Skin and Bones

The train passed the station and left me standing there alone
it was the furthest point that I had ever been from home
and when I looked to see if there was anyone around
there were plenty of people, but not a soul to be found
What does it mean to be entirely inadequate at every single thing you try?
and the sum of your life, a list of fucking disappointments, not a single thing done right
I am inanimate, an object impermanent
(A bone can only bend so far before it cracks and breaks)
I wandered through the city, totally exposed
forced to bear the weight of the world on broken bones
when I turned to ask if there was anyone to help
there were plenty of people, but not compassion to be felt
What does it mean to be entirely inadequate at every single thing you try?
and the sum of your life, a list of fucking disappointments, not a single thing done right
I am inanimate, an object impermanent
(A bone can only bend so far before it cracks and breaks)
And all we are is flesh and bone.
What does it mean to be so god damn inadequate?
What does it mean to be me?

Make Me Move

Straining to hear the words that leave your lips
Feeling your fingers slip through mine
Paralyzed, my limbs are gripped by fear
I'm totally numb and on the outside looking in
And so should I separate myself from who I was before?
What will it take for me to find the empty home I lift behind?
I can't get out of my own head
Just want to know what's real again
I need the earth under my feet
I need the sound of my heartbeat
With a love that animates me
Make me move
Trying to find the words to say
But they all splinter on my tongue
I'm not asking for a miracle
Give me the dose, give me the pain, the point, the plan
I can't get out of my own head
Just want to know what's real again
I need the earth under my feet
I need the sound of my heartbeat
With a love that animates me
Make me move
I have resolved
To learn to love
Despite the circumstances
I've had enough
Give me the energy
Give me a dream
I want to feel again
To know what's real again

Carve Your Name

Mistaking love for weakness
Consciousness for fact
Ignoring or forgetting
Their own past
In practicing forgiveness
No stone left to cast
Hiding behind verses
Behind clean hands
Severing the part of me
That's just like them
Making him a memory
I'll forget
Begging for mercy
Pleading for pain
Reclaiming time we've wasted
Carving your name
Call this my kiss to betray
Hammering nails in the hands of a man without blame
Begging for mercy
Pleading for pain
Reclaiming time we've wasted
Carving your name
And all I ever wanted
Was everything you promised
I felt the holes in your hands
You left me empty-handed
And carved your name in me
Open your eyes and see your face for the first time
Open your eyes and see what God looks like
Are you listening to me now?

Turn around and see yourself
Through the eyes of the person you became
Draw your name in the ash and smoke
Then blow it all away
Help me find my way back home
Place the portrait of us in frame
Remember me in whichever light you'd like
Let's not forget that we are just visiting
We don't get to stay here
You'll convalescence and become home in time
Help me find my way back home
How bad do you want to be like me?
(Home on the periphery)
(Part of a broken machine)
(Caught in the nothing between)
How bad do you want to be like me?
