1.1 Samuel
I became a crystal healer and my ministry was to the sick
Creeping vines would send out runners and seek me in their
numbers
I sold self-help tapes
Go down to the netherworld, plant grapes
And as world spread of my powers they would seek me far and wide
All sad faces at my window I would welcome them inside
I sewed clothes for them： cloaks and capes
Go down to the netherworld, plant grapes
My house will be for all people who have nowhere to go
My supply of shining crystals a shield against the snow
There's more like me where I come from, so mark our shapes
Go down to the netherworld, plant grapes
2.Psalms
Pulled off the highway in Missouri and low our hearts were heavy
laid
Made for the chapel with some spray paint for all the things
we'd held in secret
Lord lift up these lifeless bones
Light cascading through the windows
all the rainbow's heavy tones
He has fixed his sign in the sky
He has raised me from the pit and set me high
Left that place in ruin, drunk on the Spirit and high on fumes
Checked into a Red Roof in stayed up for several hours and then
slept like infants
In the burning fuselage of my days
Let me mouth be ever fresh with praise
He has fixed his sign in the sky
He has raised me from the pit and set me high
Each morning new
Each day shot through
With all the sharps small shards of shrapnel
that seem to burst of me and you
Head down towards kansas We will get there when we get there
don't you worry
Feel bad about the things we do along the way
But not really that bad
We inhaled the frozen air
Lord send me a mechanic if I'm not beyond repair
He has fixed his sign in the sky
He has raised from the pit and he will set me high
3.Genesis
House up in Clearlake
Where I used to live
Picked the lock on the front door
And felt it give
Touch nothing, move nothing, stand still
Keep my ears open for cars
See how the people here live now
Hope they're better at it than I was
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
Pictures up on the mantle
Nobody I know
I stand by the tiny furnace
Where the long shadows grow
Living room to bedroom to kitchen
Familiar and warm
Hours we spent starving within these walls
Sounds of a distant storm
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
Fight through the ghosts in the hallway
Duck and weave
Stand by the door with my eyes closed
When it's time to leave
Steal home before sunset
Cover up my tracks
Drive home with old dreams of play in my mind
And the wind at my back
Break the lock on my own garden gate
When I get home after dark
Sit looking up at the stars outside
Like teeth in the mouth of a shark
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
I used to live here
4.Philippians
The path to the awful room that one will sleep in again
Was lit for one man only gone where none can follow him
Try to look down the way he'd gone：
Back of a closets whose depths draw and on and on
And nice people said he was with God now
Safe in his arms
But the voices of the angels that he heard on his last days with
us
Smoke alarms
Well the path to the palace of wisdom that the mystics walk
Is lined with neuroleptics and electric shocks
Hope daily for healing
Try not to go insane
Dance in a circle with bells on
Try to make it rain
And nice people say he had gone home to God now
Safe in his arms, safe in his arms
But the voices of the angels singing to him on his last hours
with us
Smoke alarms, smoke alarms
5.Hebrews
Masks hanging on the tomb walls
Where the coven grieves
Witches hiding in the brambles
Ground level down where the dry leaves
Blow and burn slowly
No ground is ever gonna hold me
Bright candles in the manor
Where the curse takes hold
Bodies reassembling down where the worms crawl
Make your own friends when the world's gone cold
It gets dark and then
I feel certain I am going to rise again
If not by faith then by the sword
I'm going to be restored
Build fires to keep the beacon flashing
Where the earth lies flat
Blood calls to blood as the hours draw down
Invent my own family if it comes to that
Hold them close, hold them near
Tell them no one's ever going to hurt them here
Steal the treasure and try to leave town
Fight my way back down
Don't want to hurt anyone
Probably gonna have to before it's all done
Take to the hills right away
I'm gonna get my perfect body back someday
If not by faith then by the sword
I'm going to be restored
6.Genesis
For several days the visitors were here
We saw them turned down and we watched them disappear
Talked about the days that ？ was sure to come
Had a hard time believing
I remember seeing you my tongue struck done
When you first came here from wherever it was you came from
The power in your voice
Your rough touch
You keeping care of me
Keeping watch
Open up the doors to the tent
Wonder where the good times went
I will do what you ask me to do
Because of how I feel about you
？ little face contracted as his eyes met light
Try to imagine anything so bright
You only see it once then it seals into the dawn
And then it's gone forever
For several hours we laid there last ones of our kind
Harder days coming maybe
I don't mind
Sounds kind of dumb when I see it but it's true
I would do anything for you
Open up the promise of the day
Drive the dark things away
I will do what you ask me to do
Because of how I feel about you
7.Romans
Wake up sixty minutes after my head hits the pillow I can't live
like this
And in the shower I am a sailor standing ready waiting for the
shift list
Everything looks burned up I'm too scared to look around
don't feel like going on but come on make a joyful sound
If you will believe in you heart and confess with your lips
surely you will be saved one day
try to think of ways to fix myself but everything ends in a
cul-de-sac
the beast broke from the barn while we were sleeping face it
face it he's not coming back
don't see what the point is in event trying to fight
look for the bigger picture when i close my eyes real tight
If you will believe in you heart and confess with your lips
surely you will be saved one day
Look for the sign of Daniel, consider the clues
Wait as long as i have to for good news
Wake and rise and face the day and try to stop the day from
staring back at me
Busy hours for joyful hearts and later maybe head out to the
pharmacy
Won't take the medication but it's good to have around
A kind and loving God won't let my small ship run aground
If you will believe in you heart and confess with your lips
surely you will be saved one day
8.1 John
In the holding tank I built for myself it's feeding time
And I start to feel afraid 'cause I'm the last one left in line
The endless spring of summer storms that led me today
Began one afternoon with you long ago and faraway
And someone leads the beast in on its chain
But I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain
So I wont be afraid of anything ever again
In the cell that holds my body back the door swings wide
And I feel like someone's lost child as the guards lead me
outside
And if the clouds are gathering, it's just to point the way
To an afternoon I spent with you when it rained all day
And someone leads the beast in on its chain
But I know you're thinking of me 'cause it's just about to rain
So I wont be afraid of anything ever again
9.Matthew
They hook you up
To a fentanyl drip
To mitigate the pain a little bit
I flew in
From Pennsylvania
When I heard the hour was coming fast
And I docked in San Barbara
Tried to brace myself
You can't brace yourself
When the time comes
You just have to roll with the blast
And I'm an eighteen-wheeler headed down the interstate
And my breaks are going to give
And I won't know till it's too late
Tires screaming when I lose control
Try not to hurt too many people when I roll
Find the harbor freeway
And head south
Real tired
Head kind of light
I found Telegraph Road
I'd only seen the name on envelopes
Found the parking lot
And turned right
I felt all the details
Carving out space in my head
Tropicanas on the walk way
Neon red
Between the pain
And the pills trying to hold at bay
Stand as a traveler going far away
And I am airplane tumbling wing over wing
Tried to listen to my instruments
They don't say anything
People screaming when the engines quit
I hope we're all in crash position when we hit
And then came to your bedside
And as it turns out
I'm not ready
And as though
You were speaking through a thick haze
You said hello to me
We all stood there around you
Happy to hear you speak
The last of something bright burning
Still burning
Beyond the cancer and the chemotherapy
And you were a presence full of light upon this earth
And I am a witness to your life and to it's worth
It's three days later when I get the call
And there's nobody around to break my fall
10.Deuteronomy
The sun above me and a concrete floor below
Scratch at the chain links maybe bare my teeth for show
Fed twice a day I don't go hungry anymore
Feel in my bones just what the future has in store
I pace in circles so the camera will see
Look hard at my stripes, there'll be no more after me
Laze by the shoreline while the sailors disembark
Scratch out a place to sit and rest down in the dark
Smell something burning downwind just a little ways
They set up camp and sing and sweat and work for days
I have no fear of anyone I'm dumb and wild and free
I am a flightless bird and there'll be no more after me
In Costa Rica in a burrow underground
Climb to the surface, blink my eyes and look around
I'm all alone here as I try my tiny song
Claim my place beneath the sky but i won't be here for long
I sang all night the moon shone on me through the trees
No brothers left and there'll be no more after me
11.Isaiah
If my prayer be not humble make it so
In these last hours if the Spirit waits in check help me let it
go
And should my suffering double let me never love You less
Let every knee be bent, and every tongue confess
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
I read the magazines somebody brought
Hold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot
And when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothes
The pain begins to travel, dancing as it goes
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
If my prayer goes unanswered that's alright
If my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light
Let me praise You for the good times, let me hold Your banner
high
Until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
12.Ezekiel 7 And The Permanent Efficacy Of Grace
The clouds explode and then the desert blooms
Someone will need to mop this floor for me
When I emerge I find my car
Like a cathedral in a dream of the future
Drive 'til the rain stops
Keep driving
Pull over and blast off when I get the chance
Clear as an insect's wings in sunlight
Flip on the high stakes radio
Try to sing the words right
Drive 'til the rain stops
Keep driving
I had his arms tied up behind him
We were together all day
Maybe make Culiacan by sunset
Try to anyway
High as the clouds now
Flying
Drive 'til the rain stops
Keep driving
