GUARDIAN
Give me purpose, give me trouble
I can take care of myself
Give me quarter in the rubble
Save your love and save yourself
When the pressure pops the windows
And the roof is ripped away
In the storm I will be standing
Shouting curses at the thunder when I pray
Feign surprise, hide your eyes
Will you remember me
Do you brandish me
Do you sacrifice me
Do you celebrate me
Do you conceal me
Never back away from daylight
Don't deny the truth you see
Look me in the eye one last time
The hand of fate beckons me
When the angels die at midnight
And the lightening screams with rage
Point to where your fear is hiding
Separate your soul from the violence that I wage

MESSENGER
A mob is making noise outside
A promise made, no need to hide
We’re friends today
Stand tall, salute the flag
My uniform is a tattered rag
I stand away
You see ships arrive from far away
You try to stay alive, send them away
I am a messenger
I am not alone
See the woman in her rags
A metal cart with all her bags
And you turn away
I saw a shadow in the glass
And heard a scream that didn’t last
You laughed it all away
The edge is sharpened now, so cut away
Our eyes stare at the ground, all led astray
But, I am a messenger
And I am not alone
Touch me, watch me
Touch me, watch me
Disappear
Show me, tell me
Show me, tell me
What you hear
I am a messenger
And I am not alone
I am a messenger
And I am not alone

Nowhere

NOWHERE
Nowhere to turn
Nowhere to hide this time
No words to say
No verse, no prayers, no rhyme.
Nowhere to go
That I haven’t left behind
I want to be alone
A place no one can find
Everywhere I look I see
Shadows stare back at me
And I know I’m never going to be the same
Nowhere to pin
The medals that I’ve won
Nowhere to kneel
Repent the sins that I’ve done
Nowhere to send
The ghosts that live in my mind
Nowhere to search
For clues that I can’t find
I leave behind
A restless mind
Pay the price
Nothing’s free
The path ahead
With memories fled
Eyes are open
But I can’t see
Nowhere to move
Don’t want to leave a trace
Don’t recognize my own eyes
On my face
Nowhere to turn
I can’t breathe in this place
Nowhere to run
I can’t lose this race
Everywhere I look I see
Shadows stare back at me
And I know I’m never going to be the same

FEEL
Seeing shades of light I never saw before
Bright and shining in my eyes
Dark and dreary don’t surround me anymore
Satisfaction in a radiant sunrise
I hear a symphony in every passing breeze
A rhythm playing in the wind
Scattered songs and tones and random melodies
A new beat for my heart, a heart that wants to mend
Do you feel
This thing that I feel for you
Do you feel
This thing that I feel for you
Private hopes and horoscopes
I wonder if you’re reading my mind
The compass spins around again
Are we who we’re trying to find
Do you feel
This thing that I feel for you
Do you feel
This thing that I feel for you
Do you feel the connection
When you look in my direction
Can you see a possibility come true
Am I someone that you mention
Do we share the same intention
Are my crazy wishes reaching you
Do you feel
This thing that I feel for you
Do you feel
This thing that I feel for you
