Axiom 05:13
2.
She is a child of chaos, juggling fire Lost in the hopes of somebody else’s desires Five cent returns, seem to be keeping her well Hubcaps, my bike, anything else she can sell And home Ain’t nothing But brick and stone When you’re all alone Begging for night Push carts and black tarps under the rush hour race Grey skies and rain flies, look what you’ve done to this place If only she’d clean up, stop throwing words at the walls But then again, I know what it feels like to fall And home Ain’t nothing But brick and stone When you’re all alone Begging for night She is a child of chaos, juggling fire And I think of myself every time she walks by

Static 04:43
Our guard is up, watch your back Like everything’s about to crack Like all that’s good is left for dead And warning signs, they flash ahead Ahead I feel it, its everywhere Its the static in the air Its pulling you, its pushing me Its drowing everything We scream and shout into the void Thoughts and prayers to kill the noise But God will do what God does best Watch us play in our own mess I feel it, its everywhere Its the static in the air Its pulling you, its pushing me Its drowning everything This feeling, is all we know But seasons come and go (Living well is the best defense) I feel it, its everywhere Its the static in the air We seek the light, then just freeze It holds us like a dark disease ‘Cause what we want and what we need Are always tearing at the seams But what we have is you and me And that is everything
4.
You change the locks, you hide the key Keep all your secrets from me Kill the lights, pull the shades Anything to keep it away from me I let you in, opened my heart Thought we’d try a brand new start Once again, you proved me wrong Always the same old song with you Now my head lies everywhere But you don’t see that now Time won’t wait but time will tell You don’t see that now What can I say, it just slipped away Guess I needed a change of scene Was it the fights or the fucked up nights Or maybe the silence in between Now my head lies everywhere But you don’t see that now Time won’t wait but time will tell You don’t see that now
5.
On my hands and on my knees If you’re needing me Stranger thoughts spin ‘round my head Too much chemistry Feel the grey skies creeping in Without a sound Will this winter break my fall Will you be around Always come to my defense With such eloquence I could never let you see It was killing me In this town it all goes down If you play it right So we find the ones we love Hold each other tight Always come to my defense With such eloquence I could never let you see It was killing me I will do my level best With the time that I have left To find the beauty in between The breaking waves of the extremes On my hands and on my knees I do believe You can get me on my feet A little softer, please
6.
Please don’t mistake my words as acts of confidences I’m a mess on the inside She said “You’re just like me, hurt in places they can’t see” Keep your cards tight to the outside Now you’re covering your eyes Before this even starts You’re covering your eyes The hardest part of reaching out Is then they come around Easier to tie it off Bury it deep beneath the ground Now you’re covering your eyes And hardening your heart You’re covering your eyes Paralyzed and terrified of the things I cannot see Foxhole prayers, hanging in the air They won’t change your history Stop covering your eyes And tearing it apart There’s beauty in your eyes Damaged goods, misunderstood Step into the light Damaged goods, misunderstood There’s time to make it right
7.
Don’t know how it feels I can’t be in your shoes But I’d do anything to take this from you I can’t say “Its alright” I can’t say “Don’t worry, babe” When I am shaking and afraid When the lights go down on you You will not be alone When the the hurting starts on you I’ll be there, and I’ll take you home You always were the one Holding up the light I’ve never seen it shine so bright And I always turn to you For strength and honesty Now its time you lean on me When the lights go down on you You will not be alone When the the hurting starts on you I’ll be there, and I’ll take you home We made it through the rain It left us scarred and changed It showed us all we had Our moments good and bad When the lights go down on you You will not be alone When the the hurting starts on you I’ll be there, and I’ll take you home
8.
Jesus Christ, finally took your own advice Went and got yourself better Turned the ship around Before it ran aground Set the course for clearer weather The world is spinning fast Don’t save the best for last If you really love that girl you ought to tell her And try To hold the line You just might find A little piece of mind The past will not forget Better make peace with your regrets Don’t lose your place in time You got the weight of a heavy soul But not everything’s out of control There’s a friend to call And a sink full of dirty dishes So don’t worry your pretty head How the story ends Maybe your world won’t seem so vicious And try To hold the line You just might find You leave some things behind Shudder with the memories A promise of uncertainty Don’t lose your place in time You do the best you can Try to be a better man Leave behind the old design There’s been a change of plan Wishing on the stars Will only go so far Its ok to be ok Right here where you are Looking for some grace In this liminal space And in time you find some peace of mind
