When the pall of unlight rises above me and hollow voices fill the night It strips away the safe surrounding and leaves the bridge I cross, oh so bare This Burden this cross that I bear becomes the wake of yesterday with no hands left to hold Each day becomes another meting out the time Soon I learn this cross I bare afflicts one life, that's mine Mundane and magnificent and all things in between Leave the holds of yesterday, fall in something new This Burden, this cross that I bear becomes the wake of yesterday with no hands left to hold Each day becomes another meting out the time Soon I learn this cross I bare afflicts one life, that's mine Leave the holds of yesterday, fall in something new The path I never tread before, the live that’s left unlived becomes my cross to bear, adding to my fear This Burden this cross that I bear becomes the wake of yesterday with no hands left to hold Each day becomes another meting out the time Soon I learn this cross I bare afflicts one life, that's mine Soon the lessons learned are lost to yesterday becomes the wake of yesterday with no hand left to hold Each day becomes another meting out the time Now I know this cross I bear afflicts only mine Yesterday

You share your pain with me Close your eyes, I still see Try to absolve all of your sins You push away, it pulls me in You hurt so many times before You’re feeling dead inside again You bled so many times before I feel your time is near the end You try to stand but you fall again Battered clean so life rings through but you don’t think to see As the promises fall away, its easy to say that you’ve been broken Have you ever been whole? Will you ever be the person who had the chance, the life, the dream Sadness prevails, all hope is lost But we come inside to find shelter from the storms of life But we know that we will never find rest from this incessant storm

I went to take a journey, leave my home To shed the world, and be my own I traveled far and wide and came this way Brace all you craven fools Dried up desert in the sands decay It’s not the principle, it’s what is right If we are wrong, tell me who is right Brace all you craven fools, wither and decay See if the sun will shine on your dying day The sun has burned my skin My eyes are hollowed out Bones stick though skin like pins Dried up desert, in the sand decay It’s not the principle, it’s what is right If we are wrong, tell me who is right Brace all you craven fools, wither and decay See if the sun will shine on your dying day I saw her in a grove, she stared right back at me I felt my life was changing, I saw it in front of me Breathing, living, feeling, breathing Living, feeling, breathing, living There are no principles to what is right Everybody’s wrong, nobody here is right Brace all you craven fools, wither and decay See if the sun will shine on your dying day

I love to feel silk, but only if it’s strange Different, the variations move me And the willingness to be used, for the heart’s desire I feel this certainty, the saddest song I know Breathing deep the chance of one I’ll meet upon the road Reign your siege down on me The saddest song I know Seer the trust of union, bring back the life I know Bring back the life I know I feel this certainty, the saddest song I know Breathing deep the love of one I’ll meet upon the road Warmth runs though my heart and falls on spikes of doubt I am that entity as sure as Yesu and Pilate fall
6.
You came to me Your heart upon your sleeve A lost soul -- a momentary cry for sight A wayward journey from darkness -- into light If I were to fall would anybody care? If I were to fade away -- just disappear Crying out words you cannot speak Can I be so bold and ask you for your love You are the secret I don’t want to keep The catch is that you’ll fall right though Your heart I cannot reach As pure as a winter’s fallen snow A crimson sun sets on a life so full of hope I give you my all, my everything Break down those gilded walls and learn to live again
