The morning roars
a beast waiting outside
The morning roars
and there's dread in the sunrise
The night before the only words I prayed,
"Don't wake me up"
For one hundred more the only words I'll pray,
"Don't wake me up"
Morning roars
The firmament swells
tearing itself
one heaving breath
taken til death
Morning roars
The mummified wake
from alkaline lakes
feel ruining time
see cruelty of light
I pull my sheets wrapped as bandages
from my skin
Rise from my bed as the grave that I buried
myself in
The morning roars

Deep Space

Distant, I awoke distant
I awoke in deep space
from the sound of nothing
I awoke distant
So distant from you
Weightless, I'm awake and weightless
I'm awake in deep space
Suddenly outside it
the super massive conscience
Inside I could not fuse
There's no more impulse
for distress signals
I'm on the backslide
far from the narrow road
Where your absence doesn't feel like lack
Even in the gaping black
So I'll be
What I'll be
I'll be
What I'll be
I'll be alright

Is it better left alone
in the vacuum of the soul,
all unheard sound and thought?
I don't know
Cause I only take away
with every word I try to say
And the sound breathes diluted
in its escape
I can't find the reason
in why I don't let go
A man with so much dreaming
has little life to show
My unsure hands subdued by sinking thought
This thing is a fire
that I can't get to burn
Embers breathing tired
all the heat dispersed
With ashes in my lungs
I scream to be heard
But what is it worth?
What is it?
What is it you think you need?
What is it you really seek?
Giving til you're empty
But you aren't owed anything

Brother

Brother, you look like
Abel, the favored son
Every piece in line
all of you is made of love
It gives you form and weight
and color still in your veins
How did you stand stable
Oh, brother, ever able?
How your hands were blessed
they knew not to transgress
In all things you were sure
And his eyes saw you as pure
He loved you better
Brother, why can't I
be what I try to be?
Is the blood of Cain
the truest part of me?
Running so cold and thin
I must be translucent
I cannot hide my shame
though I try to turn away
Cause there is no deceiving
My gifts will not please him
Is there nothing I can do?
From the start was I doomed?
Am I not lovely in his sight?
