We wake up like we had passed out watching movies
Swish through the day smoothly
Tonight we have plans
Plans of romance and comedy
Maybe they're dreams
Taken from the big screen
Something we're more than
You're only as bored as you let yourself be
Come down with me
Come down with me
You're only as bored as you
Let yourself be
If we drive fast enough we'll leave the past behind
In the present we find
The thing we want most
Indeed maybe that's the whole point
Maybe nightmares are the dreams that we're scared of
When they are gone
Our address is the latest cafes
That we pour out our guts to each other in
The barista put a heart in my latte
Oh baby, baby, and maybe this is where I'll stay for now

The heaven’s speak
Of God’s glory
I see the work
Of his hands
But I did not
Always understand
Just how grand
You came like a thief
You came in the night
And I saw the storm
And I saw the light
We traveled thousands of miles to be here
Your favorite sky is above me after all these years
We've seen the beautiful beach skies and sunrise
We only need to see one son lifted high
There is no one
Else that I'd share
This sunrise that
Can't compare
And we sit on top
Of a beat up car
It's only gas and God
That have gotten us this far
Here I am, Lord
I’m raising my hands up to the beach sky but then
You have me trying to walk on the ocean
One step, two step
Until I start to sink
But even in my distress the smile on your lips makes me think
You're proud of me nonetheless

Blind Spots

You take a bad equation
out of context
and I'm perplexed
You multiply the issues
When you say look
It's by the book
And you sink in a black hole
And the truth remains untold
It's confirmation bias
You can't rethink
You can't rethink
It's confirmation bias
You can't rethink
You won't rethink
Anything you've made up your mind
And you stay stranded in time
You can't see
Your own blind spots
I think it's sad that you
Identify
with rational minds
You had just one bad night
And that's when you decided what you'd do
Take what could have made you stonger
It left you in denial longer
You took the easy path
The easy road
yeah you're in control
Driving straight and narrow
Tunnel vision's
your decision
Master of your own destiny
But you can't see, yeah you can't see

Cast Your Cares

cast your cares on the Righteous One
seek Him ye who thirst and you'll never thirst again
His Truth is a fire
a fire that burns
Follow Him and every bond will be undone
we were slaves to the earth from dust to dust
we shall return
so cast your cares, oh, son of air
on the only Righteous One
cast your cares on the Righteous One

It's a starry night
The city means well
For a few folks our age
The girls'll never tell
Walking down the strip
Like a fashion show
When no one hits on you
It'll bruise the ego
Because growing up is not going as planned
It's got memories of good grades and Disney Land
Replaced with black cats and bee lines straight for a stop sign
Straight for a stop sign
Oh Peter Pan, you are going to break
I see you like an earthquake that's ready to shake
And trying not to lose your cool
Hook line and sinker on a spool
Hook line and sinker
It's a starry night
You're in your bedroom
Dreaming of lilacs
Hanging by the moon
You don't recognize
Your self-portrait though
So you get in your van
With nowhere to go

Kick!

I want to kick
I want to kick
But I don't want to hurt no one
But when I kick
It's you who hurts
And I am the one who is hit
I won't be tied down by a ball and chain
I won't compromise for my job or for my gain
I'll have a night out with the guys
Is this what husbands call a marriage?
When no one can look each other in the eye?
No more I'll stick around as long as the ship stays afloat
We're in this for life and it's one I know I need to
Sacrifice
I want to kick
I want to kick
The habit of individuality
So when I joke
It's you who laughs
And I am the one who is smiling

Sweet Talking

I got you a gift this weekend
Need an address to send
I don't know
You were a sweet rose before
But what's behind the thorns?
I'd never know
And now I think of you
Like a poster for a movie I never paid to see
Would you mind if we stopped the clock?
I don't know what is right
But I know what is not
Sweet talking in the fakest voice
Let's push these walls away
If our values lead to the same choice
We can push these walls away
What happens between when you die?
Then come back to my life?
I don't know
Fell off the world like you did
I never knew this kid
I'd never know
And now I think of you
Like a poster for a movie I never paid to see
Would you mind if we start again?
I don't know what is right
But we might have been friends
Sweet talking just to make the noise
Let's push these walls away
If we say something that destroys
We can push these walls away

Hot Chocolate

There’s this mug I’ve got
That’s never on the shelf
Because it’s half full
I carry it myself
It’s got the smoothest handle
I think I’ve ever felt
Brings warmth to my lips
For my good mental health
Yeah you’ve got a handle on me
And at dusk when I feel an Atlantic breeze
You bring me hot chocolate on cold nights
You bring me hot chocolate on cold nights
You bring me hot chocolate on cold nights
And you don’t even see all the insight
That you’ve brought for me
We’ll spend the next twelve hours
Driving a Kia Soul
It’s so amazing that
Time can move so slow
There is no coincidence
Each moment is seminal
Each crack in ivory
We will fill with gold
Yeah we can hold each other upward
You’ve made me a better person, (I showed you The Word)
There’s this mug I’ve got
It must’ve been a gift from God
