Telling The Hour

Punish me with the cruelest summer.
Terrify me with silence.
Make me desperate.
Let me wake alone, make me cry rivers.
You can rest your head at night
Knowing I deserved this.

Like flies in a jar,
I am mostly harmless.
Except for this vanishing hour of darkness.

Our Love Survives

Our love is true.
It’s why we fight.
What we defend.
And though our love is new and still beginning
It will be the end.
The world we knew, washed away.
The life we led, led us astray.
Now we face our greatest foe.
But we fear not, for we know:

Our love survives.

It will never die.
It will outlive the earth, the sun, and the sky.
Our love destroys anything in our way.
From the cities we burned, to the fools we betray.
Our love survives, it will always be.
No matter if we die or we live eternally.

Say The Word

If all the world were innocent and true.
One flag unfurled, a belief in all we do.
Wrong your rights, a change from what you are.
Refracting light, a billion tiny scars.

Fall apart, it comes as no surprise.
Fail to chart, a gauntlet of goodbyes.
Hold the line. But if you feel the need
Just say the word.

 

Bleed your life, your innocence will do.
Read your rights, believe in something true.
There’ve been times when you don’t even know.
Ignore the signs pointing where you’ll go.
Why you came doesn’t matter anymore.
Just say the word.

 

Breathe — defecting from the ranks.
Free — elude the armored tanks and break away.

On your mark with reasons not to start.
On your guard with terror in your heart.
