Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Johnny Cash
Man In Black
Well, you wonder why I always dress in black,
Why you never see bright colors on my back,
And why does my appearance seem to have a somber tone.
Well, there’s a reason for the things that I have on.
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin’ in the hopeless, hungry side [...]

‘Til Kingdom Come
Coldplay (written for Johnny Cash’s American Recordings V before he left us)
Steal my heart and hold my tongue.
I feel my time, my time has come.
Let me in, unlock the door.
I’ve never felt this way before.
The wheels just keep on turning,
The drummer begins to drum,
I don’t know which way I’m going,
I don’t know which [...]

One Step Closer
U2
I’m ’round the corner from anything that’s real
I’m across the road from hope
I’m under a bridge in a rip tide
That’s taken everything I call my own
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
I’m on an island at a busy intersection
I can’t go forward, I can’t turn back
Can’t see the future
It’s getting away [...]

Johnny Cash
Hurt [a nine inch nails cover]
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that’s real
The needle tears a hold
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire [...]

Amber
You can have it all
I don’t want it anymore
I’m tired of the pain
And the tension inside
Torqued on this plane
Peel another layer
Peel another layer
Leaving dust and blood
Water and blood
Tear the hole
Take it all
Tear the hole
And take it all
It’s all the same
Worn deep
Out of the amber
And into the fog
Out of the fog
And into the black
Then the black [...]

a thin place
a resonating interval

And it was on that day that I was well
Some things are still as they are
But on their leave
On their way to faded grey
Begging for a flash of color
An explosion to draw near
But without the follow through
Never with the follow through
It leads away and is too torqued to make sense
The word divergent whispers to me [...]

And you
Between all
Or above
The bookend
Caps history
Up front
The end
Open-ended
But closed
Speak light
Awaken night
And you
Speak light
All fades
Always does
Seeing nothing
Glimpsing fragment
Seeing nothing
Something stirs
Seeing nothing
Dancing move
Seeing nothing
Rolling through
Seeing nothing
And you
You are
You

there will be a light
ben harper
i wish we could live forever
then melt into the sun
time is gonna change you
once it gets you on the run
i’ve been running
ever since i was a child
some call it free
some call it wild
let the warmth of my love
dry away your tears
fear not for i am with you
i will fear not [...]
