golden horn

I can see their monsters
Coming in the night
If they take your life
They’ll surely take mine
Just don’t look in their eyes
Too afraid to face what I might find

We’re safe inside this golden horn
Waiting for the warning shot
To end this nightmare we call life
Don’t give up your fight
It’s not much longer
Just wish I was a little stronger

Make my friends my enemies
But this pill will let me see them again
And show me who you really are
Make me a burning star
You can’t cover my scars anymore

We’re safe inside this golden horn
Waiting for the warning shot
To end this nightmare we call life
Don’t give up your fight
It’s not much longer
Just wish I was a little stronger

November

If I told you I loved you
Would you hold me to it?
I never knew what those words would entail
Just that I'd miss you like hell
Its a cruel hand that we've been dealt
When you're so far and when I'm down like this
But even then you loved me at my lowest
And it may seem to be a strange coincidence
How we fell together like puzzle pieces
Call it serendipitous, call if fate
All I know is I haven't been the same
Ever since I saw you that day
Now you're begging me to say
That everything will be okay
And you ask me if I knew what I was doing
When I knelt on one knee
Well darling, I would do it again and again
Cause you're the only thing I would never change
And you're begging me to stay
Now that the worse is over
But its still November
And our time hasn't come
But it won't be long
Till I'm no longer gone

open at the start

Going back to where it all started
To where everything's one
And everyone's connected
Where nothing is left undone

Crazy how we spend our days
Chasing what we can never catch
Searching for a bit of happiness
Like its something to be found
Spent all winter at the bottom of myself
Killing time, waiting for my head to unwind

Going back to where it all started
To where everything's one
And everyone's connected
Where nothing is left undone
Maybe it will bring me back to my senses
And past all the denseness

Never found what I was looking for
Cause it never was where I was at
So afraid to open the door
Never realizing that there might be something more
But when you tore me apart
I found my heart

Going back to where it all started
To where everything's one
And everyone's connected
Where nothing is left undone
Maybe it will bring me back to my senses
And past all the denseness

kingdom came

so i know you're the only that reads this, hopefully i can find the words to say how i feel right now

Driving through the night sky
Watching America fly by
Counting down the miles
That lie between you and i
Tried my best to speed up time
But got caught behind the second hand
Swimming through the hourglass sand

If the distance doesn't kill me
The loneliness surely will
I'm trying to stay positive
And remember all the things you've said
Well you're the only thing inside my head

The tire tread is wearin thin
Just like my patience is
I'm on borrowed strength these days
But this waiting game
Is almost done
And kingdom is about to come


If the distance doesn't kill me
The loneliness surely will
I'm trying to stay positive
And remember all the things you've said
Well you're the only thing inside my head

Whatever it takes
Even if I break
We'll make it through
We'll make it through

when morning comes

Tell me what's on your mind
Cause I can't figure out
What's going on behind those eyes
Don't know what you've been hiding from
But if I made it go away
Would you stay another day

I'm fighting myself
Just to keep you around
Letting my baggage go
That's been holding me down
Getting rid of those skeletons
That were never my friends
And even though it happened once
It won't happen again

Can't take how you hold yourself down
And listen to those lies
That keep you up at night
And I know that you're scared
And can't escape your mind
But one day I'll find a way
To get through to you


I'm fighting myself
Just to keep you around
Letting my baggage go
That's been holding me down
Getting rid of those skeletons
That were never my friends
And even though it happened once
It won't happen again

home

Well its just like you
To always want what you couldn't have
And there's just so much
That I could never give to you
So I packed my bags and left the only home
I've ever known

I can't keep falling apart like this
Begging you to pick up the pieces
And put this mess back together

northern hemisphere

Yea it took a little over twenty years
But I finally got you here
And this northern hemisphere
Just isn't as empty anymore
Even though I'm more of a gamble
Than that sea
You still took a chance on me

We could spend all night
Listening to that moon sing
And when morning lights
I'd bring you home with me
To that little tree off center street

I used to write lullaby's
For those broken hearted lovers of mine
But they're still crying
So I left them with Gregory and Evelyn
But don't worry, I'll send them
A fine farewell saying all is well
Just tell them I've got a girl in mind
And not enough time

We could spend all night
Listening to that moon sing
And when morning lights
I'd bring you home with me
To that little tree off center street

And if Sunday comes
And I'm still not back
I'm not as far gone
As you think
