i'll come to your well
to pull from your waters
to drink of your water
i'm under your spell
a love like a father's
to love like your father
i've thirsted so long
to hold like a brother
be held like your brother
our love is it so wrong
to quench one another
to drink from each other
let me love you
let me nurture you
let me comfort you

another one
04:01
|

to me you were the one
one so afflicted similarly
familiarly lost and alone
that we for a moment shared in this debris
we together forever still on our own
maybe i was also
holding too closely
mostly i thirsted and yearned for your healing touch
but of all the people falling for you
i was just another one
i was just another one
another
another one
another
one
another one
i am being forgotten
wrecker of your joy
reminder of your weakness
this is the promise as one yearning to make amends
not to enter into your life again
i your sin repent condemned
amen amen
(amen)
your life is moving on onto other ones
i was never anything to you
i was just another one
i am just another one
just another touch
just another touch
this is way too much
another
another one
another
one
another one
do you still feel the same
do you do you
you said you were grateful it was me
grateful it was me
do you still feel that way
do you do you
you were grateful it was me
grateful it was me
yes i still feel the same
feel the same
no i'm the grateful one
grateful it was you
but of all those who have hurt me
those who've hurt me
you are just another one
just another one
another
another one
another
one
another one

new year
08:17
|

[one]
they wrapped a bag around my head
you ran your finger down my chest
sitting nervous by my bed
isolated on departing bus i wept
[one]
we shared our secrets to the stars
gravel spinning bleeding scars
never told me who you are
my closest friend now swimming far
swimming far
[one]
you wandered lonely from the group
we sweated blood my love maroon
you covered blankets on me in the room
growing silence flowing on a flume
[one]
i brushed my hand upon your skin
you fell for me and asked me when
but i am His you are my dearest friend
you texted rumors
tumors of my broken life will end
my broken life will end
how can those who love me hate me
they loved until they knew of me
i thought being loved meant being known by you
but once you know you don't want to
so how can you
so how can i
so i and you
can't love
can't try
(every new year is a new thing
every new pain never ending)

four things i need
three will i never receive
a strong warm embrace that says yes i belong
a kind listen to all of the words in my songs
a calm loving presence here when i depart
a still small voice whispering into my heart
four things i give
three will you never receive
a strong warm embrace that says yes you belong
a kind listen to all of the things that went wrong
a calm loving presence there when you depart
a still-painful reminder of all of the darkness i made you take part
four things i am
three will i ever be
a strong tacit oppressor that touches too long
a kind but wounded creature that can't get along
a calm fading presence that longs to depart
a still stumbling child that yearns
for His presence to dwell in his heart

give up
06:00
|

Friday comes again too soon
don't give up
Spirit lead me out of here
don't give up
kindest touch is gone too soon
don't give up
forget the deed it's loud and clear
don't give up
darkness crawls across the room
don't give up
i must trust that help is near
don't give up
i can do this on my own
don't give up
growing thought inside my mind
don't give up
no one sees me all alone
don't give up
darkest places i will find
don't give up
i cannot pick up the phone
don't give up
speeding past i'm driving blind
don't give up
messages i don't receive
i give up
giving in to feel the love
i give up
promises i can't believe
i give up
living death from up above
i give up
righteousness i won't [can't] perceive
i give up
to dream the dreams You're dreaming of
i give up
pain and pleasure give to me
they give up
biding darkness only takes
they give up
earthly treasure drips on me
they give up
deed is done i hate the taste
they give up
loving you is loving me
they give up
throw it out i'm such a waste
they give up
i can't do this on my own
give up
seed that's planted in my mind
give up
God has made me all alone
give up
darkest sheep He's still to find
give up
you will not pick up the phone
give up
Son has seen me i am blind
give up
Friday comes again too soon

shadows
11:42
|

i am the darkness clings
tracing your distant steps
put on your golden rings
abandon me to these depths
follow you closer still
but closer is still too far
i won't but know you will
blind us to what we are
shadows roam
painful tomes
darkness spoke
love is broke
shadows don't
feel the light
lovers won't
stay the night
i am the darkness stays
empty but giving out
rebel but still obeys
glory to all your doubt
i am a passing phase
you had me when wrong and wild
light of your fading gaze
resting in wife and child
shadows roam
painful tomes
darkness spoke
love is broke
shadows don't
leave the ground
children won't
make a sound
shadows roam
painful tomes
darkness spoke
love is broke
shadows don't
see the light
brothers won't
stay the night
shadows roam
painful tomes
darkness spoke
love is broke
shadows don't
stay around
lovers float
hated drown
shadows roam
painful homes
darkness spoke
love is broke
shadows don't
cling to light
darkest ghost
fades from sight
shadows roam
painful homes
darkness spoke
love is broke
shadows don't
love the dark
friend or foe
all depart
all depart

thirst
16:20
|
|||
i just keep driving
don't know where to
i'm growing tired
of being too
attached at the waist
a bad aftertaste
to latch
isolate
gray that i am
don't die don't relate
don't cry don't delay
don't pry don't pray
don't
just don't
i
don't wanna love anymore
don't wanna love anymore
anymore
i don't wanna try so hard
to be loved anymore
loved anymore
just be alone
don't pick up the phone
just live on my own
i just wanna be alone
just be alone
shouldn't be so hard
i'm already on my own
just be on my own
this is how You made me
how You made us
so in need of love
so in need of touch
holy touch
fading imprints on my skin
grows cold far too much
grow closer to me
closer closer
so far so far
You've been so far
so far
from me
closer closer closer
now you've seen too much
feeling more than touch
emotion
connection
tangled in your web
messed up in my head
crying in your bed
so easy to get hurt
writing in the dirt
saying that i only want a friend
looking for a friend
but neither knew just what it meant
never enough
never feel that holy touch
drowning in salt water
withering out
losing life
drink deeply all around me
or drink nothing
die of thirst
die of thirst
die of thirst
dying of thirst
dying of thirst
i need flesh
i thirst blood
give me daily bread
let wine pour out as a flood
cleanse my head
light above
or bury me in salt instead
deny me the least of loves
where is this living water
that i may no longer thirst
where is the living Father
whose chest i may lay my head to rest
where is this bed You have prepared
for me that i finally sleep
where is this table You have set
the banquet's for my enemies
die of thirst
die of thirst
dying of thirst
dying of thirst
how could such beauty
show me such love
how could you beautiful friend
not cut me off
how could i a man in want
do you so wrong
how could i in all my want
hurt you so long
must i give in and seize it all
hold both of you in either hand
or longing more to be with You
let you sink further through the sand
must i deny your beauty
must i deny you're good to me
are you a cheapened Beauty
is there no good in you and me
or is it the light i see in you
spinning in gravel flinging truth
are you the incense burning up
offering goodness
beauty
Love
buried in salt i sink to death
salt of the earth that lines my breath
tasting of you i can't abide
but you draw me out to thirst the Light
death of this world to life above
dead to the world alive in Love
dying each day to live anew
blessing of seeing Him through you
you were a gift to me
was i gift to you
you were a gift to me
was i gift to you
the Giver He gives through you
Lord would you give through me
the Giver He loves through you
Father please love through me
you are a gift to me
am i gift to you
you are a gift to me
am i gift to you
His body was bled for you
will the Body be bled for me
His wings cover over you
will your wings cover over me
(am i a gift
am i a gift)
should i deny in whole
or yearn for the whole of me
should i be incomplete
or is there much more for me
am i a weight to you
a burden of memory
have i been good to you
or selfish in treachery
am i gift to you
am i gift to me
am i gift to you
am i gift to me
am i gift to You
am i gift to me
am i gift to You
am i gift to me

oh come to the well
come pull from the waters
come drink of the water
behold Emanuel
the love of the Father
be loved by the Father
we've thirsted so long
to dwell by the Father
with Jesus our Brother
Our Love it is so strong
be held by your brothers
come drink Living Water
let me love you
let me nurture you
let me comfort you
