I See A Darkness

Three o'clock
Are you listening?
Four o'clock
What am I missing?
Five o'clock
I keep resisting
To no avail
Tear my heart in two
Split it right down the middle
I don't have no more room
But these holes I keep trying to fill
I don't believe in Heaven
I don't believe in Hell
But all I see is darkness
Where the light used to dwell
Three o'clock
We hold each other
Four o'clock
I'm with another
Five o'clock
I just can't stop this carousel
All I find are lovers
When all I need's a friend
Keep them just past striking distance
To protect them
I don't believe in Heaven
I don't believe in Hell
But all I see is darkness
Where the light used to dwell

This Fire

I can't fight this feeling inside
This power you have over me
I feel it in places I've never known
I know I can't live without you
This energy is burning so hot
It fuses my flesh down to the bone
Inside
Inside
Inside
It feels like I'm on fire
My soul is electrified
Everytime you get close to me
The glow lets me known I'm alive
This enery is burning so hot
It fuses my flesh down to the bone
This fire
This fire
This fire

Nacogdoches

You, me, and the highway
Make the Trinity
Tears upon the windshield
Evaporate by the Sun
Mother Mary of the open road
With her Christmas child
A Datsun for a manger
A halo of endless sky
Tucumcari to Nacodoches
More than embrace
Own my choices
Experience is rich
With struggle so casual
Gloria gave me an anthem
That I live than take for granted
So much more to gain
Then there is to lose
I'm gonna raise this boy
And finish school
A village's kindness
Lives in a mother's sigh
While I'm out there taking classes
Neighbors keep a watchful eye
In my times of doubt
I remember a fateful truth
As long as we have each other
There ain't nothing that we can't do
Tucumcari to Nacodoches
More than embrace
Own my choices
Experience is rich
With struggle so casual
Gloria gave me an anthem
That I live than take for granted
So much more to gain
Then there is to lose
I'm gonna raise this boy
And finish school
Tucumcari to Nacodoches
More than embrace
Own my choices
Experience is rich
With struggle so casual
Gloria gave me an anthem
That I live than take for granted
So much more to gain
Then there is to lose
I'm gonna raise this boy
And finish school

Senseless Crimes

Baby, baby, baby
I'm so cold now
That I'm no longer warmed
By the glow inside you
You're the tear
That's frozen in my eye
The night the bridge collapsed
Derelict beds for debris to lie
Silted floors of doubt
What man am I?
Commits these senseless crimes
What man am I?
To do you wrong
I didn't trust
The truth of love's promise
Only the snow reflecting moonlight
Craving, craving, craving
The gift of your truth
No such gifts
Will be given now
To the underserving
Rustling winds
They hiss their disapproval
Howling from the East
Condemning the hearts of men
Who behave like beasts
What man am I?
Commits these senseless crimes
What man am I?
To do you wrong
I didn't trust
The truth of love's promise
Only the snow reflecting moonlight
What man am I?
Commits these senseless crimes
What man am I?
To do you wrong
I didn't trust
The truth of love's promise
Only the snow reflecting moonlight
