t hurt this easily
you haven’t hurt this easily
never thought i’d write a song about weakness
anything i do i do it all for meekness
i keep salting food
though i can’t even taste this
if i ever learn
what month what year what day it is
i will never miss the unrelenting pain of this
i will never miss the rain or miss the sameness
every time i see my picture in a folder
i look tired because i’m carrying a boulder
have you ever seen devastation
it feels like an interrogation
have you ever had your world collapse
like the stress was charging you tax
i can hear my daughter’s voice
she doesn’t know when i’m sad
my kids won’t ever know this pain
as long as i’m their dad
i’d rather never dream again
than see you live with unmet needs
child with her mother’s eyes
i hope that you find what you need
every person’s got their flaws
especially when you’re 33
if you ever go through this
you know you’ll have a friend in me
the air is cool and light up here
i’m pouring out my thoughts for thee
you collect my tears in a jar
and save them for eternity
have you ever had a revelation
that led to such dedication
have you ever had your heart abound
and your feet put on the ground
have you ever seen a devastation
that led to such dedication
have you ever seen your heart abound
and your feet put on the ground
have you ever had a revelation
that led to such dedication
have you ever had your heart abound
and your feet put on the ground

Dedication

i don’t even know why i’m crying
it’s the part of me that won’t stop trying
if i made it to my thirties with heavy eyes
then in spite of me i didn’t realize
if the end of this is coming
then i’ll give it up
that the people who surround me
won't spit it up
i don't even know why i'm crying
it's the part of me that won't stop trying
blunt and confused
i’ve stunted my growth for a time i had hoped and i
waited for you
to open my eyes to the wonders outside in the
yard or the room
where i go i'm followed
my mind it feels so hollow
it’s true
i don’t even know why i’m crying
it’s the part of me that won’t stop trying
if i made it to my thirties with heavy eyes
then in spite of me i didn’t realize
don't read the news
'cause the day has been light
so don't mess with the night and you'll
finally use
all this peace that i taught
you are free to be not
and you'll
finally lose
all the words that have hurt
and the people desert you
it's true

low dose of lexapro
for awhile i’ll give it a go
afraid little boy
in the rivers of joy
he will wash his hopes
he’s got everything
he says he needs
something else
please baby
please
let me hide this pain from myself
old hopes i’ll let them go
from my life
i can’t resist
if i see it right, i won’t see all night
but the seeing insists
you prayed every time you saw my eyes turn to grey
and the colours went dark
like a stone in the park
when i started to fade
i will come back to the place i was
again
my love
i will come back to the place i was
again
my love
one little word
one little burst
it set my heart at ease
i’m just running and i didn’t know
running to the place where the children go
that’s my little one
she’s the one i need
everybody sees her crown
she’s just running
and i’m running behind
if i catch up
it will fix my life
all i really wanted
who i really trust
the fairest of them all
i have hurt
and i have spied
all consumed
by sinister lies
but now this place we’ve made
a place to lay our heads
criticized by no one who counts
i’m just looking here to find my home
you’re still here when i’m all alone
every time you see it’s like a work of art
never judge a story from the very start
it’s been 5 years since you fell apart
remember who you trust and who your friends are
dedicated tears for those lost days
your memories disappear forming new ways
every time you see me and you see my heart
remember who you trust and who your friends are
i will come back to the place i was
again my love
i can hear my masters voice inside
“i know, you tried”
