You woke me up, Grandfather
I'll never be the man you were
I'll never be the man you were
Your skin was rough, and calloused
With hands like Emmanuel
The hands of Emmanuel
See me fall apart
Is your spirit watching?
Please don't judge my heart
I don't know where to start
I don't know where to start
Flesh onto bone, am I Ezekiel?
I pray to the Holy One
I pray for a revenant
Open your eyes, you're only sleeping
Open your eyes, you're only sleeping
Open your eyes, you're only sleeping
You're only sleeping
See me fall apart
Is your spirit watching?
Please don't judge my heart
I don't know where to start
I don't know where to start

Reverie
03:08

Silhouette in the forest room:
Bony arms with feathered plume
Tonight I saw my shadow change into a loon
Winging to the moon
Feel the rush into open space,
Headfirst dive through the water's grace
Tonight I wrap my lover in a galaxy cocoon
We are living in a reverie
Living in a reverie,
No trap door our memories
Tonight our pulses twisted to the rhythm of the sea,
Tripping light beneath the deep
Everything is aeriform,
Ghost and matter unison
I can try to hide it, but
We are living in a reverie

Sometimes, I wish I could escape from the terrors in my imagination
Sometimes, I wish I could refrain from seeing the devil in my imagination
Sometimes, it gets so hard to think through all the screams I've locked behind my ears
Sometimes I don't know who to blame for the darkness in my illumination
Oh, look what's become of me
Look what's become of me
Look what I've done to me
Look what I've done
Lay me down to peaceful sleep
I'll no more hear the drummers beating
Lay me down to feel Your peace
I'll no more hear the lies repeating
Stop repeating, stop repeating, stop repeating, stop repeating, stop repeating, stop repeating, stop repeating, STOP
Sometimes, I wish I could escape from the terrors in my imagination
Sometimes, I wish I could refrain from seeing the devil in my imagination

This Old House

Will you find peace?
This old house is so full of memories
You have lived here for so very long
Will you find peace in your new home?
In this house, you'll never be alone
In this garden, you will tend your soul
Will you find peace in your new home?

Cloaked, huddled in darkened trees
Your roots surrounded me
Choked, we were teeming life
Our vines put out the light
Set a fire in our forest, and we'll start it all over again
There is life beneath the ashes, and I just want to breath if I can
Hearts are like branches—
They look strong, but they break when they bend
Set a fire in our forest, and we'll start it all over again
We're starting over again
Shout, bellow with all your might—
Our voices taking flight
Peace, there is no one to blame
Drop the match, and wear the flame
Set a fire in our forest, and we'll start it all over again
There is life beneath the ashes, and I just want to breath if I can
Hearts are like branches—
They look strong, but they break when they bend
Set a fire in our forest, and we'll start it all over again
We're starting over again
