Learning How to Die
“I’m gonna miss you,
I’m gonna miss you when you’re gone”
She said, “I love you,
I’m gonna miss hearing your songs”
And I said, “Please,
Don’t talk about the end,
Don’t talk about how every living thing
Goes away…”
She said, “Friend, all along
Thought I was learning how to take
How to bend not how to break
How to live not how to cry but really
I’ve been learning how to die
I’ve been learning how to die”
“Hey everyone
I’ve got nowhere to go
The grave is lazy
He takes our bodies slowly”
And I said “Please,
Don’t talk about the end,
Don’t talk about how every living thing
Goes away…”
She said, “Friend, all along
Thought I was learning how to take
How to bend not how to break
How to live not how to cry but really
I’ve been learning how to die
I’ve been learning how to die, die, die
I’ve been learning how to die”
Behind Your Eyes
If you let your feelings go, dear
It’s scary what you’ll find
I find I’m on your street, dear
And you’re always on my mind
And no one needs to know
That you let me in tonight
That you let me see the world
That you let me see the world
Behind your eyes
I want to see us work, dear
To reach the other side
Our treachery is love, dear
We’re on both ends of the fight
We’re fighting for ourselves
We’re fighting for lives
Would you let me see the world
Behind your eyes
And no one needs to know
How scared we are tonight
Would you let me see the world
Behind your eyes
Somebody’s Baby
She yells, “if you’re homeless sure as hell you’d be drunk
High or trying to get there or begging for junk
When the people don’t want you
They just throw you money for beer”
Her name was November
She went by Autumn or Fall
It’s been 7 long years since the Autumn when
All of her nightmares grew fingers
And all of her dreams grew a tear
She’s somebody’s baby
Somebody’s baby girl
She’s somebody’s baby
Somebody’s baby girl
And she’s somebody’s baby still
She screams, “well if you’ve never gone it alone
Well then go ahead you better throw the first stone
You got one lonely stoner
Waiting to bring to her knees”
She dreams about heaven, remembering hell
As the nightmare she visits and knows all too well
Every now and again when she’s sober, she brushes her teeth
She’s somebody’s baby
Somebody’s baby girl
She’s somebody’s baby
Somebody’s baby girl
And she’s somebody’s baby still
Today was her birthday, strangely enough
When the cops found her body at the foot of a bluff
The anonymous caller this morning tipped off the police
They got her ID from the dental remains
The same fillings intact, the same nicotine stains
The birth and the death were both over
With no one to grieve
White as Snow
Have mercy on me, oh God
According to Your unfailing love
According to Your great compassion
Blot out my transgressions
Would You create in me a clean heart
Oh God
Restore in me
The joy of Your salvation
The sacrifices of our God
Are a broken and contrite heart
Against you and you alone have I sinned
Would You create in me a clean heart
Oh God
Restore in me
The joy of Your salvation
Wash me white as snow
And I will be made whole
Wash me white as snow
Would You create in me a clean heart
Oh God
Restore in me
The joy of Your salvation
I’m Still Running
You remember me
Before I learned to run
At the kissing tree
Before I learned my guns
We were 17
17 years young
I am still running, I am still running
I had no idea
The pain would be this strong
I had no idea
The fight would last this long
In my darkest fears
The rights become the wrong
I am still running, I am still running
Build me a home
Inside your scars
Build me a home
Inside your song
Build me a home
Inside your open arms
The only place I’ll ever belong
In Love
In love, in love, in life, in love
In you, in love, in death, my love
In time, in love, in place, in love
In form, in love, in death, my love
My God, my love, my life, my love
Is yours, my love, my bride, my love
This cross, my love, is mine, my love
To bear, my love, to die, my love
This cup, my love, this bread, my love
My life, my love, is yours, my love
Come drink, my love, my blood, my love
My life, my love, in death, my love
My God, my love, my life, my love
Is Yours, my love, my bride, my love
This cross, my love, is mine, my love
To bear, my love, it’s time, my love
