Rainy Day

I've been hungry for a taste for a lonely time
He's been growing in the back of my mind
With dirty hands and cold black eyes
It's just a rainy day
I know the world's not spinning my way
I've been dizzy from watching the ground
I'll take my shoes off
They're not helping now
I've been trying to keep my feet dry
It's hard when you don't know why
I'll get wet if I take on step
But how long can I stay inside

Excuse Me, I'm New

Sunshine through the trees, mid-May
Seventy-Eight degrees, come out and play
Lonely cloud in a blue sky moving fast
Slips in front of the sun but it won't last
We let our minds fill space we haven't seen
Up with the problems past that we believe
All our worries once projected come back to haunt our home
I won't spend my time with them, I live
Alone
For three hundred new arrivals
Spring brings meaning past survival
No one worries at the sunset
Or distrusts what has not failed yet
Feel free to take some time
It's yours
Master of all the lives that went before
Father's father, ages past
They seem fine
I'm ashamed to be so nervous now, it's mine

Underneath streetlights, spending my cold nights
You, walking away
I loved you one time, easy fall, hard climb
Now I've found my wings
Wander a city full of the sleeping
Leaving me only
Awake and lonely
Chasing these day dreams into the night
Roundabout way home
Killing time, walk slow
Less waste of a life

I fear not for the things of men, but I fear the thoughts that are in my head.
The Devil owns a piece of me, and I can't break free.
When I lift my head in the morning sun, all the people look and the demons run,
When I lay it down in the dark of night, there's something not right.
They look to me to be their King, I am strong and I can sing,
But they don't know what I feel inside, what I can't hide.
No man can bind my bones, and those who try don't go home.
But I'm bound up tight at my very core and I can't take much more.
I'll lead them on while they still believe, they don't know, they only see,
The hero that I'll never be; the one in my dreams.
If I break in a day or two, then they'll all know what I always knew,
I'll share the secret I couldn't keep, and they'll bury me deep.
All this time that I lived a lie, the times I almost lost my mind,
I give up the man I've been, I won't go back again.
God grant me this, my final plea; I die as someone I want to be;
However they remember me, I need to know I'm free.

Change Me Now

Does it hurt an inchworm, to rip out of his skin?
I was not made to stay the way I am.
He tears away the silk and flesh that was restraining him.
I was not made to stay the way I am.
Change me fast but change me gently,
It hurts to move and hurts to stay the same.
What makes a seedling push up from the dirt?
I was not made to stay the way I am.
Scraping to the sunlight through the gravel it must hurt.
I was not made to stay the way I am.
Change me now, if you can do it.
It hurts to move and hurts to stay the same.
