School of Seven Bells, Half Asleep
Sometimes I go whole days listening bored, half sleep I won’t say anything that’s worth a thing to me One day, suddenly, time took a turn that once felt so brief I blinked to see polite ghosts fading quickly What begins as an unguarded train of thoughts slowly can become an addiction to the slumber of disconnection and the resonance of memory that no...
Phoenix, If I Ever Feel Better
They say an end can be a start Feels like I’ve been buried yet I’m still alive It’s like a bad day that never ends I feel the chaos around me A thing I don’t try to deny I’d better learn to accept that There are things in my life that I can’t control They say love ain’t nothing but a sore I don’t even know what love is...
Death Cab for Cutie, Pity & Fear
I have such a envy for this stranger lying next to me Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light With no words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake And there are no tears Just pity and fear No vast ravine Right in between A storm at sea the bow cracked and I was capsizing And I sunk...

Seasons
Walking through black pages and hope has escaped the leash, as though hiding away from me. And I walk through the path with dust, darkness and despair. But each new day, I’ll tear out the old. Let my feet touch fresh, clean ground. So there will be no congestion, and joy will flow free. This is the flag I will raise when the sun rises; one surrendering to Your will.
And when your reflection is lost in their eyes, we...
Safe & Secure
And in my quiet days I still find You waiting for me. By that secret corner in the sky. The part where the sun spills its orange magic on. The little bit that the moon shyly eyed. Even though I’ve scribbled my mess on these walls in black and red, I still find You finding me. I see the library of tears You’ve collected. In crystal bottles; You captured my pain in the room of your...

How He Loves Us, Jesus Culture
He is jealous for me Love’s like a hurricane, I am a tree Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy When all of a sudden, I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory And I realize just how beautiful You are and how great your affections are for me
Oh, how He loves us so Oh, how He loves us How He loves us so Yeah, He loves us Oh, how He...

Look through my windows
It’s not that I’m bumming around. It’s not that I don’t want to settle down. But look at that mess; look at all I’ve spilled inside. I can’t even structure myself, and expectations all fall onto my lap like how the leaves are supposed to wither and die. I carry on my shoulders and my heart, their tears and struggles. And if you can’t find my windows,...
I am found, in the arms of love
“Teach me your way, O Lord and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; You have delivered me from the depths of the grave.”
Psalm 86:11-13

It's my red star (conceal it)
I wish everyone wouldn’t be this tired. Because they can’t see me. But it’s alright ‘cause I’m used to fighting the woods and chase my fears away. So while I navigate my way out of this forest, I’ll be carrying their heavy hearts. I run on His strength.

Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. —Matthew 6:6
Recently I attended a memorial service for a gifted musician whose life had touched many people. The tribute to this Christian woman included video and audio clips, photos, instrumentalists, and speakers. After everyone had left the church, I stopped to thank the technicians whose flawless work at...
WHAT YOU WAITING, WHAT YOU WAITING, WHAT YOU...
TAKE A CHANCE 'CAUSE YOU MIGHT GROW.
Letter to Me
Why, where’s your glow? Lost in a sea of mocking smiles.
Vague and transparent, Like the mist and drift.
Plentiful crystal tears, All worthless in your eyes.
Empty calendars; Dried my eyes.
Where’s the crowd? Nowhere near me.
Clouds can’t reach me, Bleakness approaches.
Hear and act, See and know.
When I sound the alarm, Will you be there to catch?
You won't find me
Yes, I know. From their lips, come the same few sentences. Repeated; like as though purposefully driving me to the edge. And while I battle the monsters; their shadows casted all over my room, words like glass shards pierce my fort. As though they meant to destroy my castle and drag me to reality. So every night, after I am done with the chores, I’d climb through the window to a near tree...
