Hello again
It's been too long since we last met
How have you been?
How is your heart, where is your head?
I've got some things
You need to hear, I need to say
But my words
Just get in the way
I know it's hard, but I can't stand to see you like this
So I'm just gonna spit it out, please don't fight this
How can you believe in nothing?
How can you believe in nothing?
It's not a question I really like to ask
And I don't care if it makes you mad
Did you really think that I'd let you slip on by
Without asking you where you think you go when you die?
It's a simple question, but it means everything
So think carefully before you answer please
How can you believe in nothing?
How can you believe that there's nothing left in this life that's worth searching for?
Can't you tell the universe gives it away?
Why do you believe in nothing?
You could be living in reality
Let's break this open for dissection
How can you think that everything you see is just the result of selection
Things might come naturally and factually but that doesn't mean
That there's not a curtain that's concealing Who's behind the scenes
And I'm certain
One and one makes two
Red, yellow, and blue
It's primary, try very hard
To think, feel, force, and fight your way out away from God
But I don't think you'll get very far
Because of the words of the ocean, forest, mountains, sun, and the stars
Shout it out

Heart Of Fire

I get so nervous when I'm on my own and then
I get a little paranoid, and I'm alone again
I close the curtains like a blanket for my brain
And turn on all the lights so I can see everything
How am I supposed to handle the West Coast
When I think every shadow is a ghost
How am I gonna live on my own
When I'm so scared of the unknown
Look in My eyes, don't turn away
I never fail, I never change
So tell Me all your fears and desires
And I will love you
Don't be afraid, I know you're tired
Just close your eyes, you'll be alright
You can rest in My arms, I'll carry you higher
And I will love you with a Heart of Fire
It sucks that when the sun drops, so does my stomach
I make sure all the doors are locked, Oh, I've had enough of it
Everything is fine, it's all just in your mind
How could I be so stupid? How could I have been so blind?
How am I supposed to sleep when I'm this close
To knocking out the television cuz I think it's a ghost
How am I gonna live on my own
When I'm so scared of everything I own
Heart of fire

The Meaning Of Life

Tell me what it feels like
To live life like you're on your own
And go to sleep every night
Wondering if this is really your home
And if you're really alright
Why are you still looking for more?
And you might not think that I am right or polite
But I can tell you what you're looking for
Come on, come on
Don't you wanna know, wanna know
The Meaning of Life
You can't, you won't find it in your heart
You've gotta look up and out to see who you really are
Do you believe in God?
Or do you just believe in yourself?
'Cuz one will make you honest
And the other will just lead you to Hell
Who do you think that you can trust?
Your fragile heart or the One who made it to beat
Who do you think can make you sing?
Your empty lungs or the One who made you to breathe
Tell me what it feels like
Are you being honest?
Tell me what it feels like
Tell me what it feels like
Cuz your life is passing by and you don't even know why you even try
Because if you're honest, you don't want this
It's just a shell of reality, and just a hell of what's meant to be
This complexity vexes and hexes me
Just like alchemy, you take a bunch of worthless things hoping for gold
But it's not chemistry
The pieces need to fit, and you just need to admit
That the life that you aspire to does not create a fire in you
'Cuz to desire is to seek, and to seek is to find
And to find is to live, and to live is to die
And to die is to change, and to change is to grow
And to grow is to think, and to think is to know
And to know is to feel, and to feel is to do
And to do is to love, and to love is the Truth
And the Truth is to guide, and to guide is to speak
And to speak is to believe, and to believe is to see, yeah

Synesthesia

Tell me I'm bright to You
Tell me my sight is true
I've never been a colorful son
Just a dark grey hue
I'd rather not exist than not be filled with light
You are the dawn that fills the sky
Break me down, and build me up again
I wanna be a whole man for You
And I know that I haven't got the right
Fix my heart and make it new
Tell me I'm growing strong
Tell me my strength is gone
I've always heard every hum and noise
When Your love is a song
I'd rather die alone than not be near to You
You are my Life and my Truth
And when I'm tired and ready to let go
And when my arms and legs are sore
And when my heart is ready to explode
You remind me that I'm almost home
Tell me I'm bright to You
Tell me my sight is true
I've never been a colorful son
But You make me one for You

Be A Man
04:01

You'll never be a man if you don't try
You'll break her heart, and she won't know why
And if your love is just a lie
Then why can't you say good-bye?
If all is fair in love and war
Why are your words a sharpened sword
And if this life is to live and nothing more
Have you found what you're looking for?
And if your hands can hold the weight
And if your heart can give and take
And if your eyes can see her pain
Then be a man and set it straight
And you say this is the consequence of your father's lack of faithfulness
Or maybe it was your mother's heart, always giving you what you want
But you can never really change until you hate who you have been
And be a man, because that's all you are in the end
You'll never be a man if you don't try
I broke her heart, and I don't know why
