The Death of Atmo

A sphere spins in the cold abyss,

So cold that air does not exist.

Around this sphere, Atmo gave life

To everything that lived inside.

Atmo encircled this blue dot

Like a bubble, easy to pop.

Atmo was not adamantine

But made of vapour, thin and fine.

Some on the sphere did not believe

Atmo was a living thing.

She could die like all else

When poisoned by gas and smothered in filth.

Atmo died a slow, long death,

And the life she gave struggled for breath.

A sphere spins in the cold abyss,

So cold that air does not exist.

Hallelujah

Maybe I don't know the truth

And I don't know what to do

I just know I'm safe here with you

I'm not searching for wealth or fame

Just a place that calls my name

And my heart will cry out

Hallelujah

Ghosts

And the ghosts return
To tear what's been sewn
You see the blood, red and warm
Running down from the thorn

Flashes of pain long ago,
Shut your mind, louder they grow
I'm free but it hurts
The suffering it took

To rise from the ash
Help me to distract
Recall the triumph

What's passed

Live in the now
Stand firm and stand proud

'Cause when the haunting begins
And the sky is darkened
And I’ve lost who I’ve been

I’m defeated

I’m Defeated

Again

And the truth returns
To mend whats been torn
See the light, bright and warm
Calling you back home

What was dead is now alive
What was buried is now aflight

Chasing the light

Carrying life

But I go back to where I hide
In the cave I murder time
Recall the gall and the pain
Strolling down the lane where my demons reign

'Cause when the haunting begins
And the sky is darkened
And I’ve lost who I’ve been

I’m defeated

I’m Defeated

Again

And so

I sit

And write

And so

I find

Out why

I believe

I’m still

Alive

And so

I sit

And write

Cause when the haunting begins
And the sky is darkened
And I’ve lost who I’ve been

I won’t give

I won’t give in

I recall who I am
And to the name I’ve been bound

Where I live now

In this kingdom

Where theres no fear of whats to come
Cause I know whats been done
And the victory thats won

This Love

Undefeated

The Royal Mountain

Petals on the trees
With Branches of beauty

Fooled by the promises of peace

The garden fell
Into the valley

Forsaken in the Shadow of the King

The darkness reigns down
The clouds call out

The Snakes gather around
Stones rising from the ground
A wall grows and blackens your crown 

Then the serpent turns to sword
And the stones becomes a road
A friend begins to take the wall down

Brick by brick

Brick by brick

Brick by brick 

His love rings out

"Hear my voice

Trust my words

I am known

I am Known

In your heart 

In your mind

In your soul and in your arms

Know that I am for you now

And I will wait
For you to let
Me lead the way back home
And if it takes
A thousand years

You are where I belong

Whichever mountainside you're on."

The Pharisee

A child sang of timeless stories
About a King and his bride in pain
His love for her stretched across the seas
Yet her wild heart led her astray

Time again she faced her end
Crying out to her beloved
When all was lost and nothing left
He returned to keep his promise

Beautiful satin gowns
For his beautiful faithful Bride
A filling feast where all would feast
From far and wide
A home to keep her safe
With no fear of wicked thieves
Who storm and raid and overcame
Her in her darkest dreams

I await the promise of my king
Whom no words can describe
My king will rescue me in stride
Just as the serpents head was cut
So will it be for Rome
Then finally
We will win back our home

Here I stand
Face to face
With my mighty King
The one for whom I have lived
This man he claims to be
He tells me that he is he
And my heart is rotten and cannot see
And what I do I do not for me
But devils in their devilry

Who do you think you are?
That you would free me from slavery
From which I have already been made free

You are not what you claim to be

You are not what you claim to be

The King to lead us in prosperity
When the glory days flowed with wine
And this Kingdom used to be raised high
Mount Zion to shine
For all to adore
And our enemies
Would mock us no more

No more

Our hope is weak
But it still stands
And it will not stand for this blasphemous man

Who do you think you are?
To mock who we know we are
The bride for whom our King would die
To keep his promise to mankind

Nightmare

I can't see the ending
My eyes are fading
What can wake me
From this nightmare

Yeah everyone gets sad sometimes
Has some bad nights
When you try to talk it out
It gets waved off the shelf
Its just a bad dream
Every person has them who sleeps
But little do they know
Don't they know

Most people wake up

And don't mess up what I'm saying
I know its not all the same for every type of pain
But for those with brown flowers in their hair
Or a soul stuck in despair
Who are stuck in this nightmare

You're in too deep

You're forgetting you're asleep
And these lies and these fears
Become your reality
Numbing the pain
Filling your mind with seeds
The monster who hides underneath
Starts to slither and creep
To the pillow where you sleep
He infects your mind
                          your thoughts
                                         your dreams
Whispers things in your ears
No girl or boy should believe
And you can't wake up
At least not by yourself
When the light from the window tries to drag you from this hell
But you roll over in your cozy sheets
Switch over another rosy cheek
Continue slipping into your own alternate reality

And its hard to admit to the truth
It was all in your head
The dreams that haunted you in your bed
You felt dead
But you're not alone
Whether you're without a home
Or famous and well-known
Whether you still dread going to school
Or everyone thinks you're cool
You are not alone
In the scribble you write to the abyss
While others dream of true loves kiss
Does it go like this?

I feel like demons are attacking me
Inside out
Don't even realize its happening
These lies that they feed me
That suicide will free me
They know that it tempts me

Why can't I be happy

The world is full of misery
Full of pain and children screaming
Out for an answer to their unending suffering
My time here is only ticking

Let's just break the clock
Smash it to the ground
Stop gasping for air and let myself drown
My friends and family say they love me
But whats the point of being when I'll never be happy

Just give me a sign
Tell me to keep going
This voice in my heart
This wind that keeps rushing
I think I know who you are
This voice in my heart
Keeps saying you love me
And to keep holding on
You say
I know what its like to hurt and to bleed
Believe me I know
But I also know and speak victory
Over you and these lies that you're living in
I've broken the chains and the door to this prison
So stop living in sin
Addiction
Know that I'm in to the end
On the cross I hung broken

Fishing

Fighting for a breath
Water closing above my head

Striving against the current
My heart is getting hardened

Should I board a boat and sell my soul
Drown dreams and fish for hollow goals

Fight to breathe or give up trying
To breathe an air that's satisfying

Fishing may be what most people do
I'd rather be the fish
Struggling through

No one told me it was easy

To swim alone in the sea

No one told me it was easy

To sink oceans deep

What am I to do
When I don't know what to do
And I can't move on
From what I'm holding on to
