Sitting on a rooftop, soaking in the sky
Douse my face in moonlight and interstellar sighs
He measured the circumference with shadows and a stick
He sent an emissary to walk the distances
If the Kingdom is inside of you, is too a place?
Can you enter in an instant, or do you have to wait?
A watch that's running slowly, that doesn't tell the time
Would drive some people crazy, while others wouldn't mind
Wrap him in a blanket. He's going into shock
Try to reassure him. Try to make him talk
Elevate the ankles. Let the wonder flow
Ignorance is bliss, though, it's something he should know
If the Kingdom is inside of you, could you enter now?
Do you have to have a passport? Would you be allowed?
A watch that's running slowly, that doesn't tell the time
Would drive some people crazy, while others wouldn't mind

At night I missed you the most
The setting sun pulling me
We'd park the car on the coastline
and listen to the melodies
Where was the sense of relief?
Where the gain through the loss?
Destitute in my grief
Too high a price, too high a cost for love
Eclipsed by doubt
I'm digging out
of all the misery
We worked so hard and
got so far
Some things are never meant to be
Damn untruths and the lies
The darkest road you led me to
Fickle minds like the tides
I didn't know quite what to do
A world ice-cold to the bone
Seemed everything was frozen through
I felt completely alone
Where could I turn if I couldn't turn to you?
Eclipsed by doubt
I'm digging out
of all the misery
We worked so hard and
got so far
Some things are never meant to be

Calling Me Home

Rain falls and scatters the ocean
Fingers cold tapping on glass
Streetlight, I've lived a full life
and everything must pass
All my friends went before me
Do they await me in Glory?
Calling me home
where fear and pain don't follow
I miss my dad
Will I see him tomorrow?
Calling me home
Flood stage swimming in memories
Rising rills lap at the walls
Currents tugging they take me
but I don't fight at all
River hushing the morning
Sunrise tepidly glowing
Calling me home
Calling me home
Calling me home
I feel the darkness fading
Family and friends
Smiling and waving
