Tragedy
James would wake up every day get up and go to school
he became increasingly disillusioned and content to lapse into
these nihilistic tendencies that could alienate anyone
"everything is meaningless under the sun"
he could see through with a clarity at the height of the mind of man
but his vision left him lacking sinking quickly in the sand
he could run around in circles until he ends up in the ground
but where he looked for love it wasn't found
everything he tried left him empty and alone
and the reason that was his god now lies dethroned
the loneliness that lacerates would cut him to the bone
drowning in the rising tide sinking without a hand to hold
the poison in his veins sought to consume his very being
to think he'd find relief in death it was a lie a tragedy

Long Ride Home
Do you think you could open up a little?
let me see if there's a heart that's beating inside
it's not like I've got anything to offer
even though it's up to you to decide
so as we sit and drive down this dry and heartless road
I'd like to see things from your perspective as the highway continues to unfold
and now the clouds have gathered, I can almost smell the rain
and the one thing I want in the world is for someone to feel the same
and it's gonna be a long ride home, but we're coming home tonight
it's gonna be a long ride home, but we'll make it there alright
sometimes I start to wonder if you've ever looked inside
far past the trappings of society by which we're told to abide
you know I'd never be content just to live my life that way
always searching and never knowing, fading in these endless shades of gray

Astride A Grave
I tried to look at things in a way I never looked before
I tried to think of things in a way I never thought before
I'll lie awake at night and think about what once was lost
I'm coming to terms with guilt and despairing of the cost
but you would die again and again
It's a shame things are different now, but how do you expect me to feel?
It's not like it doesn't hurt to have a crack in this heart of steel
There's a lonely place inside no man alive can know
Touched only by the voice of God that begs me to let go
but you would die again and again
I'll dance the night with you until the morning comes
and you know I'll stay these twilight hours until the dawning sun
I'll dance the night with you until the morning comes
