Stretching Thin

Stretching thin and wondering where it is I'll be going
Clouds are covering crystal visions of what I've been wanting
Torturing my body right down to the bone I'm hiding
How can I release the burdens that I'm always holding
Rip me from the numbed out lines
That fill the halls with borrowed time
Let us not just watch and wait anymore
Let it go...
Sometimes I start to wonder
What the grind and grit is for
Drowning out the thunder
Blind to what went wrong
And I won't let them tell me
The pain is meant to kill
As light embraces darkness
The feeling is a swell
Every time I get to thinking yeah I start to wonder
How can I live a life on a road that's higher
Dancing on the pavement watching the rain start rolling
When I hear the truth oh I begin to whisper
Rip me from the numbed out lines
That fill the halls with borrowed time
Let us not just watch and wait anymore
Let it go...
Sometimes I start to wonder
What the grind and grit is for
Drowning out the thunder
Blind to what went wrong
And I won't let them tell me
The pain is meant to kill
As light embraces darkness
The feeling is a swell
Let me say it again, let me say it again
Through all of my years that have come to pass
I'm praying this darkness won't last x4

Since you've been away I've found mine
Every little way the silence spoke
Ever think of silence as golden
Ever wonder what had brought you here
Gotta get out x4
Wild and rose, the hardness goes
As you find your way
Day to day
If you run away you'll pass time
All the ways you fear just how they know
Every little movement emboldened
Ever notice how your feelings show
Gotta get out x2
If you feel the madness hold it
Comin out from every broken door
Little bits of paper burn molten
Filling up the spaces that turn cold x2
On the darkest of those nights
We somehow veered outside the lines
Gotta get out, gotta get out
Wild and rose, the hardness goes
As you find your way
Day to day
As each day begins unfolding
Listen to the words that ring within
Let go of the tension I'm holding
Silencing the mind will always win
Gotta get out x4
Wild and rose, the hardness goes
As you find your way
Day to day
Now you chose, to hit the road
And we fade away, not much to say

Mariposa

Like wispy clouds
On a crisp fall day
Settling sounds
And light sunrays
Birds in flight
Escaped its cage
The truth inside
To seize the day
Distance crossed
Dissolve your fear
Expand my lungs
Let Him draw near
Of hope and joy
And light and warmth
Empty boxes
Unpacked and stored
Waiting on the day
That I can move on
Won't waste another breath
On what is unknown
Moving on
Qu'est-ce que c'est?
Making time
For feeling safe
I won't fight
The way I feel
Let it linger
So I can heal
My pretending
Can't sustain
So I'm leaving
you today
One more time
Before I go
Oh I'll give you
Quite a show
The free life on
Mountain roads that I know
Clouds of smoke
And misty tears as they roll
With each breath
Something fell away
There was no word
To ease the ache
It had no place
Inside of me
But there it was, holding me
As she said to me:
And you? When will you begin that long journey into yourself?
And I replied:
I'm…
Waiting on the day
That I can move on
Won't waste another breath
On what is unknown
The free life on
Mountain roads that I know
Clouds of smoke
And misty tears as they roll

Oh...what kind of life could I dream of living
Everyone living for something good
When the lights dim and the night ascends
What is it that I want to do
Maybe I'm scared of feeling you
'Cause these dreams are blown
With dust in the sun
To grand and unknown
Graces undone
Places unfold
While searching for time
On wide open road
Just listen to know
Maybe this time I'll know more what I'm doing
Leaving and taking the higher road
And I wonder when the morning comes
What is it like to learn from love
Maybe we're just beginning
Oh...many a night I look up at the moonlight
Waiting for something to show the way
But I know now that the time has come
Gazing upon that midnight sun
Maybe the wait is over
These dreams are blown
With dust in the sun
To grand and unknown
Graces undone
Places unfold
While searching for time
On wide open road
Just listen to know
One time and then it's over
I've got to let it go
The pictures will fade so let's go go go
One time and then it's over
I've got to let it go
The pictures will fade so let's go go go na yeah...
