Getting By

Morning drive
Coffee for my Nine to Five
I can’t help but squint my eyes, the sun shines through
Blinding light
Reminder another days gone by
Time remains in low supply.
And if you can’t find the words,
You have no song, you have no verse
You have no way to play the part,
If you can’t finish what you start
You tell yourself you’ll try again
Tell yourself you’re spread too thin
As the second hand eats up your time
We’re getting by
It’s hard to find the words to say
Feeling like I can’t escape
All this time, have I been lying to myself,
Pretending to be someone else?
You look to the clock on the wall
Counting the time, minutes pass by
Indifferent if you were to fall
Just close your eyes and give you a try

Say to Me

You say to me
I haven’t felt myself since 23
I’m having thoughts they're starting to scare me.
I’ve prayed to God but not sure he heard me.
I think there is something wrong
Maybe it’s my parents or the cross around my neck?
Or maybe it’s just me feeling sad?
Either way I’m lonely and somehow I’m always angry
And I can’t go on like this
You say to me
You don’t seem to understand what I mean
I’m not choosing this my mind is against me
These thoughts I’m having didn’t come from me
I think there is something wrong
I don’t know
How to take away your lonely
I don’t know how to redeem your past
I don’t know how to make you feel happy
I know you didn’t ask me
But I beg you please don’t go.

The Balance
03:41

There’s hope bursting at the seams
And there’s doubt clouding all my dreams
I want to know what it all means
To find the balance in between
My belief and my Doubt
Oh you’re not so devout
Standing up for what’s right
Or Keep quiet for tonight
Is it hope that you sell
that we’re heading for hell?
Is it love when we serve ourselves?
Were these walls meant to be torn down
Or have the answers all been found
Will we swim or will we down?
Will we learn to listen?
Is it true wisdom comes with age
If we don’t learn to turn the page
With so much good and so much pain
I have learned to be okay
Was it here all this time?
The balance I long to find
Or was it just in my mind?

If I fall far from the family tree
Does that make me a bad seed?
When the roots grow deep
What do you think of me?
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
All these thoughts that weigh me down
Am I going to let you down?
I didn’t choose to bear the name
But I still carry all of the shame
From the ones that we love in heaven above
Are we more than the things we’ve done?
I want an answer for the cancer
That grows inside my father
I appreciate your prayers
Is anyone listening out there?
There’s a block around his heart
The doctor says we’ve got an early start
Not an early grave
Your love is still the same in this prodigal mess I’ve made
Your love is still the same.
Heavy is the head that wears the crown
I’ll do my best not to let you down.

I Can't Find

God bless the names carved on the plaque outside your door
God bless the money spent on giving us these floors
The band’s performing well, the drums don’t miss a beat
This Sunday’s worship sure is pretty neat
But I can’t find,
I won’t find you there
The stars and stripes that hang
I see them from the pew
One nation under God?
But there’s no room for you
In safe suburban homes where no danger can come to you
So we turn away those who don’t look like you
Am I just too scared?
Too afraid?
That I don’t even know what I believe?
