1.A Letter to You, a Letter to Me
So long, my dear.
I'll take a chance to make sure that I break
you of your habits that I've grown to love.
I'll see you at your finest when I trust
everything you've done. I know you'll never change.
No, you'll never change
and you'll stay with me.
So long, my dear friend.
We'll take everything that gets in our way.
We'll move you into the next room
so you can watch and stay,
because you make me what I'm supposed to become.
The greatest of these was meant to be lived out,
(I'm splitting my head)
so don't let go, your soft whisper is my peace.
(and my bones)
Shame was never meant to be my portion.
I know there's another way for me to break away.
I tried to hold you back,
which means I tried to hold me back.
And you asked me when you came into my dream,
'What are you doing with your Life？'
and I replied,
'I just want the whole world to know Your Love,
but first we gotta start with our own Home.'
So Waco, wake up.
Oh I know, Waco will wake up to Your Love.
2.Lights of the Alico
Lay your soul to rest before it leaves and never comes back.
These filthy lungs and this sinning tongue
aren't the best traveling guides.
Because I'm always going somewhere;
I'm always driving somewhere
with no place in mind.
Driving and straying from the common road,
I guess this just reflects my inner soul.
You said wreck; I willingly followed.
You told me to die,
so I made a crash course for my own life.
Then I asked you, 'Why'd You want me to die？'
Then I heard Your response so clearly stated,
'You're a failure in this life,
so lay your soul to rest
before it leaves and never comes back.'
The lights of the ALICO will guide me home,
but it did not compare to when You said to me,
'Oh, come Home.'
3.Brother Bear
I won't forget the first time that I warned you
that sticking with me would be such a hard feat to do.
But you still stuck with me
after all the Hell that I put you through.
What about me
and everything I though I could be？
I guess time is just an old fiend.
Late nights and oh so tired mornings.
Conversations of death, life, and theology
over so many burnt cigarettes and coffee.
'Cause I enjoy just waiting on you.
What about me
and everything I thought I could be？
I guess time is just an old fiend.
I said what about me
and everything I though I could be？
I guess age never made much sense to me.
My mother taught me to breathe.
My father taught me to think.
My sister taught me to believe.
My brother, you taught me to be.
Though our blood may not be corresponding,
just separate the cells
and divide the miles in between.
My brother you'll always be.
4.What Holds Us
I've done my share of wrongs,
I've done my share of rights,
but what you said the other night
didn't make it all right.
The shapes that the consonants and vowels
that formed passing between my lips
only filled me with the deepest regret.
No, I don't know if my brother
is my brother in Christ,
and I'm scared to death where will he will go
when he dies.
Call it my insecurities that keep me talking to him,
but I just want to Love him for who he is.
I don't want to be told,
'I don't see Jesus in you.'
No, I don't want to be told,
'I don't see Jesus in you.'
No.
'Cause if we take what we get and get what we want,
when it's all said and done, we're left dead on the floor,
because Love holds us.
So I ran to you,
and all you had to say was,
'I Love...'
I don't want to be told,
'I don't see Jesus in you.'
No, I don't want to be told,
'I don't see Jesus in you.'
No.
'Cause if we take what we get and get what we want,
when it's all said and done, we're left dead on the floor,
because Love is what holds us together,
but it is Love that holds us apart.
5.Bloody Hallelujah
I carried you so close to my chest,
I could almost feel the moisture on your breath
when you asked me to sing you
a beautiful song
before you were gone.
God, I hope I'm wrong.
It was a bloody hallelujah.
Oh Hallelujah,
before I lose you to myself.
Then your eyes, they rolled back into the back of your head,
and the whites that remained stared at me in a manner oh so sad.
My right hand was tangled all up in your hair,
and it was such a lovely sight as my gaze caught that stare.
As your stare turned into a gaze,
what a bloody mess we've made.
It was a bloody hallelujah.
Oh Hallelujah,
before I lose you to myself.
The great white lights that took you Home
left me here to wander this Earth all alone.
So I sang you a song
before you were gone.
God, I thought I was wrong.
It was a beautiful hallelujah.
Oh, how I Loved you,
yet still I lost you to myself.
6.Man On the Moon
I keep on staring at the man in the great white sphere
wondering if he ever sees me staring way up there
or is he staring back.
I've been told,
'Boy it's time for you to get your head out of the clouds,
and while you're at it, grow up a little on the way back down.'
But I shot further than that.
My head is floating somewhere in that ring around the moon.
My home was never here, you see.
It wasn't ever next to you.
My head is floating somewhere in that ring around the moon.
My heart was never yours to keep.
These restless nights give me time to think.
These restless nights give me time to breathe.
7.Fabrication
8.Assassins
I know you've had too much to drink again,
where's your control？
I know you regret the things that you said,
but where's my control？
You'll be stumbling out of the bar,
trying to sober up for your ride,
but it's not working.
No, it's not.
And I'm here with a cigarette lit,
and you can't see me,
but you can smell my breath,
because I'm waiting for you.
So why don't you kill me
if you can't get to me
before you can guarantee your safety？
But it's too late.
I already sent them here
to kill you.
And then they pulled out all of your teeth,
and snapped out the back of your neck,
just like all those ravenous dogs
that eat at your flesh and devour your bones,
just to see the inside of your heart,
or better yet, your soul;
and I just stood there and watched.
So that no one else would know,
my fingers picked up all your scattered bones
and buried them in a hole so no one else would know.
I turned their attention to me,
and all the scenes and images that just happened
were all in my head,
and now they're biting at my hands.
9.Anatomy of Goodbye
Where did you go？
Where did you move to？
Did you really expect for me to follow？
What did you want me to do？
Did you want me to move on？
Where did you say we were supposed to meet up？
I forgot the name of that place.
When you say that I'm alone,
it's quite redundant, don't you think？
Where did you go？
Did you want me to move on？
The sound of your voice is a disturbing reverberation
between the walls of my skull.
It resides in my brain
and sent chills to my bones
when you said to let go.
Why did you have to go？
You said you would never leave me,
but I can hear your voice off in the distance.
You said you would be right next to my heart.
But if that place is in between these lungs,
I just don't know where to start,
because I'm not too sure.
No, I'm not too sure.
10.Smeared Blood
As the knife cuts through my veins, I feel again.
As You breathe into me, I live again.
As the uncertainties hold my tongue,
I swear to God, tomorrow will be done.
I just want to feel the weight of my own blood
Smeared across your arms and racing to your neck.
(Oh how we call this Love)
We call this Love.
(And I will never go back)
I'll never go.
