Real Brother

Can you feel me reaching deep?
You’ve always been a stranger to me
I’m just tired, and you’re angry
Lashing out at anybody’s anything
Maybe in his blood he just knows
All that pain you just can’t let go
Left to wonder why she left you behind
A real brother is better in your mind
And now I’ve left you out to dry
Another hit another chance to die
It doesn’t hurt when you never try
And you just can’t leave it all behind

Landfill

Lord, I’m having a hard time
Reconciling these contrasts in my mind
a good man but it’s hard to find
When everything tastes bitter in my life
It's coming down on me
Bury me at the landfill
An unmarked grave in the fury and filth
Maybe something useful can grow
Maybe I’ll find what you wanted me to know
I don’t believe in wings and halos
But I know there’s a fire down below
Do you speak in unbreakable code
Are you just impossible to know
It's coming down on me
Bury me at the landfill
An unmarked grave in the fury and filth
Maybe something useful can grow
Maybe I’ll find what you wanted me to know

I went and fucked it up again
Screws loose, I’m tired and broken
Loading bags at SeaTac for minimum wage
Sacrifice of these dreams I can’t take
But in those dreams I’m flying
Your decorated pilot
Call your ma so I can tell her
You’re man's no longer a failure
Prayer meetings and Sunday Youth group
Night school can’t get it for you
Dreams of flying, chained to the ground
Tonight I’m gonna soar over the Puget Sound
The snowcapped mountain skyline
so beautiful in the starlight
I wasted all of my life
So goodnight, Godspeed, goodbye
It’s the freedom of a head first cliff dive
But the water went out with the tide
You can call it a free fall in style
It'll all be over in a little while
This flight has been the best time
Of my sad sweet short life
I won’t get away with this crime
So goodnight, Godspeed, goodbye

Least Apostle

It’s impossible to stand
Against the ocean’s surging hand
A message I did not understand
A warning against this foreign land
A disconnect between what I say
What they observe in how we’ve behaved
A foreign tongue that's treated with fear
They got no use for our gods here
Don't tell me I’m the least
Don’t leave me swinging from this tree
A bag of silver at my feet
My heart just beyond your reach
The shouting drums, a rising threat
The arrows pierced my arms and chest
The rocks rain down and my last breath
Will thank you for this martyrs death
Consider me brave, unafraid
mangled in this sandy grave
or is it just another fool’s mistake
To come into the wild unarmed with faith
Don't tell me I’m the least
Mistake me for the enemy
Another wasted opportunity
these tears will wash your feet
The question becomes
Can you be sanctified without blood
The question becomes
Can you be forgiven for what you haven't done
The question becomes
Will we reject salvation when it comes?
The question becomes
Will we kill the savior that doesn’t look like us?

You think you know just what I’ll do
You think you know what I’ve been through
Caught between a holy fool and throwing a finger to the rule
My shirt is buttoned to my chin
The pew is worn where I sit
He speaks to you but ignores me
A phantom moving in the trees
The less you know
You can’t be exposed
All these rumors flying round
I’m guaranteed to let you down
Instinct moans, demands to be fed
Got these Violent dreams tearing through my head
It’s always dark when I leave the house
The beast inside is coming out
These romantic notions lead to nothing
A step to my self-destruction
It’s a hymn that comes up from the dirt
Something that was there before man’s birth
The less she knows
Can’t be exposed
And I will keep this fire hid
They can’t know what I did
And can you hear it?
Or do you feel it?
Calling, out in pain
Calling, in your name
