My dad used to say that closed mouths don’t get fed
You have no excuse to be lazy so get yourself out of bed
Even my father in heaven told me to do the same
Wear my armour, pick up my sword, and do what I can to hide my shame
Life isn’t going to hand you its gifts
It isn’t going to be easy
Its going to break you down head to hip
It will offer no peace, so no treaty
You have to build your own pe...
One thing I’ll never do
Is give up my trust again
I will never give it away
To keep myself safe
I had a love who held my trust
Best friends for years and who fell in love
She gave me peace and took away my fears
But either she wore a mask or shifted gears
She deceived my heart and my brain
Took my good and left the pain
She used me for my body and not my soul
She left me alone to pay the toll

The traveling miracle worker
He travels day and night
He brings you hope and peace
He can give you light
He hears your cries and worries
People will say he is a fake
People will continue to judge
But he will be your attorney
He will feed the hungry from scraps
He’ll turn water into wine
He’ll catch every stone tossed
He’ll heal the blind
He understands your burdens
The curse the fallen casts o...
Its all coming down
Every building on the street
Everything we’ve had
Falling down like autumn leaves
I hate the lies of this world
But there is one I want to hear
Tell me everything will be okay
Don’t leave me in fear
Don’t leave me knowing about the end
Don’t leave me alone with myself to fend
Speak your lies and blind me once more
Please don’t leave me torn
Tell me this is a mere blow over
T...
Fact or Fancy?
You need to decide
Be yourself or
Be someone of lies
Be yourself or
Be someone wear a gown of pride
You don’t have the love for yourself
So you make the choice and hide
Are you afraid to be judged?
Are you insecure of your flaws?
I don’t know what you think perfect should be
But its not being someone your not
Embrace what God has crafted
You have the ability
Your flaws are hand ...
Who would I be if I was free
Who would I be if I was let go from my cage
Who would betray me once I learned to trust
Who would ruin my polish and watch me rust
What would be like if I was happy
If I didn’t sit in fear and prepare for the worst
If I didn’t hide my feelings and let people in
If I stopped looking through a lens thats cursed
Would I lose myself and become prideful
Would I start to...
I can feel the energy change
I can feel you disengage
It doesn’t feel like you’re enraged
But I know you’re not the same
I can see that our connected chains break
I can see you sheathe what you want to say
I can see your mind start moving on
How did I disrupt our song
Its been building for awhile I can tell
You have the same reaction as our dog when he stops wagging his tail
Your eyes lose a ca...
I won’t give in again
I’m not dumb enough
I won’t let the world hurt me
I keep it in its cuffs
I don’t want to open up
Thats when people hurt you the most
The tell you they care and you’re loved
But they’ll stop the act and reveal the foes
I’ll keep my heart locked away
You can’t have it in your possession
“But I’m nice” I’ve hear that before
I think I’m going to dodge this lesson
I’ll push awa...
I wished it could’ve been different
I loved you the most
I couldn’t wait to spend the days with you
The high I felt picked me up from my lows
I remember spending our evenings
At the lake feeding the ducks
Your skin would glow in the sun
Finding you was more than just luck
It was a gift I was sure
I thanked God everyday
I was a man of sin
But you still entered the fray
I remember the days we’d ...
Life is a journey that doesn’t start until your free
You can be blind in a cage
And you would think you could never leave
But you have the choice to change
God hands you the keys
He opens the door
But is it your fear or you being stubborn
That keeps you from living more
You are blinded by sin that tells you your unworthy
Which that is true, you don’t deserve this gift
You have made bad choices,...
