Graves |
| Faint heart |
| World can wait for the weary hands to learn it’s too late |
| But I’m spit and I’m rough dirt |
| What do you want from me? |
| Faint heart |
| Tip of my tongue |
| A song like youth, wasted on the young |
| And it’s over and over |
| What kind of father could I be? |
| Faint heart |
| Rain to the spark |
| At last my light, giving in to dark |
| And the thought of it crumbling to dust, no, I was not done |
| Faint heart |
| I beg she won’t see the coward, the cur, maybe this is me |
| These hands shaped stone |
| But I’m scared like you wouldn’t believe |
| Faint heart |
| Only a glimpse |
| I was wrong, take it back, just let this one live |
| Then it hits me like ice to the bone |
| What if I’m just like him? |
| Good god |
| Give me the strength that I need not to be |
| To fight, not to flee |
| Or succumb to the beast underneath |
| What if he’s just like me? |
| Naked in the wild |
| All was reconciled |
| When I held my child |
| Quiet mind |
| Peace, reach |
| Quiet mind |
| Be at peace, reach |
| We are the fire that whispers our mother’s words |
| Help me, love, help me to finish it |
| We are the soil that joy gave form |
| We are the dream, and these are my father’s hands |
| Help me, love, help me to finish it |
| We are the soil that joy gave form |
| Rising waves cry, «He'll go first, he’ll go first» |
| (You know it al all that’s left of your dream) |
| (You know that it is true) |
| Is all this nothing to you? |
| (Hope sings to the dust of you) |
| Fear |
| (What if they were right?) |
| (He was always the better) |
| He was always the better |
| (The thief who shapes the world) |
| The thief who shapes the images you dreamed |
| (Dreamed for nothing) |
| All unfinished dreams |
| For nothing |
| (The images you dreamed were for nothing) |
| (Take back what’s yours, don’t keep me waiting) |
| (Take back what’s yours, don’t keep me waiting) |
| Just take back what’s yours, don’t keep me waiting |
| No more hope, broken pieces in your hands |
| (In your weary hands) |
| Waves rushing in |
| I’m waiting |
| I wait |
| He sees me |
| Waves receding |
| The child, healing my hurt, one day at a time |
| I’d feared it |
| Just like me |
| The child, healing my hurt, one day at a time |
| Storm’s distant |
| I’m still closer than ever |
| I’m healing my hurt |
| One day I’ll repay this kindness |
| Oh, he sees me |
| Whole |
| Her voice is telling me |
| To breathe and let it be, the lion |
| Heed my words |
| The man arise from earth |
| The life, the lie is worth, the liar |
| Heed my words, you’ll go first |
| The wound that would not heal |
| The boy, the broken wheel, the lion |
| Heed my hurt |
| The wind that whips the waves |
| The spit, the second grave, the liar |
| Heed my hurt, you’ll go first |
| We are the fire that whispers our mother’s words |
| Help me, love, help me to finish it |
| We are the soil that joy gave form |
| We are the dream, and these are my father’s hands |
| Help me, love, help me to finish it |
| We are the soil that joy gave form |
| Waves receding, and faith is fading like the sun |
| The work left undone |
| Greed brought us here |
| Soon, blood to soil |
| Now that has been taken from me |
| Tell me it was all for nothing |
| Alright |
| Play the part, the eyes, the witness |
| That I can touch you deep, can you feel this? |
| Alright |
| Breathe and let it be |
| Carving out the world that you stole |
| Bite down on it, dig a new hole, O hands |
| I beg you, break stone beneath me |
| Knowing that she won’t forgive me |
| Not this time, not again |
| But she married my anger too |
| And what am I to stay to my son now? |
| My work undone |
| Hands shape stone |
| Reconcile |
