The White Dove

Oh I've found peace!
I'm a gardener of the afterlife
I plant the seeds of the dead and weary
Watch as I plow through my strife
Green pastures welcome the wind
Filling my lungs with widowed fears
Are you still learning to tend these fields,
As you welcome men of past years?
I pray to stay grounded
Let joy cleanse my veins
To water my fragile hearts
And wash away all of my pain
I never planned on leaving
One day I just walked
To the cold of the northern plains
Nearly there and my body just stopped
And I looked forward and saw nothing better
I turned round to see nothing but my tracks
I looked down and saw the road under snow
Peering up I saw the stars glowin back
I took her words for granted
And gave my soul to the girl
And now I find myself without a cause
In a place where my heart can see the world
I'm sure you'll never truly care
Care for my mind or for my love
I think I've come to terms with you
But that doesn’t make you a white dove
So I'll just tread these waters
And I’ll make sure my hands are clean
I’ll trim back my strong words
And I'll be sure that you know what I mean
Looked back and saw nothing better
I turned forward to see nothing but my tracks
I looked up and saw the stars above
Peering down I saw the road stare’n back

I'm not perfect.
I'm not stable.
I'm sorry that my fucked up life made me so frail
I'm sorry I'm not good enough.
I'm sorry that I don't know how to change.
I'm sorry I give a shit
When you cry or are in pain.
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
I should stop giving a shit about everyone I hate
To stop caring about money or if my music would be good one day.
Just be done with this. I'm tired of fleeing.
Sick of bashing my personal worth, as a fucking human being.
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
But I'll be fine, I'm always fine
Promise me you'll be happy.
Promise that our love will never fade.
Show me the path to bravery.
To the lighthouse beyond the haze

Words of Wisdom

I wish to hear you speak
You know how many times I've cried
I still have my love
Take my word, that love will never die.
I pluck notes and sing many psalms
My hands the reach to you
In a desperate attempt I struggle
To find love for myself, that I gave to you
So I pray
I pray and I listen
I pray
For those words of wisdom
I scream!
I scream for air!
I scream for home!
And what I'd found there!
I dream of one day to find happiness
The kind of joy that's only in my mind
I don't know how to get there
But I know in that dream I will not leave you behind
I need to pick myself up and wash myself clean
Not to just sit there and weep about my lost dreams
I need people to imagine all we need is love again
I pray
I pray and I listen
I pray
For those words of wisdom
I scream!
I scream for air!
I scream for home!
And what I'd found there!
I've got a computer full of sunshine in the pocket of my jeans
Yet no one has a dime to their name don't you see?
I wanna make a name for myself
I want to be somebody
Want to live!
I want to prosper and glide free
I want to see!
Peace by peace come in pieces
To come back again
So I'll pray
I'll pray and I'll listen
I'll pray
For those words of wisdom
And I'll scream
I'll scream for air
I'll scream for home
For what id found there
