The night in the park with my face pressed in your shirt The moon stretched out its hands to where our feet kicked up the dirt. Your hands spoke in tongues and they brought my heart aglow. And the moon watched as our love defied the idle god of snow. /=/ It wasn’t long before time whisked me back to the grind But I never was able to get that night off of my mind. So I rid my own hypocrisy, and left that god behind. And I chose the spot beside you to keep myself in line. It’s head versus heart and it’s tearing me apart I know that without you I wouldn’t have come this far But I’ve taken my cross off. Promises all but dead. And now my heart and head won’t let me go to bed. Head versus heart doesn’t matter in the afterglow. The afterglow. The cool sheets wrapped around us hold me like a cocoon Only revealed to the world by light from the moon. On paris mountain, you carved your words on my heart of stone Like holy words from wrinkled papers now bound in bone. /=/ In wrinkled papers and bloody sheets, in both I can’t abide Without His loving followers decide to pass me by. Many struggle to understand truth behind lies, But Now that we have been I see the world with different eyes It’s head versus heart and it’s tearing me apart I know that without you I wouldn’t have come this far But I’ve taken your watch off. Promises all but dead. And now my heart and head won’t let me go to bed. Winter comes with all its sleet to freeze me in the snow. We use the dark to hide ourselves from trouble in the road. But this is not the world that we were born to live inside. I think we all know something’s wrong or is it in my mind? /=/ It wasn’t long before time whisked me back to the grind But I haven’t been able to get your face out of my mind. So I’ll write a new theology, and leave this time behind. And I’ll sing this song about you to keep what you’ve said in mind. It’s head versus heart and it’s tearing me apart I know that without you I wouldn’t have come this far But I’ve taken my ring off. Promises all but dead. And now my heart and head won’t let me go to bed.

Blue, Color Color me Blue With every breath I take Draw the fog at my lips In the color of the cold. As an artist will pain Frozen finger tips Carve for me the dark night of the soul. Color me Blue, Color Color me Blue Blue, Color me Blue Blue, Color Color Color Color! Of all the things I loved. That burned me up inside. They would melt and pass right though. What will freeze my skin? Turn it all to blue? Don't you know? It's all because of you! Color me Blue, Color Color me Blue Blue, Color me Blue Blue, Color Color Color Color! Blue, Color Color me Blue Blue, Color me Blue Blue, Color Color Color Color! Blue, Color Color me Blue Blue, Color me Blue Blue, Color Color Color Color!

When I see you I see your eyes - your eyes, they hold me inside And I know You know pain - you know it better than most But that won't hold me back We need more - more in life than that Now the end is drawing close And now those letters that you wrote Mock you in your mind's eye My life has changed and I don't know why 5 years 5 years That's all that remains Could you Tell me How to survive these growing pains A battle call Brings you to arms - and at arms you'll fall A twisting in your chest You cut them down - and lay them to rest Do you hear the bell? Does the sound - sound like living hell? Or does it take you back? To childhood days - days that won't come back 4 years 4 years That's all that remains Why won't We change This waiting's driving me insane Do you hear the bell? Is this the end that fate would foretell? That you will never live Known for the kindness you give 5 years 5 years There's nothing for you to fear I want You to know I'll love you even when you're not here

You and me, we are both the same. We are of the earth. We both the same. Come on, say it with me. Of the earth. how long shall i cry for help and you will not hear? why do you make me see iniquity? he made my feet like the feet of a wolf and set me secure on the heights. he trains my paws for war so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze Life is like flashing pictures, this position’s different, posing like some action figures, I begin to get it, thinking how I’m acting different, my resentments present, world is getting actually heavy, it’s getting actually heavy, ugh…but everybody’s facing that, racing thoughts keep racing back, erasing thoughts that fade to black, I’m chasing off the crazy path, I’m Nathan, often hate it that, it’s way too often hated that, it’s faded thoughts that made it back...but we’re all the same people, we’ve all had open doors but never made it through the peep hole, I’m tired I don’t know if I can hold anymore, and my eyes got more bags than a grocery store, see nobody chose their fate we’re not supposed to be poor, good thing I value things I keep so close to core, it approached me before, but I coasted and I chose not to detour when my thoughts go on tour, when I’m crossing it’s more than love….. You and me, we are both the same. We are of the earth. We both the same. Come on, say it with me. Of the earth. he bowed the heavens and came down thick darkness was under his feet, smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire his breath--thundered in the heavens! hailstones and coals of fire as he sent out his arrows and scattered them. he flashed forth lightning and routed them. i cried, "I am only of the earth!" when looking at reflections, mirrors speak more words than a teacher that’s correcting, just look into your eyes at all the memories collected, and I positively bet it’s way much better than expected, we struggle that’s life, we’re happy, it’s nice, we’re laughing, it’s right, we have to unite, a smile is contagious and I’m tryna spread it, see life will take its path and you just have to let it, as you’re walking down the street and all you see is faces, double knotted laces shoe to pavement, rocking all the latest, strive for greatness, stump debaters, be yourself, don’t worry much, don’t mind what’s in your box because I’ll trade you at lunch, like when we were kids, we dreamt to my astonishment, as big as a planet and then flew there on a rocket ship, everyone was equal and we didn’t have to ponder it, so realize it’s of all this, earth… You and me, we are both the same. We are of the earth. We both the same. Come on, say it with me. Of the earth. Were you angry with the rivers? was your wrath against the streams? Did you rage against the sea when you rode your horses your chariots to victory? You uncovered your bow, you called for many arrows. You split the earth with many rivers the mountains saw you and writhed. Torrents of water swept by and the deep roared roared my name lifted its waves on high. Sun and moon stood still in the heavens at the glint of your flying arrows, lightning of your flashing spear. In wrath you strode through the earth.
