Hellbent

I’ve got the strangest feeling crawling
In the back of my mind
And I know I’ve long heard it calling
It’s a reckless sun about to rise
All the dust my lungs have borne
I’m bent on running through these walls
I’m reborn
Open your eyes
Look at the signs
We ignored
All of the times
We never tried
To let go
I haven’t seen heaven yet
But I’m hellbent on moving ahead
So it runs within the bloodline
Days were lost, stolen away
Floating hazy down the coastline
Tryna catch a light the calms the sway
On the stones I tread and skin I’d torn
I’m bent on running through these walls
I’m reborn
Open your eyes
Look at the signs
We ignored
All of the times
We never tried
To let go
I haven’t seen heaven yet
But I’m hellbent on moving ahead
We’re moving on
We’re moving on
We’re moving on
We’re moving on

I watched you watch your mother go down
Cant stare into the sun when you’re underground
I wonder at the end what she found
Cause this can’t be God’s plan
How does it work?
Where do we go?
Isn't it strange?
That we might never really know
Is there a reason
Under the weight of it all
The earth keeps on turning
And it doesn’t just fall
And if you have to go
You won’t depart alone
And I’ll be right beside you
As we step into the dark
And that’s the place to start
I heard you hear the crack in your own voice
As you told me that you didn’t really have a choice
That your mind was pressing deeper down your spine
And this can’t be God’s plan
And I’ll follow
Where you face the stars yeah I’ll follow
Right into the dark
Yeah I’ll follow
When our time has passed
Yeah I’ll be right there
I’ll be right there

Coral

Coral light
Unsettled dust
Consume the room
Heavy longing
Vivid lust
How we bloom
Oh
Can’t deny your love no more
Oh
Can’t deny your love no more
Last light on the window
Reflections undulate
Breathing slowly in as bodies bind
Let our souls realign
Fast pressing desire
In the leaden lull of time
Hidden under skin I must find
The power that you keep inside
Oh
Can’t deny your love no more
Oh
Can’t deny your love no more

Scotch Tape
03:01
|
|||
|
Rose colored in a house of grey
Dancing over broken glasses
Hours flying paper planes
To float away
Splinters from a picket fence
Felt them when I fell into it
Tripping over common sense
So tell me this
Can I scotch tape us back, back together
Cause the heart break’s been hard, hard on me
Will the scars make the story all the better?
Or is it too late for scotch tape?
How was I supposed to know
That all the things I learned at home
I carry
Into moments we’re alone
I can hear my fathers tone
And it’s scary
How did it
Get to this
I’m learning of letting go of what I knew
But it’s hurting to forget I’m me because of you

Stand in Tall Ovation
05:24
|
|||
|
In my body I’m a foreigner
Trying to trap wind in a box
My uncertainty is convincing me
I’m slipping on the rocks
And I get lost trying to follow
The rise and fall and swallow
Of a breath that leaves my stomach tied in knots
And still the morning light comes rushing in
So I’ll bring down the house
Just for waking up
And if I’m going out
Will it be enough
If I seek out the sun
Will the sorrow I’ve spun
Stand in tall ovation
In a chemical parade
For emerging from unconsciousness
Is it so much to ask?
For a sense of accomplishment
And a fleeting thought to last
Unleaving
So I’ll bring down the house
Just for waking up
And if I’m going out
Will it be enough
If I seek out the sun
Will the sorrow I’ve spun
Stand in tall ovation
In a chemical parade
So I’ll bring down the house
Just for waking up
And if I’m going out
Will it be enough
If I seek out the sun
Will the sorrow I’ve spun
Stand in tall ovation
In a chemical parade

Starring

Fingers in the sand
Oceans overhead
Hear the sound of blue
Feels like floating through
Melting honeydew
You were right
With wide eyes
The waves high
Erase the tide
Although it seems
It’s not a dream
It’s evergreen
And every scene
Starring you and me
Floating with the sun
Rainbow on my tongue
Bodies growing warm
Heaven at the door
Love is on the shore
Carried light
With wide eyes
Into the night
Electrified

“It is always difficult writing such personal things and knowing the people closest to me will speculate that they played a part in that. For me, this is a cathartic outlet. I hope it can be that for other people, too.”
