Do the dead leave the living
do the living leave the dead
do you have an escape route
from the darkness ahead
does the thought of what comes next
fill you with hopefulness or dread
'cause all we know is there ain't no coming back
'Cause your desire will collapse
and your will to live will be sapped
and you'll be too weak to say please
or get down on your knees
from your first to your last breath
the covenant's been to die the death
and it might just cut to black
'Cause it's been my experience
and the way my life's been led
that it always ends the same
you leave as you came
but you can move as it careens
or try to figure out what it all means
but you're still gonna end up
getting kicked in the sack

Who gave for rain hail
and flaming fire throughout the land?
Who cut down the vines and all the trees
and turned the fields to sand?
The trumpets sound
and what the fires left
the waters drowned
Judgment and mercy
eternal nursery
behind everything that you do
Judgment and mercy
a whole life precursory
nothing can't be taken from you

The slanting sun
said, "Close your eyes,"
parted blue clouds
from the skies
Through the leaves in the trees
the light gets shattered
on the trail in the woods
with your ashes scattered
Red sunlit eyelids,
things revealed that were hid,
bright morning skies rise
no matter what you did

Different Person

I was a different person
last night when I laid in bed
I was a different person
till it all went to my head
I keep changing all the time
since I sealed my own curse
I keep changing all the time
and always for the worse
I was a different person
when I made up my mind
I hope I was a different person
when I was so unkind
It's just my outsize pride
always getting in the way
when I already forgot
what I learned yesterday
I was a different person
or so I thought
tried to change for the better
it was all for nought
And I know
where it all went wrong
where it started to degrade
it was when I dug that ditch of loneliness
with insecurity as my spade

Dry your eyes Mom,
I'll be home today.
Though the snow is falling,
I'm on my way.
I didn't mean to leave so soon last time,
it's just that it all happened so fast.
It might've been selfish or wishful thinking,
I just didn't think that this would last.
I am sorry; I only thought of me.
You were in so much need.
Y'know last night I crashed Dad's Benz
a block away from the funeral home.
That was where
we saw him last
about six years ago.
I am sorry; I only thought of me.
You were in so much need.
