Couldn't Stop Caring

Volunteer Pt 1

If you draw a line
You will find It will never end

You are here
A Volunteer

YOU ARE THE WARNING

Our love comes in waves
Our love can soothe the souls of those who can’t be saved
My heart consumed with rage
Now rests in peace with those who knew the golden age

You can live or die
You will go where you decide
We are our best defense
You can kick and scream or plan in silence
You must speak your truth
It all comes down to you and only you

You can’t let go
You are the warning baby don’t you know
You are the warning
You will have to break my will and strike me down

Couldn’t Stop Caring

I could see the signs
She was fixed to fly
It’s always better fought than won
For those not afraid to die

I couldn’t stop couldn’t stop stop it

Caring started it
I can’t stop it
Caring started it
I can’t stop it
Caring started it
I can’t stop it
I believe it’s too late
I can’t stop it

It’s all the same
She takes the world
And I take the blame

It’s all the same
She wants to drown
And I break the chain

It’s all for you
You get the change and I give the truth
It’s all for you
Take it to depths they never knew

I couldn’t stop couldn’t stop stop caring

Shot down
She’s coming like a hurricane
Shot down
She’s in love with the pain

I couldn’t stop couldn’t stop stop caring

Aching To Live

Sound on the wire
Bathe in the light
There is a world making angels in the night

Fold back the sheath
There’s life underneath
There is a world making angels out of grief

Hide in the cracks
Prepare for attack
There is a world taking all its angels back

Floating away
Drift into space
Bound by no time or place

Fly free
Allow yourself to see
All roads are one way

Never alone, always they’re near
You now are clear
A volunteer

You will feel it
Perfect by design
The truth is too divine

Words will fail you
Closer to your faith
We can be saved
It’s all to give
When you’re aching to live again
Into the sky
We can not die

The Lightness

Touch down
I can’t get settled in
Face down
It’s how we all begin

I wont give in
If you don’t give up
They think they’ll win
But that day will never come

I’m never going back to live with tethered rage
I’ll never let them put my wings inside a cage

Given up given up what came before this
I’m gonna live gonna live inside the lightness

Both feet we packed the lightest heat
Head strong we know we can’t be wrong

I’m gonna live gonna live inside the lightness
I know that nothing else is like this
I’m gonna live gonna live inside the lightness

Your Enemy

Pay attention
New religion
Ya you know I believe it

All before us
Can’t destroy us
You oughta know I believe

No fire no blade no bullet no stone
You’ll never get away with what I own
I can be your enemy

Comin in comin in comin strong
Pushing too hard to admit it’s wrong
I can be your enemy

You oughta know I believe it
Ya you know I believe it
I will be your enemy

Look at me look at me look at me now
You stand your ground but you’re in my house
I will be your enemy

Nowhere to run and nothing to lose
Damned if we don’t and damned if we do
I will be your enemy

What am I seeing
What am I breathing
We’re all just beings
Sorting it out

Holy darkness dragging truth of love and hate
You are me and I am you

I am not your enemy

A Simple Plan

I’m addicted to the tide
when it comes i close my eyes
I’m in line
I’m inside

I’m addicted to the day
We burn out and fade away
When it’s gone it won’t come back
A ll is black

I see the world bending
I can’t believe it’s real
I know it all is ending
And you can make it heal

What is this space we’re climbing
What is this place we’re stuck in
Why do we feel we’re sinking
How do we get out – get out of this

Here it comes it’s out to destroy us
I’ve got a simple plan
Here it comes it’s out for blood
Got to get out while we can

It all comes down it’s caving in
losing my sense of how long it’s been
I’m laying it down and letting it go
The truth arrived too slow

How long can we hold off ending
How long can we pretend we’re ok
No one goes on fighting it forever
I know I’m better this way

My Heart Wants Blood

I give you more
I breathe your breath
I can’t exist on what is left

Electric eyes
My heart won’t bleed
I won’t survive
Atrophy

All the same
There’s only so much space
And I’m to blame
I am beneath your grace

All the same
I now release you as I should
But all the same
My heart wants blood

I can’t live any way you want for me
I can’t live any way you care to see
I can’t live
All the pain I ever knew
I can’t live
There’s nothing left, it’s all for you
I can’t live
With any dream of yours untrue
I can’t live
I blame myself for loving you

It’s all true
I blame myself for loving you

Valentine

It’s a cold, cold february night
Gone are the days that go down without a fight
I hold this place for your return
Your soul in space, your body burned

I fear the worst, that it’s too late
Defeat this curse and wipe this slate
All is as it is on the needle on which I live

All is as it is

When the storms of ice came
And carried you away
You were swollen and worn
Bodies can break

To die in dark matter
And slip through its sieve
To overthrow demons and simply exist
And the fiercest love and all it’s power
Can not return to before the hour
And bring song to a bird

I live for you my valentine
The lights can fade but you still shine

Volunteer Pt 2

All the openings
Require growing wings
Only falling from the sky
We learn to fly

You are free, you’ve been released
All the pain has finally ceased
On fields of air
You’ve come prepared
You are here, a volunteer
