The Tiring Journey
There was a time that I was hanging from the edge of a very high cliff. I'm not exactly sure how I ended up there. I think it may have been a combination of events that led me to the cliff, yet it seemed so sudden. In a blink of an eye, I was not only on top of this cliff ledge, but somehow managed to fall too near to the edge and slipped down the side. It was almost as though I had been pushed. Though I could not say for sure what had happened.
I was slipping and my fingers and arms were becoming tired of holding on. I couldn't get back up, no matter how much I tried. It seemed...

False Hope
I remember when the suit that's hung for occasions was casual wear and the most exotic thing woman wore was their hair. We are progress and are yet a foreshadow of a foreseen doom. But we overlook doom and replace it with Jesus is coming very soon. Embracing custom truth and robbing truth from its authenticity. "Why worry about the whole story I just want to focus on me." "l don't need drama I need blessings." "Counting the gifts that my God gave me not even adhering to the warfare and trials that awaits me, why? Because the Lord takes care of me." While you remain in a place of receiving you...

The Enchantment of Heartache
Caught in the crossfire of an unspoken war I can't win
Dealing with the turmoil of loss and my sin
Chaos ensues in my aim to make a stand
Trying to speak on the authority of more than a man
Am I so familiar with the counterfeit
For the heart of fool’s gold in me?
As my self-resentment takes root in my hypocrisy
I survey the times and all that we've gone through
Drowning in the media static, the politics of opposing points of view
Caught in routine, as I run in circles, survival of the living dead
Sustaining this breath I'll...

Brad's Marines
Is it that our love has trained us for this moment?
Yet the irony stands to find our bonds are forged of vulnerability
When the same that is our map to the treasure of our joys
Finds every memory made is a set up for heartache in loss
Yet love is worth it all for the hope of something more
As we bear the burden of this cross
Angry in the face of death as these tears trail down
Every drop bleeds into a garden
What can we say in the moment of such sorrow?
But that we hope in things unseen
As we stand together as a family unit...
Yet the irony stands to find our bonds are forged of vulnerability
When the same that is our map to the treasure of our joys
Finds every memory made is a set up for heartache in loss
Yet love is worth it all for the hope of something more
As we bear the burden of this cross
Angry in the face of death as these tears trail down
Every drop bleeds into a garden
What can we say in the moment of such sorrow?
But that we hope in things unseen
As we stand together as a family unit...

In the face of this fight I contend
For faith in miracles and the thought of the end
When love is a promise worth a life of dying for
Eternal hope in the providence of something more
Every heartbreak is a cry for war
2
You are a timeless call
You are a new way to be
You are joy in the midst of sorrow
The establishment of identity
You are the life and the death of me
3
Following the way of rebellion and pride
A sinner externalized is the same as inside
This flesh that craves wrath ...

Forsaken (repost)
Should I leave my honesty unspoken for the sake of truth
When vulnerability finds me here, I live in a question
So sure of what I know for a mother's love that affirmed me
Yet evidenced beyond sentiment unto confidence derived of experience
But there are still things I do not understand
Left in a place of trusting despite disappointed expectations
Life changing events of free will and consequence
Still failing to reconcile reason to faith
Where the same that shakes me is what teaches me to believe
When our sight is our blindness my eyes...
When vulnerability finds me here, I live in a question
So sure of what I know for a mother's love that affirmed me
Yet evidenced beyond sentiment unto confidence derived of experience
But there are still things I do not understand
Left in a place of trusting despite disappointed expectations
Life changing events of free will and consequence
Still failing to reconcile reason to faith
Where the same that shakes me is what teaches me to believe
When our sight is our blindness my eyes...

The Funeral of Doubt
Everything in me aches for you
My heart is like an anvil
Thoughts of you consume me
It hurts to be so far away
Feeling like every moment is critical
Part of me is here
Yet I continue to groan inside
Anger is a fire in me
The anguish is an overwhelming undertow
I try to maintain a level head
Steady waters in a deep and distant ocean
No one can see what swells beneath
Its 2 am and I can’t sleep
I have a battle cry within
Waging war on an unseen enemy
Everything reminds me of you
Taking a calculated...
My heart is like an anvil
Thoughts of you consume me
It hurts to be so far away

The anguish is an overwhelming undertow
I try to maintain a level head
Steady waters in a deep and distant ocean
No one can see what swells beneath
Its 2 am and I can’t sleep

Waging war on an unseen enemy

These Are Not Your Final Days
Heavy hearted and this weight that I can’t shake
Invisible fractures beyond mending
Trying to find a way to cope with this heartbreak
When death is a way of life
Breathing as you slumber, it hardly feels like you're alive
What does it mean to improve quality?
Make you comfortable as you pass or fight to just survive
A little while longer now, when I'm lost in a haze
Surely it is not the end and these are not your final days
Recovery, wake up and speak to me
If I'm a fool to have faith when everything seems so certain a loss
I will...
Invisible fractures beyond mending
Trying to find a way to cope with this heartbreak
When death is a way of life
Breathing as you slumber, it hardly feels like you're alive
What does it mean to improve quality?
Make you comfortable as you pass or fight to just survive
A little while longer now, when I'm lost in a haze
Surely it is not the end and these are not your final days
Recovery, wake up and speak to me
If I'm a fool to have faith when everything seems so certain a loss
I will...

Tell Me What To Say
Tell me what to say to make it all go away
When I feel wrong for living as your dying
Just breathe I tell myself
Continue to live and smile, I'm trying
We've got to agree, and I feel ridiculed for honesty
Trying to handle it all the right way
To become what I preach and not just say I believe
You're still alive in some way
But still I feel my heart grieve
It’s more than I can take and beyond my ability to convey
Will I see you before the end, just tell me what to say?
Settling in, this sorrow is playing tricks on my mind...
When I feel wrong for living as your dying
Just breathe I tell myself
Continue to live and smile, I'm trying
We've got to agree, and I feel ridiculed for honesty
Trying to handle it all the right way
To become what I preach and not just say I believe
You're still alive in some way
But still I feel my heart grieve
It’s more than I can take and beyond my ability to convey
Will I see you before the end, just tell me what to say?

When Warrior's Fall
Tragedy ebbs and flows
Like waves against a fractured heart
Divided by faith and the weight
Broken on the inside
And desperate again
Drowning in what if's praying I won’t give in
When the lie seems to tell so true
And sight is my obstruction to seeing You
Seeking something to soothe
The sorrow that won't let go
As the trial steals my serenade
I'm still cleaving to what I know
Moments like waiting rooms between
Relative realities and something unseen
Learning to believe despite what I feel
Tell me what is fake and what...
Like waves against a fractured heart
Divided by faith and the weight
Broken on the inside
And desperate again
Drowning in what if's praying I won’t give in
When the lie seems to tell so true
And sight is my obstruction to seeing You
Seeking something to soothe
The sorrow that won't let go
As the trial steals my serenade
I'm still cleaving to what I know
Moments like waiting rooms between
Relative realities and something unseen
Learning to believe despite what I feel
Tell me what is fake and what...

When Hope Feels Like Deception
I'm at a loss for words and you
When all I could say isn't enough
To express my heart
And match the legacy of your love
A touch unparalleled
And all the things I've put you through
You never deserved the sorrow
For all the years gone
I can’t help but dream of you
Waiting for tomorrow
Praying for the strength to carry on
Grid locked for circumstances
Concern speaks for scenario drills
Depression like lethal romances
Not knowing is half the battle when anticipation kills
Perceptions of selfishness...
When all I could say isn't enough

And match the legacy of your love
A touch unparalleled
And all the things I've put you through

For all the years gone
I can’t help but dream of you
Waiting for tomorrow
Praying for the strength to carry on
Grid locked for circumstances
Concern speaks for scenario drills
Depression like lethal romances
Not knowing is half the battle when anticipation kills

When The World As We Know It Fades Away
Asking for joy in the face of what seems like obvious reasons for sorrow
The uncertainty is the void filled with questions that rehearse the fears of tomorrow
Perspectives out of alignment in the battle of emotions and faith
Perception is delusion capsizing with every wave
Our tears solicit for comfort in the midst of the lie
Tragedy won't last forever though your lost in the realm of why
Dissonance, the disconnect, healing greets us when we die
And even should we depart in the here and now, this is not goodbye
You say we'll beat this...
The uncertainty is the void filled with questions that rehearse the fears of tomorrow

Dissonance, the disconnect, healing greets us when we die
And even should we depart in the here and now, this is not goodbye
