reformed to end

you can't rewrite history
you can't rewrite your wrongs
begin to start again
from the start repeat herein

i am no boar in the vineyard
truth lives, truth stands high
in the advent of crosswinds
let my stake stand vert
am i just an invasion to the wronged?
or am i an outcome to the caused?

take to the streets, fire brings warmth
lies bring death, burn the fire bigger
more lie filled paper to kindle heat
the flames stand a test of time

i tell you fear the rod and cry softly
am i a brand plucked from the burning?
i stare out of the second story window
the house is in flames, burn to the ground

you've convinced me of absolute impossibility
can i live at half mast, doubted part way
i will catologue my weakness
establish rules to overcome them

i went to them to convert
but whos here to convert me
lost by my own words
lifes great mystery is my own pit

its a quarter till nine
i feel my heart grow strangely warm
im saved from my pit, my sin, my own death
this unparalleled energy is my assurance

is my rebelliousness to tyrants obedience to truth?
im led by the cloud and fire above
most assuredly im justified
i take the sword to swing lifes end

redemption satisfaction

yeah you feel bad for all the inconsiderations
not because how i feel but because you forgot
it's natural to cover up the ugliness
whitewash the dark to coverup the scales

don't you know that makeup washes off
under the mask all is dirty
the rain falls day after day
the tears of pain of times forgotten

the rain washes the paint off
the makeup slides off to show the underside
my tears are cleansing in the undertide
im letting go of what is remembered

there is no capacity to radiate the dark
night falls too low to shine above the horizon
a new day of cleansing comes, it's to come
breathe of forgiveness comes at a new dawn

tears of anger brings tears of joy
where death ends life may begin
walk together into a new era of life
era that brings redemption satisfaction

these puddles are ours to watch
to see the relection of tearing eyes
dry up there weary child, look up
dawn has peaked, the sun as broken the horizon

redemption satisfaction has cleared my palate
i speak words of love, of deliverance
our hands hold, soft embrace of deep love
let us tie this day into sweet lullabies

goodbye my darling, walk into new eras

Better off

too bad you dont own me any more
slavery has been abolished in times past
my slavehood is my choice to live now
let the chains fall beneath my feet

i will no longer be a slave to the law
i am a slave by choice to the one who calls my name
his voice is silent yet beautiful
deep enough to break my hardest feelings

you can't control me, i know its hard letting go
it must be harder saying good bye, sweet smiles
this must be the end of our long road
my hands are blackened by soot, you led me down

im choosing to follow he who leads lovely
one till the end of hopes of a happy ending
this is my good bye, must be sad being you
my smiles never were so big to say goodbye

pressures release to find new life
too bad you couldnt hold on any longer
but believe me, we were better off apart
you bound me, we struggled to see eyes

i am better off without you
oh i am so much better
see me to the door, it will be a soft ending
i am better off with out you

peace will never enter your lips
how can hell even suffice your evil
care for a glass of water, ah ah ah, be gone
this life i choose to live shall live me free

im better off without you
im so much better
oh see me, i am so much better now, oh ah ohhh
i am better off with out you
