about

This song is about my relationship with the darker sides of human thought.

lyrics

Celebrate the love that needs to be there
When it is there you can feel it all around you
In the morning it goes rushing through
those angels in their altitudes
I wonder if the airplanes in the sky,
feel the kiss of love before do you and I?

So maybe there’s a shattered silver lining
Among the needles and the souls lost in their findings
It’s the grace beside the prejudice
The pardoning of presidents
The mystery of why we are here at all
In the evening time just waiting for your call

Tell me why is it so hard?
Why do people act like gods?
When they take the love they got
And turn it into things they want
It is an ordinary thing
Seeing angels lose their wings
And what if there’s no reason to be here at all?

After all the loving and the fighting
And the citizens of peace have stripped what binds them
In the moments made for empathy
Will my brother just connect with me?
And save me from the wickedness that calls
Or must I fall into the emptiness of all of us?

And take a little trip into the valley
See the pain and all the statues from the mountain
In the ugliness of all of it 
Still reaches love anonymous
Her shadow cast though empty walls we made
Waiting in a simple heart of change

At my moment’s last request
When I can feel hate on my chest
I hope that shadow wrings me dry
And eats the anger from my eyes
To see the beauty in all things
And the painless flash of bringing myself on
Through the day and night
Into a vision lost in time
